The garden was architect designed and uses strategic planting to ensure it is private from neighbouring homes while framing the vistas of the sea and marina. There are steps from the terrace to the manicured lawn, bordered by topiary and flower beds of agapanthus and lavender. Well-established trees and shrubs provide dappled shade during summer where you can sit outside watching the boats coming in and out of the marina.
