Inside the Faded Beach House and Austin Rental in Holmes Film

Inside the Faded Beach House and Austin Rental in Holmes Film

In the documentary You Can See Everything, the homes tell as much of the story as the people in them. Director Lance Oppenheim and cinematographer David Bolen shot the film on actual film stock with very little artificial light, so every crack and dust mote shows. The result is a portrait of luxury that looks nothing like a staged Zillow listing, according to Curbed, which tracked down two of the properties that Elizabeth Holmes and her partner, Billy Evans, occupied before she reported to federal prison.

The first is a four-bedroom, four-bathroom beach house at 2986 Sandy Lane in Del Mar, California. Curbed describes a dark, low-ceilinged mid-century interior walled in honey-colored wood, with white Formica countertops, a black microwave, and a mauve stand-up shower. Outside, the paint is peeling, and Holmes’s belongings sit in storage bins on the concrete driveway. Evans’s family developed a group of hotels in the San Diego area, and his parents appear to have lived on the same street. Curbed notes the setting offered a private beach and a gated street, citing a local broker quoted by Realtor.com, which suited a couple hounded by paparazzi.

The paper trail is murky. Fielder says in the film that the house is a rental, but the last advertised listing Curbed found dates to 2015, at $5,650 a month. Property records show the home has passed between relatives since 1994 and is now owned by three members of the Bedell family under a 2022 transfer. Substacker Carson Griffith reported, citing two tipsters, that the Evans family knew the owners, and also reported a rent of $28,000 a month; Curbed says it is unclear how she arrived at that figure. Zillow estimates the house’s value at $8.995 million.

The second home is in Austin, where Evans is shown raising the couple’s two children while Holmes is held at the federal prison in Bryan, about two hours away. A broker recently shared the address on Instagram: 606 Josephine Street, which Curbed reports is currently listed for sale at $2.25 million. The four-bedroom modern house matches the barren white walls and furniture seen on screen, including the L-shaped sofa where Amanda Seyfried meets the children and the circular dining table where they spar. It is also where a talking, deep-fake version of their mother appears on a vertical screen facing the dining table.

According to brokerage records linked on Zillow, the house has been listed at around the same price on and off since March 2022 without selling. Curbed reports that the owners appear to have settled for renting it to Evans and the family in 2024, after advertising it at $8,750 a month. An older ad marked “leased” promised an “unparalleled blend of comfort and convenience.” Curbed suggests the real draw was the gated parking, with a stone fence that keeps photographers’ cameras from seeing in.

A third property, the high-ceilinged Texas rental where Holmes’s parents wait at a wet bar and where Nathan Fielder asks his final questions, remains unidentified. Curbed says it could not find the address, and that Evans’s name did not appear on deeds, voting records, or businesses tied to a Texas residential address. In the film, Evans says the couple moved around to escape the paparazzi.
