with local review boards to keep profiles low and col- ors muted, minimizing the visual impacts from above. Andy and Yvonne Neumann still occupy the house


he designed, and White uses his home next door as a vacation residence. From the deck of the Neumanns’ spacious board-and-bat style beach cottage, Andy, a surfer, can monitor incoming swells. (He won the Legends division in the 2009 Rincon Classic.) Yvonne grows vegetables and flowers in raised beds kissed by sea mists. Their home, with its grass mats, comfort- able seating and Yvonne’s bright Fiesta ware, exudes an aura of simplicity, ease and elegance.


Early residents of Finney’s western end, closest


to Lookout Park, were Bill and Marie Woggon and their family, who moved into their cottage in 1970. Woggon estimates that the house was constructed in the 1940s. Their sons Jerico and Credence grew up playing in the seaside wilderness of the bluff. Jerico recalls the open fields and gorge next to the house as a “kid wonderland—a farm on the beach—where we kept ponies, goats and chickens.” The Woggons sold the property to Bob and Suzie


Mecay in 1996, and the redecorated house was featured in a 2006 Santa Barbara Magazine article
