The entrance to the property is on the eastern end of the plot. The house itself is at the other end but a large high-roofed beach side pavilion is immediately in front of you. This pavilion provides a day time comfort zone to chill and watch the waves crash over the reef, as well as for cocktails as the sun slips into the ocean.
The long rectangular pool sits inbetween the pavilion and house and is built so that it is flush with the garden and sea. The house itself is raised from the garden. It is a linear design with the bedrooms on either side of a sumptous sitting room. There is a granite stone terrace running along the length of the house that has a breakfast table as well as lounge chairs and affords fabulous views across the garden and out to sea.
Great care has been taken with the interiors. This is no 'holiday home'. It is a home, full of personal items from overseas as well as Sri Lanka that reflect the character of the American owner. The bedroom suites are large and have very high ceilings and the window shutters filter the sunlight and create a dappled effect across the polished cement tiles.
The colours are cool and inviting. Each bedroom has air conditioning and behind the 4-poster beds with gorgeous linen stands four columns with a curious water feature and bathroom sink. The shower is separate.
This is a most beautiful beach house lovingly decorated. We suggest it is not the place for small children - you would be too worried chasing after them. It is a house for those who enjoy style and have no need to rush.

Just wonderful
Would return in a second
Thanks to all the boys in the house for making it such a relaxing, easy going holiday. This may not be for everyone, but we loved it.
Only tip would be to keep us more in the loop with payment for food, drinks etc...
All in all a great place!
