The mere thought of living near the beach will make you wanna stay in it for long because of the comfort you will feel while in it. It would be very nice to be welcomed by the sunrise and to end the day with the sunset. The ocean breeze will make us feel one with nature as we relax or even when we do our tasks for the day. Well, a house near the beach is something most of us dreamed of. If you are unaware of it, beach homes have a certain style that is common to most houses located near the ocean. Although, not all adopts the look and some homes that aren’t near the beach also get this kind of look.
A beach style exterior sets the mood of being with the freshness of the beach. I know you are thinking of oars, fish, life preservers and others for decor but yah you can see that in the interior. But in the exterior, it has some roofing style that is either gable or flat. It is also important that the type of roof would last long because of its exposure the ocean’s breeze. Some have blue shades on them and are usually made of wood and concrete. Let us take a look at some homes below.
