01The view

Wake up to the sun coming out of the Atlantic. Watch it go down that same evening from the same chair, without moving anything but the hammock.

180°

of ocean, from the balcony and from the kitchen, the living room and the dining room. The water is in every window.

02The house

A white house,
on its own cliff.

From above. The roof, the terrace, the reef.

The House on the Cliff PR sits apart from the other homes of Puente, above the treeline, with nothing between the balcony and the horizon. Two bedrooms with AC, two full baths, a full kitchen, a living room with a hanging chair, and every one of them looks at the water.

Room for seven. Gated parking for five cars. Washer, dryer, a water tank, Wi-Fi, a desk if you need one, Netflix if you don't.

◦The film

Thirty-five seconds. The drone comes over the roof, then the kitchen, the rooms, the door that opens onto the sea.

from first light to the last.

Two skies.
One balcony.

Sunset behind the bare tree next to the balcony, the sea lit gold
