An unprecedented tour of breathtaking beach community and waterfront properties in idyllic settings such as Southern California, Florida, the Hamptons, and Puerto Vallarta is showcased in this alluring volume. The select houses—ranging from casual weekend retreats and charming cottages to luxurious family compounds—are the personal homes of decorators and tastemakers such as Chris Mead, & Zoe Hoare Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan, Juan Montoya, Martyn Lawrence-Bullard, Matthew Rolston, Linda Garland, and Michael Bruno. Freed from the frenetic pace of daily life, a beach house is a place to express your playful, adventurous side: white floorboards replace thick carpets, rooms are accented with jaunty nautical touches, and the palette ranges from pastel tones to shots of vivid color.

Annie Kelly is a well-known decorator and journalist. Her books include Casa San Miguel and Litchfield Style, and she is a contributing writer for international lifestyle magazines, including World of Interiors and French Architectural Digest. Award-winning photographer Tim Street-Porter is the author of numerous architecture and design books, including Tropical Houses. He is a contributor to House Beautiful and Vanity Fair, among many other lifestyle magazines.
