Here is an old HGTV episode that had the client shopping at Oceanic Arts (not shown). There was a better episode but I can't find it now. The "person" giving the couple a toast at the end was our "other" next door neighbor that ruined his Eichler by putting a second story on it.

There are some photos of the old Rincon Room and 1 shot of the pool (photo gallery pages 7-8-9) from our last home (1962 Eichler) on the Tiki Magazine website. JonPaul may have more shots. We did not have a digital camera then so I don't know wher all the photos are that we took. Too bad you can't see all of it looking back towards the house. There was a BBQ just outside the bar that has a boomerang shaped concrete countertop. On page 32 of Atomic Ranch you will see our next door (good) neighbors house (they told AR about our house). They kept there house original but you don't get a shot of their pool. There are a few shots of our pad (atrium-lower left corner page 49/Front Exterior-page 95/Den page 96/ Living Room page 97) you can see a little of the bbq behind the couch outside. The bar was in the room right behind that Witco cocktail picture.
