Whales Watch had incredible views from the main Ocean View Level, but it lacked a direct connection to the outdoors. A new entry was incorporated into the renovation, featuring a pair of French doors that lead to an outdoor play area. An intricately crafted fence separates the children’s play space from the pool and cabana area. So as to integrate seamlessly with one another, the landscape and fence were designed at the same time, by landscape architect Arek Galle of Beta Group and Matt St Cyr of Cumberland Ironworks. Constructed of mahogany and stainless steel, the fence undulates through the landscape and is reminiscent of elements found on a ship. Although it appears solely utilitarian, the handmade fence is truly a work of art.

Once a hunting retreat with no electricity, the original cottage held a couple of small rooms, rustic plumbing, and remnants from ocean debris washed in through windows during winter ocean storms.
