The experience ends at our private 3.5-acre off-grid waterfront retreat , accessible only by boat. (As seen by 4.2 million+ on Youtube - Family of 5 Living Off-Grid ) Relax on a sandy beach lined with palm trees, unwind at the tiki bar, and take in breathtaking mountain and ocean views from covered oceanfront decks.
