Like a tasty dessert, I love ending the week with a beachside treat! This incredible island home off the coast of North Carolina was designed by Don Duffy Architecture, a full-service architecture firm based out of Charlotte. Can’t you just feel the breeze through the turquoise Bahama shutters?! My oh my, those are amazing!! LOVE that painted door in the first pic too! AND the views….the breathtaking views! You can see more of this home, and lots more great work by Don Duffy over here! Happy weekend!!

LOVE this! I dream of a beachside home.
Just found your website. Have you seen the interior designs here http://www.hotelmuranotacoma.com/
I stay here for a week every February. Check the guest room photos.
Love the shutters!
This house reminds me of the ones I've seen at Epworth Heights in Ludington, Michigan. Dear friends have let us use their cottage there on different occasions, and it is literally one of my most favorite places in the world! I had a Project 365 post with photos from our trip there last year (http://kimfromthesouth.blogspot.com.ar/2011/10/project-365-september-edition-part-2.html). Our friends cottage is smaller than most of the homes (not that it's tiny, it's just not as large as a lot of others).
Epworth Heights is a private community of summer homes and I couldn't find anything online with photos… BUT I did find a cottage for rent next to the community, and the photos on the website show that it's very similar to the houses in Epworth. If you want to take a gander, here's the link: http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p240156
So many inspirational homes out there!
That house is yummy. We just returned from a white sand vacation, and that post has me yearning for more!
Totally dreamy beach retreat!
Erin, Don and his wife, Laura are friends of ours. There isn't a better architect or person out there. I would recommend him hands down to anyone! You would love him! thanks for sharing this beautiful home! He does fabulous work! Have a great weekend!
A perfect beach house! Don really knows how to design it! Love the shutters!

I love the color combination that was used! The fence in the first photo with the oars is pretty dang awesome. Clever!
This is my favorite house so far! I want to move in there NOW!
Kind of scarey that the front yard is disappearing under the sand…
Oh wow, what a beautiful home! This just makes me want a beach vacation!

I love the turquoise shutters and would love to be there on the beach!
Beautiful! I want to be there….
Where is this house located? Anyone have more details? Vacation rental etc?
This home is beautiful! That is my ultimate dream, living in front of a beach in a house like this!
The house lives by the beach. I love the beach=themed interior of this house. I presume that the interiors are mostly Bahama-themed. I would love to take a vacation there someday!
The combination of the use of the Bermuda shutters is lovely, and the color is exquisite. Nothing makes island living (or the idea of it) come to life like the use of Bermuda shutters for ventilation, sun protection, and privacy.
