Beach houses are typically vacation homes or secondary residences located near the beach or in a coastal area. These houses are designed to take advantage of the scenic views and the relaxed lifestyle often associated with beach living. Beach houses typically have open floor plans, large windows, and outdoor spaces like balconies, patios, and decks, allowing for an indoor-outdoor living experience. The architectural style of beach houses can vary greatly, but many feature coastal-inspired design elements such as wood siding, large windows, and light colors to complement the surroundings.
