Escape the pressures of city life and discover the tranquil oasis of Seas the Day, a secluded beach house that offers the perfect getaway. Nestled on a pristine, undiscovered beach, it provides a picturesque and charming retreat with all the comforts of home. By supporting the local community, this property ensures that your visit directly benefits the village. The fisherman’s family serves as caretakers, nearby restaurants cater to your dining needs, rickshaw drivers offer convenient door-to-door service, and boatmen are ready to take you out to sea. They are all your friendly neighbors, always available to assist you with any request, no matter how small.
The house itself reflects thoughtful construction, utilising local laterite stone and a 250-year-old indigenous technique that coats the walls with egg shells, egg white, and lime. This method eliminates the need for painting and ensures a lifetime of beauty. Every aspect of the house has been meticulously designed, from the pebble accents in the outdoor sitting area to the upcycled old door transformed into a dining table, and the teak wood windows and doors sourced from homes belonging to the British Raj era.
comforts
The house embodies exceptional energy efficiency, with each room thoughtfully designed to capture the refreshing sea breeze. As a result, even during the height of Indian summers, air conditioners are rendered unnecessary. It features two bedrooms with attached bathrooms, a cozy living area, a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious dining area, a terrace accessible from the first-floor bedroom, and a welcoming verandah on the ground floor.
The unspoilt beaches in the area invite you to embark on scenic hikes along the coastline for miles. Although the property operates on a self-catering basis, a caretaker attends to daily cleaning and dishwashing duties.
food
Although guests are typically responsible for providing their own food and preparing meals, the caretakers offer an option to indulge in authentic Mangalorean cuisine. If desired, they can skillfully prepare delicious home-style dishes such as fluffy sannas, fish fry, fish curry, and rice, ensuring a delightful culinary experience during your stay.
