Taking inspiration from the Atlantic Ocean itself, this waterfront retreat in Bethany Beach, Del., is a tranquil escape for the homeowners to enjoy during their retirement years. From the porthole mirrors, to the vanity that was wire brushed and lime washed to look like driftwood, the accents throughout the house flow harmoniously into the natural setting.

Blue Bahia countertops in the kitchen evoke visions of a crystal blue sea, while the cable railing on the rear deck provides unobstructed views of the real thing. The custom-designed front door has a distinct nautical feel to it, and invites you into the cozy interior of the home, subtly accented with accessories found at the beach. The finished home is warm and inviting for the homeowners and their large extended family to enjoy year-round.
