This waterfront outdoor living design transforms a classic black-shingle beach house into a true resort-style retreat, seamlessly connecting the home to the dunes and shoreline beyond. At the heart of the space, a long rectangular pool with an attached spa anchors a spacious bluestone-style paver patio. A strip of rich artificial turf runs alongside the pool, lined with a row of white Adirondack chairs for open-air lounging, while a shaded pergola with built-in bench seating and a woven dining set creates a separate gathering area for meals and conversation.
A sunken stone fire pit with wraparound seating adds a cozy evening focal point, and a built-in stone outdoor kitchen with grill keeps entertaining close to the action. Layered retaining walls and planted grasses soften the transition from the manicured patio to the natural dune landscape.
