PROPERTY

It's the perfect weekend retreat for the owners, who rent the holiday home out through uniquehomestays.com. With whitewashed interiors, lofty ceilings and outdoor living spaces too, the owners created a relaxing retreat that offers tranquillity for busy minds.

LIVING ROOM

There's also a small dining table made from reclaimed wood.
Despite the beach house's light and bright summer-vibe interiors, the wood cabin-like feel, deep sofa and wood burner would also make this a cosy winter retreat, perfect for warming up after brisk beach walks.
