Perched high on an ocean hillside, built on 30 ft tall steel legs, the cozy quarters above are akin to an old ship’s cabin. With 360 views at 30ft up you can chart the sun and stars across the sky, set your rhythm to the ebb & flow of the tide and scout the surf from above. Greet the evenings with a cozy woodstove, sunset with drinks on the deck, moonrise with a dip in the hottub & mornings with fresh espresso. Permit yourself to depart land for a while and come stand watch at The Tower.
The Tower is one of our three Shackup properties. We have the Aframe, The Tower and The Cabin. You can see our full lineup at airbnb.com/p/shackup
**Please not an all wheel drive or four wheel drive vehicle is required for winter stays when there is icy or snowy conditions! Please message us to chat more about if you’d like more details.
The tower is an adventure, but we dare say the most comfortable adventure you've ever been on. We built this place to give you all the creature comforts while you get lost in the vastness of the surrounding sea.
Floating above the ocean yet tethered to the ground on large steel legs. This place will pick you up and let you sink into nature, a good book, a hot tub soak, a hearty cooked meal, and relax into yourself and each other.
