Stunning renovations have imbued this open and airy vacation getaway with all the charm of a beachfront cottage and all the sophistication of a luxury home.

Begin in the main living space, where accent walls of lapboard, tile flooring mimicking the look of hand-scraped hardwood and exposed beams on vaulted ceilings present a calming beach house motif set against a stylish living space with sofa and two loveseats fronting a fireplace, massive flat-screen TV and wet bar for entertaining.

The whole of this living space is opened up to enjoy a sense of spaciousness, with the massive dining table offering bench seating for large parties just beyond the living space. Just beyond a grand slab of cultured marble is the thoroughly updated kitchen, with its pro-style chef’s range, antique brass-style accents, tiled backsplash and custom-fronted refrigerator.

It all fronts a vast Carolina room with daybed and gaming table for four surrounded by a panorama of windows gazing out to the tranquil outdoor living space. Here, slate tiles surrounding a pool with its custom water feature give way to a spacious pool deck with al fresco dining for four and gas grill. Just steps away, a serene lagoon provides a peaceful backdrop to the outdoor enjoyment.

Heading back in, we find four bedrooms that each offer resort-style splendor. Through the kitchen and past a neatly concealed washer and dryer we find the first suite, pairing a queen size bed with two twin beds. In addition to its own flat-screen TV and plenty of lush natural light, this suite enjoys a private bath with dual-basin vanity and cavernous walk-in shower.

A second bedroom on this side of the home fronts the patio, providing private access to the outdoors. Here, a king-size bed fronts lagoon views as well as a flat-screen TV in a space with its own en suite boasting a large walk-in corner shower.

This suite could serve as a master, as could two more on the far side of the home. The first sets a king-size bed beneath vaulted ceilings, creating resort-style elegance through beautiful natural light, a flat-screen TV and an en suite with dual basin vanity and walk-in shower.

The final suite enjoys private access to a private patio space with two chaise lounges, while inside lapboard walls lead up to a vaulted ceiling in a space with a king-size bed, flat-screen TV and en suite with dual-basin vanity and walk-in shower.

Throughout, sophisticated touches like custom light fixtures and high-end materials juxtapose beautifully against a rustic yet refined beach house atmosphere in this stunning vacation charmer.
