Simply by the Sea: Designed Cottages, Homes and Bungalows by the Sea Hardcover – April 1, 2019

The book provides a variety of coastal living abodes. From beach cottages to beach homes to beach bungalows, it has splendid photographs of wonderful interior design ideas. "Simply By The Sea" takes you especially to the East Coast of the United States. From Maine throughout Coastal New England (including Nantucket Island) to Sarasota Florida to Long Boat Key Florida located in the Gulf, it is a delightful "mini vacation" that takes you to living life near the sea. If you are a sea lover, as I am, you will enjoy this book. It has become a keepsake book for me. I just wish that more copies of this book had been printed so that the price would be more affordable to more people to enjoy. If you are able to obtain a copy, you have a rare gift. Enjoy! God bless! <>< <3

I saw an advertisement for this book in two magazines that I bought and decided to order it. It surpassed my expectations due to the beautiful photographs and designing ideas. I don't live near the ocean, but close enough to love coastal decor and I love browsing through Coastal Living magazines and other seacoast publications. This book is so much better than many of the other ones I have purchased. Well worth the money. I disagree with the person that gave it a one-star review. I found the text just as worthwhile as the photos and agree with the other positive review that I will keep this on my coffee table and read it again and again.

I've bought a lot of books about beach house and coastal décor over the years, and this one is by far my favorite! Each page is inspirational with lots of ideas for adding the right touches to create a beautiful seaside room! I loved the book so much, I ordered another for a friend who also likes coastal décor. She, too, is loving it!

Overall experience—good.The upper right corner of the book is slightly damaged. In a physical store I passed up buying the same book because of damage to the upper right corner. So I was somewhat disappointed to see almost the same damage to the book I received in the mail.

This is no doubt the most gorgeous book! The quality is superb! Seriously, this is one beautiful book. I am a turquoise addict and love all the shades. I live where I see the brilliant turquoise sea and its intoxicating. So, this book is my favourite !

The only thing I wish? Is that author wrote paint (brand & color); fabrics, etc. A bit more details 👍

Used this book to plan my new whole beach house remodel. More pictures, less talk. My kind of design book. A great variety is included - shows my style and some new ideas. Thank you.

It is exactly the soft coastal esthetic I love. If you like soft coastal colors (turquoise, soft green and lots of white) set in a casual comfy way you will appreciate this book as much as I did!I like to use these type of design books for inspiration and decorating ideas.

This is a very beautiful large book and very well printed. If you like the cover then you will like the book. All the interiors shown look the same, with the same colors, furniture and styling. It could be one and the same home. If you like this style then buy it. The book is very pretty.

A beautiful book that's been well read. Wonderful photos throughout and would make a great gift too.

I just love this book ... page after page of beautiful white beachy rooms accented with soft pastels colours.

Love the book...so beautiful to look at!!
