Our ecological stewardship begins in our own backyard - literally.

As a small business dedicated to sustainability, we are deeply committed to enhancing the ecological health of our properties. Here are some of the initiatives we embrace to ensure an environmentally friendly and enriching stay for our guests:

Lush Greenery

Over the past 25 years, we've planted around 75 trees, over 100 palms, and a diverse array of smaller plants, including organic fruits and vibrant flowers. By choosing to stay with us, you support a property that significantly contributes to carbon offset through our thriving on-site greenery. Our gardens provide a tranquil retreat that will enhance your emotional well-being.

The landscaping also offers a selection of edible, pesticide-free native fruits when in season, allowing you to enjoy fresh, organic produce. The lawn is what the sustainable landscape architect calls a "freedom lawn"; it is not a monocultured turf that requires a lot of water to survive. Still, it is made up of a patchwork of native drought-tolerant grasses, ground covers, and flowers that our pollinators (like the Giant Swallowtail Butterflies that are hatched right here on our property) love.

Electric Vehicle Charging

We provide convenient on-site charging stations for our guests traveling with electric vehicles. To maintain fairness, we encourage guests to reserve this amenity through our guest portal, ensuring that those without electric vehicles are not inadvertently subsidizing this service.

Recycling and Composting

We are committed to recycling and composting across our properties. The compost created from our organic waste enriches our gardens, allowing us to grow various fruits, vegetables, and flowers while significantly reducing landfill contributions.

Eco-Friendly Laundry Practices

We don't change linens daily because many guests prefer to minimize waste. Instead, we offer mid-stay cleaning focused on spot treatment and laundering linens, which extends their lifespan and conserves resources. If you require mid-stay cleaning, please schedule it through our guest portal.

Energy-Efficient Cooling

Our roofs feature reflective coatings that effectively reduce heat absorption. With white flat roofs designed to reflect sunlight and individual air conditioning units in our cottages and pool houses, you can cool only the spaces you occupy, leading to significant energy savings.

Sustainable Dining

We consciously avoid single-use plastics and provide high-quality reusable plastic glassware for use around the pools. Our durable china and glassware are designed for repeated use, enhancing safety and sustainability.

Reducing Single-Use Plastics

To minimize waste, we've eliminated typical single-use plastic items, such as small shampoo and conditioner bottles, and instead provide larger pump bottles.

High-Efficiency Appliances

Our laundry facilities have high-efficiency washers and dryers that conserve energy and water. All our Energy Star-rated appliances, including refrigerators, electric stoves, air conditioning units, and dishwashers, are designed with high efficiency, further lessening our environmental impact.

Upcycled Furniture

Much of the furniture in our properties consists of upcycled or restored pieces, promoting a circular economy. Our slipcovers allow easy cleaning without harsh chemicals, ensuring a safe and eco-conscious environment.

By prioritizing these sustainable practices, we strive to minimize our environmental footprint and provide our guests with a comfortable, eco-conscious experience that fosters a connection with the natural world.
