Casa Cowells is beyond words. Perched on West Cliff Drive's historic Millionaires' Row, this custom luxury estate is a rare oceanfront offering, designed around the water.

An antique stained-glass fanlight crowns the entry, filtering brilliant color into the living space. Rainwater harvesting system supports the summer garden oasis. Designed by Craycroft, Green Building Award winning and ADA-designed, Casa Cowells was created with thoughtful intention. This coastal sanctuary was designed to make everyday life better.
