The original version of the property at 698 Deep Water Bay Road was called "Bercenhus". The house was later redeveloped into the current "Miramar" property but it looks like the property's swimming pool was left as original. Maps from the 1970s show the property had been renamed to Wai Yuen.
It was featured in the 1973 German film Das Mädchen von Hongkong (aka Circle of Fear) and you can see some images of the pre-1978 version of the property at the following link: https://hkmacaufilmtvlocations.blogspot.com/2017/06/das-madchen-von-hongkong-joachim_20.html
It's hard to tell from the available aerial imagery, but it looks like the site was already demolished by the end of 1975.

68 Deep Water Bay Road
There are a number of photos on Gwulo showing No.68 Deep Water Bay Road in the distance. Possibly the clearest is this one, in which No.68 is the higher of the two houses at the extreme left of the pic.
The photo also shows No.68's closest neighbours, being No.70 (directly below No.68), No.71 (to the right of No.68) and No.72 (elongated building between and slightly below No.'s 70 & 71).
From a different angle;
The four buildings are seen on Shouson Hill with, from right to left, No.72, then No.68, then No.70 only partly visible in the trees above No.71.
