Tour Coastal Living's Ultimate Beach House

Filed under: Design, etc, House Tours, News & Trends

Living seaside never looked so good.

Ever dream of living near the beach? You'd wake to the sound of crashing waves and seagulls in the distance. A gentle sea breeze would caress your cheek as you sip your morning coffee on your deck, gazing at the sea beyond your back lawn.

A gal can dream, right? But those dreams are much easier to envision when you have the help of Coastal Living magazine's Ultimate Beach House.

Located in Seabrook, Washington, which is located between Seattle and Portland, Oregon, the project focuses on sustainable building and design practices. And with a dramatic view overlooking the Pacific Ocean, you'll have an even greater appreciation for Mother Nature.

If you're near the Pacific Northwest, the home is available for touring until October 31. Tickets are $10; proceeds benefit the Pacific Beach Elementary School. Or wait for the October issue of Coastal Living to hit stands for the full tour. Until then, here's a little teaser to aid in your daydreaming.


Forget ultra-modern urban kitchens. This space has all that the home chef needs without overwhelming the space with unnecessary appliances or extra stainless steel touches. It's all about the basics in a coastal home, and this space achieves it with light wood, woven blinds and soothing gray. And the floors are plenty durable for sandy feet!



The retro vibe of this lounging area inspires thoughts of The Beach Boys and some "California Dreamin'" -- a perfect look for a casual beach-side spot. Don't you just want to cuddle up on this cozy sectional, put your feet up on the wicker tables and watch "Gidget Goes Hawaiian"?
