"Beautiful structure deeply rooted in Japanese design in a wonderful location. Quiet. Spacious. The ocean a stone’s throw short walk away. A not to miss. We will be back, for sure."

About this house rental

Hinoki House was designed and built by master craftsman Thamby Kumaran, his mentor Ichikawa Kihei, and Michael Singer. Traditional post-and-beam Japanese craftsmanship is combined with classic California design sensibilities to create light-filled rooms and a strong sense of form and materiality. This unique property sits on a wild meadow, bounded on two sides by cypress hedgerows and within reach of the Pacific Ocean. Whether you are looking for quiet relaxation or a bit of outdoor adventure, the property and location offer both. From your front door stroll less than 1/2 mile to Point Cabrillo State Park which includes the historic 1909 Light Station (30.5 acres), approximately 270 acres of undeveloped coastal bluffs, prairie, and numerous coves, including Frolic Cove, the site of the

Hinoki House's peaceful setting is the perfect retreat from the hustle of modern life. With its old-world craftsman architecture, zen shoji screens, and natural setting it is truly a tranquil escape. The Primary queen has its own full bathroom upstairs, and downstairs is a double bedroom with its own full bathroom.

Although Hinoki House is pet friendly, please note that it is limited to dogs only with a maximum number of no more than 2.

*Due to the local cypress trees surrounding the property, bats are common in this area. They are naturally attracted to light, so we have proactively installed a strip of aluminum foil above the front door porch and placed scent deterrent bags to keep them away from the entrance.
While bat encounters inside the home are rare, we highly recommend keeping the front door and sliding doors closed to ensure they do not accidentally fly inside.
Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. If you have any questions or concerns during your stay, please do not hesitate to contact our office. Thank You.*

Loved the quiet neighborhood and easy access to the ocean. Home was clean and had most of everything we needed. Many windows that let in natural light. My elderly mom used the downstairs bedroom and was comfortable. Upstairs bedroom was roomy and cozy.
