The house

Two floors, room by room

Bedrooms upstairs, living space and the study on the main floor, two bathrooms up and one down. Cream walls, pale tile, light oak — and three places where the colour arrives on purpose.

The master bedroom with a queen bed, air conditioning and doors onto a private patio.

Master bedroom

Queen bed, air conditioning, an ensuite bathroom with a rain shower, and a large private patio of its own. Balcony access, like all three bedrooms.

The second bedroom with a queen bed and glass doors onto the shared balcony.

Bedroom two

Queen bed and air conditioning, opening onto the balcony it shares with bedroom three.

Bedroom three

Queen bed, air conditioning, and the other set of doors onto the shared balcony.

The living room with its accent wall, sofa bed and 75-inch television.

Living room

The accent wall, a queen sofa bed, and a 75-inch television. The dining area sits alongside it, and the covered patio is through the doors.

Study

A room with a door, a desk and a good chair — for the morning you need to take a call, or the month you decide to work from here. There's a monitor, keyboard and mouse to plug your laptop into, and a single daybed for one: full length at 190 × 71 cm (about 6'3" × 2'4"), a little narrower than a standard single, so it suits a teen or a slim adult.

The kitchen with a five-burner range, full-size fridge and light oak cabinetry.

Kitchen

Five burners, a full-size fridge with ice and water, a Vitamix and a Nespresso machine with the pods already in the cupboard. Cook properly, or don't — Oistins is ten minutes away.

The covered patio with a dining table and chairs beside the garden wall.

Covered patio

Off the living room, shaded through the afternoon, with a table you can eat at properly. The metal geckos are on this wall.

A hand-painted jungle mural covering the stairwell wall.

The stairs

A hand-painted jungle mural runs the height of the stairwell. It was made for this house and it is the loudest thing in it.

The ensuite master bathroom with a rain shower and pale tile.

Master bathroom

Ensuite to the master bedroom, with a rain shower.

The second bathroom off the upstairs hallway, with a rain shower.

Upstairs bathroom

Off the upstairs hallway, serving bedrooms two and three. Rain shower, like the others.
