Enjoy the night sky and see the Milky Way, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter clearly and you'll realize how everywhere you usually travel has light pollution that ruins your star views. When you wake up in the morning you may see wild horses walking along the beach and hear waves crashing on the shore.

At dusk, AKA "golden hour" you'll see the most beautiful sunsets reflected on the clouds and the coconut palm trees reaching up towards the sky west of the property!!
