Rockport - Beach Property For Sale #7736015

Some homes are designed to be lived from the outside in. This classic Anglo-Caribbean residence sits on Lot 11 along Marea's gracious entry drive - the first impression of the community, and one worth arriving home to. Beneath a standing seam metal roof and dramatic timber brackets, a two-story porch wraps the street faade in the language of coastal heritage: generous overhangs, stacked balconies, and the kind of deep shade that makes Gulf breezes worth savoring. Rather than turning inward with a traditional courtyard, this design extends horizontally - a sprawling covered outdoor living room with fireplace and outdoor dining anchors the rear porch, offering something closer to a private resort than a weekend retreat. Upstairs, two guest bedrooms flank a sleeping nook, perfectly suited to the rhythms of coastal life at Marea, where fishing the flats at dawn and gathering on the porch at sundown are equally essential parts of the day. Designed by Maker Design Studios -- Hattiesburg, MS. A boutique waterfront design firm whose work has appeared in Southern Living and Coastal Living, designers of the 2023 Southern Living Idea House, Maker brings a deep reverence for Southern coastal vernacular and a keen sensitivity to site and landscape to every home they place at Marea.
