About us

From the Bruwer family to our much appreciated guests. What does our home mean to us?

A place of healing, serenity and unspoiled beauty. Our family made new memories, found humbling realities and experienced tranquility in the panoramic and breathtaking views that our home away from home has to offer.

Pieces of us in the home: With a mom who loves to cook, the kitchen is stocked with all the utensils and recipe books a foodie could dream of. A daughter who loves to read, has many comfy nooks to do just that in 49 on 14th. From a sunken lounge and patio to a PJ lounge for the lazy days. A son who loves to entertain can blissfully lounge in the “splash pool” with a view and a beer in hand. And lastly, a dad that loves to see his family happy can observe the joy that the home brings in the silence that only the West Coast can provide.

It is our privilege to share our home with you and wish to add to your own forever memories.
