Dreaming of a beachfront property

Pacific Shores, a beachfront subdivision in Talisay, Negros Occidental

I’ve been browsing over some vacation photos, particularly those of our day at Pacific Shores, a subdivision by the sea, with landscaped themed gardens, clubhouse, pool and other community facilities. It’s nice that the parks and gardens are already fully developed by the subdivision owner and some houses are already constructed by the lot owners. Yup, a beachfront community is on the rise here.

The photos made me dream of having my own beachfront property too, with a house designed by yours truly. Naturally, I would like it to have a swimming pool, with landscaped gardens and outdoor furniture.

I would like to have an outdoor garden with an area for conversation, i.e. a set of cozy table and chairs for a group of four. Having a house which provides a great view of the sea is really my dream.

My dream house would also have lots of outdoor chairs and tables, benches and lounge chairs to provide outdoor relaxation anywhere within the property. As long as outdoor furniture is cared for with protective covering, then they can last long and can withstand external elements such as the heat of the sun. Browsing online over some collections of patio furniture covers, a designer can choose from varied themes to fit the design style.

Another must for my dream beachfront property is a balcony where I can enjoy an overlooking view of the sea. I imagine myself lounging in a deck chair, sipping some cool drink while relaxing under the sun and appreciating a beautiful sunset or getting mesmerized with watching the waves.

How about you, what’s your preferred location for your dream house?
