Our wedding exceeded every expectation we had, and so much of that was thanks to Kimwood Ranch! The beauty of the property is unmatched with everything you need on site - enough space for getting ready between the two houses, a variety of locations for photos, we loved having space for some guests to camp, and so much more. Our dance floor in the barn was packed till the very end! There was so much flexibility working with the whole Kimwood team - they were all kind, thoughtful, and accommodating. The owners are some of the sweetest people you’ll meet. All of our vendors loved the location and enjoyed working with them too. Natalie as our coordinator went above and beyond, providing insight and guidance on the aspects I felt unsure of or wasn’t even thinking about. She truly made our wedding as smooth as possible and such a memorable day. I can’t say enough good things about her and the experience I got to have as a bride because of her. I’m tearing up writing this because she made such an impact! We are so happy we chose to have our wedding at Kimwood!

We cannot recommend Ocean View Hot Tubs highly enough! Simy and Humble provided the most incredible experience for our wedding in Shelter Cove. We rented all of their stunning properties, including Mango Tango for our bridal suite and rehearsal dinner. Mango Tango was absolutely perfect: gorgeous, comfortable, and spacious enough to host a long dining table for 26 guests in the main room. The floor-to-ceiling windows and wrap-around deck overlooking Black Sands Beach created an unforgettable backdrop. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind property. Our wedding party stayed in the other Ocean View Hot Tubs homes, and everyone loved them. They offered the perfect combination of closeness and privacy, with each unit boasting its own hot tub and breathtaking views. The scenery was beyond beautiful. Our wedding ceremony was held on the lawn behind the Cliff House property, with the ocean as our backdrop. Even with a touch of fog, the location was magical and unique, it couldn’t have been more perfect. As amazing as the properties are, what really made this experience stand out was working with Simy and Humble. They are the kindest, most helpful, and responsive people we encountered during our wedding planning. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was seamless, and we’d genuinely love to stay in touch with them! If you’re looking for an unforgettable venue and exceptional service, Ocean View Hot Tubs is the best choice. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of, thanks to this incredible location and team. Thank you Simy and Humble for making it so special!
