Home by the Sea

Home by the Sea: New York

If you’re looking for a proper seaside escape with a group of your nearest and dearest, here it is. This home is so close to the sea, you can hear the waves rolling into the ocean as you sip your wine on the terrace. But let’s start by taking a look inside. The open living area is simultaneously enormous yet cosy, with the big corner sofa and armchairs creating a nice space for you to gather together around the fireplace in front of a film. The beach-house theme – white walls with pops of blue – works nicely with all that natural light coming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The kitchen has everything up to ten people could possibly need, including that all-important coffee machine. Back to that gorgeous terrace – here is where to come for connecting to nature. Sink into a lounger and listen as the trees sway around you to the sound of the sea. Or grab a towel and enjoy more of the same from the hot tub. The lawn is big enough for little ones to play tag while grownups gather around the firepit. Beyond the home, a private beach is just a few paces away. Or borrow a complimentary bike and explore the nearby town and beaches.
