The property also includes a private, fully tropical, landscaped area at beach level; with "South Pacific" palm covered umbrellas; a bamboo fantasy cabana and a large bamboo picture window sauna. This private cove beach area, which has over 70 mature palms as high as 150 ft., has acted as a backdrop for California and Hawaiian beach scenes and is very private. Baywatch, the Beach Boys, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Frankie Avalon, David Hasselhoff and many other film and music celebrities have used the beach areas for their sand and water scenes. Both catalog and leading fashion model still photographers have made Cypress Sea Cove their "special" beach front location. The property fronts on a private road, which has 24-hour armed security and is a great location for car commercials with its tree line shoulders and brick curbs. It is also used for truck parking. This grass park area is used by the film crew's food services.
The interior of the main residence has a large 2nd story white reflective deck facing the ocean with no obstructions. The design and feel of the interior of the house could be described as a "Sea Captain/Victorian." It has the features of "nautical" theme stain glass windows and gothic hallways. The windows facing the ocean are large and gothic shaped. The floors, walls and tabletops are teakwood salvaged from the deck of the "USS Los Angeles."
For events and weddings there is outdoor mood lighting and security floodlights covering all of the entire location. Electric outdoor outlets are everywhere. There is a children's playground area with a very colorful jungle gym and swings set with spectacular ocean views. There is also a basketball and badminton court in the middle of a beautiful park setting.
The property is logistically designed for photography, filming, and events.
