Commissioned from Lubbock, Texas, artist Reesa Q, a portrait of their family beach home graces the entry space, along with one of her paintings with umbrellas similar to Cinnamon Shore’s.
The elevator makes the three-story home more accessible, and an acrylic window panel in the doorway helps it feel larger and more open.
DESIGN TAKEAWAYS
From his vacation rental management experience and worldwide travels, Cinnamon Shore homeowner Ames Brown says these thoughtful luxuries satisfy guests. • Flooring. Avoid carpeting in a coastal environment and opt for materials such as ceramic tile that emulates woodgrain flooring. • Elevators. Add a clear, acrylic “window” to the doorway of residential elevators to alleviate any claustrophobic feelings. Install automatic gate closures so elevators don’t get stuck a level above if someone forgets to shut it. • Bathrooms. Heated bathroom floors always impress guests, even if used only in cooler months. Towel warmers feel nice any time of year.
