Style Notes
Fresh, light, uncluttered and airy with fun pops of color. The owners love Tom Kelly and Slim Aarons photography so they feature prominently throughout the house. The style is beachy and playful with a strong nod to practicality - there are no sharp edges or precarious lamps. We love the vast, stylish bedrooms, the bright blue loungers around the pool and the yellow dining room chairs.
