Surf Vibes|California Cool design | Close to beach

Take up the fine art of daydreaming at “The Sea”, one of two units at the Swell House Port Dover. If an easy-breezy minimalist design with a boho twist is the kind of aesthetic that makes you swoon, you’ll love staying here and soaking in everything this beachside town offers. In only 1-2 hours, you can escape the city to a historic beach bungalow, just a 5-8 minute walk from the beach. The space Ready for a romantic getaway or a stylish home to explore the beauty and attractions of Norfolk County? Then, welcome to The Sea! This home is the kind of place where shirts and shoes are optional, and the everyday pressures of life seemingly melt away. To match the simplicity and beauty of its natural surroundings, we decorated this quaint little beach home with a minimalistic boho theme, evoking the aesthetic of the California Cool style. LIVING SPACE: Every detail was curated to make this space a place where you have no choice but to “kick back and relax.” Upon entering the living room, there are three things you’ll want to make this room as enjoyable as it was designed to be: - Your cutest vacay outfit (linen, anyone?) - Bare feet - A delicious cocktail Whether the sun is shining or it’s raining outside, the mid century sofa in this peaceful space will tempt you to either cuddle, read a book or take a nap (…in our opinion, why choose? You’re on vacation, right?! Do all three). Additionally, you’ll love spending time relaxing here because of the bright open feeling you get from the height of the 10ft ceilings. Staying with us in the cooler months? You’ll love that this room also has a gas fireplace with all the nostalgia of the good ‘ole days, perfect for spending nights tucked up by the fire with a hot cocoa, a movie or even better yet, some slow jams and whatever else comes to mind. BEDROOMS: Less is more, and the interior design of both bedrooms proves that stripped-down simplicity can not only feel extraordinarily peaceful but luxurious at the same time. The master and the secondary bedroom are calming and relaxing spaces with premium linens and top-of-the-line Canadian-made Endy mattresses known for keeping you cool and providing incredible support while you sleep. Details: - Master Bedroom - Queen-size bed with reading lights above and large ceiling fan - Second Bedroom - Bunk bed (Double-sized bed on bottom and twin bed on top) with an epic skylight above - Sleeps up to 4 guests, including children BATHROOM: Wash your cares, and the sand between your toes away in this amazing bathroom painted white with a green concrete sink and a breathtaking terrazzo tile. This whole room is a minty dream that’ll make you wish you could copy + paste it at home. We also provide a decadent line of body soap and toiletries to make your morning routine that much more luxurious. MINIMALIST KITCHEN: A beach getaway with the kids or your fave human means you’ll need a place to prepare snacks and meals when you aren’t dining at one of the many delicious restaurants on the strip. This fully modern and updated kitchen has everything you need to chop up some fresh veggies and fruit you may have picked up at The Port Dover Farmers Market. If you’re wondering what items you’ll need to pack, don’t worry about bringing along any kitchen tools; we’ve got you covered with all the gadgets you need to prepare a meal easily. After all, we know you’ll want to spend as much time as possible exploring and relaxing instead of working away in the kitchen. Are you a coffee addict? If so, we’ve got your back. The kitchen is equipped with a Keurig coffee station and pods, a french press, coffee grounds and everything you need for a cup of tea. DINING SPACE: Tuck yourself up to the kitchen island for a dinner for two, three, or four under a white globe chandelier that lends to the light and airy feeling of the entire home. But if you prefer to eat outside, there’s a fun vintage style outdoor dining table with room for four. You’ll love starting your day out here with a cup of coffee or gathering around the table in the evening under the stars with your favourite bottle of vino to chat the night away. OUTDOOR SPACE: A home this charming with over 100 years of history in such a quaint town needed to be restored with care, and that’s what you’ll see from the moment you arrive. The home's bright white exterior, neatly kept grounds, and a beachy resort-style backyard oasis are everything you’d want in a cottage-chic getaway. We kept things simple and classy and let the uniqueness and integrity of the architecture shine through. It’s hard not to imagine the stories this place has held. How many young couples started out here, fell in love and lived out their dreams on this sweet little piece of land. In the backyard, you’ll find a great space with seating for outdoor dining and a bbq for honing your skills as a grill master. If you’re a writer, artist or the creative type, you’ll love sitting out here with your favourite drink, to dream up your next masterpiece or to let the kids play while you do a little imagining of your own.
