SHALL WE RETIRE TO THE LIVING ROOM?
Abalone Bay’s sunken living room with full picture windows of the ocean bluff and the Pacific beyond is the perfect family retreat. After a full day of whale watching, touring Mendonoma, trekking the ocean bluff trails, or exploring the upper trails in the redwoods, it is the living room that draws everyone together (see floor plans).
OCEAN VIEW LIVING ROOM A PLACE TO GATHER

What better place to gather your family, your friends, and your loved ones, including your dog?
If you fish or dive of course you are bragging about the size of the abalone you harvested today. Together you re-live your wonderful adventures, plan for new exciting ones, or simply relax.
Are you there during your favorite sports season? Then settle back in your arm chair to view your team play their hearts out on the 60″ HDTV with DirecTV programing.
Would you prefer to watch an old favorite movie? There are plenty of DVDs to choose from: Romance, sci-fi, drama, comedy, children’s favorites, western, even yoga!

How about challenging your partner to a game of checkers, chess, or dominoes? There’s also cards, scrabble, and many more games to entertain the evening away.
To fill the room with your favorite tunes simply connect your personal iPod to the CD player . Or you may enjoy reading one of our books if you haven’t brought one of your own.
As you sip a warm cup of tea served from the Japanese tea set, snuggle in one of our throws as you cuddle next to the fire.
VIEW NATURE FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR CHAIR
Are those the binoculars sitting in the corner? Why yes they are!
You pick them up and to your surprise you see a whale spouting off in the distance, while closer in to Abalone Bay deer come out to feed and there’s that bobcat! You wonder what else you might see.
Later you light the fire with a flick of the button, fill your glass, and toast the setting sun as you view the ocean framed in the full wall of windows.
