Description of Facilities

The large main room, measuring approximately 25 feet by 45 feet, is light and airy, with one entire wall filled with windows overlooking the ocean; the opposite wall overlooks the patio and lawn. The room contains six columns, enhancing the appearance.. A mural by local artist Rik Erickson adorns one wall inside the main room, as well as the wall above the span of west-facing windows extending the length of the room. It is estimated that this room will comfortably accommodate up to 100 people, seated at tables.
There is a separate entertainment room, perfect for music and dancing. This room has hardwood floors, eliminating the need for bringing in a dance floor. The room is furnished with several sofas, chairs and tables. It is estimated that about 50 or 60 people can fit into this room while dancing.
We feature high-speed business WIFI, good for large presentations and video streaming.
There are two restrooms inside the building, including one which is handicapped-accessible. The kitchen is small, but is equipped with a sink, counter-tops, cabinets, and full-sized refrigerator.

The lawn adjacent to the patio is included with the building rental. A natural boundary is formed on the perimeter of the lawn by bushes, plants and walkways.
