I feel very blessed for sharing the work of the best builders, interior designers and architects in North America, and when it comes to sharing the most beautiful beach houses, I always go back to Marnie Custom Homes. Marnie and her team recently won the 2022 Custom Home Builder of the Year by the National Association of Home Builders and she is the first woman to win this prestigious award! How impressive is that?! As you will see, this award is more than well deserved!
Regarding this particular beach house, I love how the builder describes this home: “This is the ideal entertaining home for a perfect summer in Bethany Beach”. I couldn’t agree more!
📌: Make sure to pin your favorite beach house pictures! This is a post you will want to see it again and again!
