This week I’m working on a feature about a couple’s second home in Key West. Although I’m really excited to be writing the piece, part of me is brimming with envy. The house looks absolutely amazing and has me wishing for a vacation home of my own in a sunny locale next to the water. But since I haven’t even purchased my first home yet, I guess I’ll have to hold off on the second one. Until then, I can keep dreaming of what it may look like. For that, I took a look at two gorgeous vacations homes AH&L has featured in the past.
I find myself flipping through the pictures of Bill Musso’s Alys Beach home over and over again. I can’t get over how beautiful it truly is.
This courtyard is absolutely picture perfect. That lounger is calling my name!
This entrance leaves no question that you’re about to enter a charming and relaxing retreat.
This next home is the 2008 AH&L Designer Show House on Lake Keowee, designed by Beth Webb and Nancy Pendergrast.
I can imagine myself cozying up with a book and swinging away for hours on this porch.
This fresh, airy kitchen would be the perfect spot to eat, mingle and play cards—one of my family’s favorite group pastimes.
Where would you build your dream vacation home? What would you include in it?
