Arrival

A small house, held quietly on the coast.

Aster House was built around a single idea: that a coastline this rare deserves to be met slowly. Twenty-two rooms, one restaurant, and a stretch of private walking trails, with the Pacific always in view.

There is no lobby bustle here and no schedule to keep. The house is deliberately small, so that the ocean, the weather and the light remain the loudest things in the room.

Rooms

Twenty-two rooms, each one facing the water.

Twenty-two rooms

The whole house is twenty-two rooms. That number sets everything else: the pace of the mornings, the size of the restaurant, the quiet in the corridors.

The Pacific, in view

Rooms are oriented to the water. The view is not a feature list item here; it is the reason the building sits where it does.

Arranged directly

Stays are arranged with us, by conversation. Tell us when you hope to come and what you would like the days to feel like.

The Table

An on-site restaurant, a short walk from your door.

The restaurant sits inside the house, which means dinner never requires the highway. Guests come down as they are, in whatever the day has left them wearing.

It is small by design. The room fills, the light goes down over the water, and the evening takes care of itself.

On property

Dining is part of the house, not an add-on booked elsewhere.

For house guests

Let us know your plans when you inquire and we will arrange the table alongside the room.

Wellness

Treatments, kept close to the room.

Wellness at Aster House is on-site and arranged by request. Tell us what you would like when you inquire and we will build it into the stay.

Treatments on property

Wellness treatments are offered at the house, so nothing about the day requires leaving the headland.

Unhurried by default

Time here is kept deliberately loose. Treatments are arranged around your days rather than the other way around.

The coast does half the work

Ocean air, open sky and a quiet house: the setting is part of the treatment, not the backdrop to it.

Private trails

Walk out of the door and keep going.

Private walking trails run from the house into the surrounding land. No trailhead parking, no crowd: the paths belong to the property and to the people staying on it.

Planning a stay

Booked directly, by conversation.

Because the house is small, we arrange every stay ourselves. It is the fastest way to get a real answer, and the only way to have the room, the table and the treatments planned together.
