Beach/Coastal House Plans

Homes designed for shoreline living are typically referred to as Beach house plans or Coastal home plans. Most beach home plans have one or two levels and featured raised living areas. This means the living spaces are raised one level off the ground and usually have a parking area beneath the home. To achieve this, the majority of beach house plans and coastal home plans are built on pier foundations to accommodate the rising tides and waves, characteristic of oceanfront property. This type of foundation prevents flooding by allowing water to flow underneath the home without risking damage to the structure or items inside the home. It is quite common for beach house plans to incorporate large windows that are strategically placed to maximize the coastal view. Additionally, expansive porches and decks provide outdoor living spaces to enjoy the sights and sounds of coastal living. Some Vacation homes and Waterfront designs are similar to beach and coastal house plans.

Beach home floor plans range in size and style delivering everything for a simple vacation home or cozy bungalow to a luxurious beach house ensuring you’ll find just the right one to satisfy your cravings for oceanfront living. They usually feature an open floor plan which allows gentle sea breezes to flow throughout the home. Some designs incorporate specialized features for coastal living such as an outdoor shower to wash away the salt and sand after a day of splashing in the ocean. Coastal designs can be referred to as pier homes, stilt house plans, seaside homes or oceanfront house plans because they are suitable for shoreline living and may incorporate specialized design elements, materials and construction practices necessary to meet building specifications related to a marine environment or regional climates. Fashioned for relaxed and comfortable living, beach house plans have something to offer everyone who wants to live on the seashore.
