Humpbacks pass through from December to March and can be watched from the terrace rather than a boat. La Lancha and El Anclote are the local surf breaks, Sayulita is twenty minutes north, and two Jack Nicklaus golf courses sit on the peninsula."},{"section":"interiors","heading":"Inside the house","body":"Four king master suites and two further suites, every one en-suite and every one with an ocean view. Two fully equipped gourmet kitchens rather than one, which is what lets a chef work through a dinner service without closing the house down. A cinema and storm room carries an eighty-inch screen and a workstation. There is a game room with a pool table, shuffleboard, foosball and a bar, and an elevator between levels.","bullets":["Six en-suite ocean-view bedrooms: four king master suites and two further suites","Two fully equipped gourmet kitchens","Cinema and storm room with an 80-inch screen and a workstation","Game room with pool table, shuffleboard and foosball","Bar, indoor and outdoor dining and lounge areas","Elevator between levels","Air conditioning throughout, high-speed wifi, safe boxes, washer and dryer"]},{"section":"outdoors","heading":"Cliff, pool and beach","body":"The heated infinity pool faces the bay and a sunset platform sits above it, with a fire pit for the part of the evening after that.
