Pack your bags and join us as we head down to the coast for a summer vacation like no other—one filled with golden sun, shimmering waves, and plenty of cottage-style charm. For our Summer 2025 issue, we’re highlighting oceanside properties aglow with personal takes on coastal design, from a designer’s historic Florida abode to a family’s freshly updated forever home. Far from the kitschy décor so often associated with coastal style, these spaces highlight bright and breezy colorways, inviting natural fibers, and subtle nods to the seashore in everything from paintings to patterned upholstery.

In addition, you’ll be introduced to homeowners whose cottages serve as canvases for their creative visions, wander through gardens abloom with roses and hydrangeas, and meet two different artists whose passions for the ocean sparked delightfully distinct creative styles. From a sophisticated sunroom to a citrus-inspired kitchen, we’ve assembled a collection of summery spaces designed to help you relax and make the most of the season to come.
