Beach House Plans

Beach house floor plans are designed with the scenery, surroundings, and weather in mind. These homes typically have large windows to take in views, large outdoor living spaces, and frequently, the main floor raised off the ground on a “stilt” base so floodwaters or waves do not damage the property.

What to Look for in Beach House Plans

The main attraction of beachfront home plans is their outdoor living space, which allows you to enjoy the beautiful surroundings — the warm air, sea breezes, plants, and trees that make these locations desirable. Many floor plans include lanais, spacious sun decks, wraparound porches, and patios to relax outside. Some homes include screened porch options, which may prove practical when constructing in an area with many insects.

Some of the other features that you’ll often find in beach house plans:

• Raised foundations that let waves and flood water pass through without long-term damage to your property.
• Breakaway walls, non-structural walls on the ground level, which are both aesthetic and provide an enclosure protecting items from the elements, but collapse in the event of flooding or a storm surge.
• Porches, decks, and balconies on multiple floors.
• Open floor plans with spacious Great Rooms that encourage togetherness during vacation.
• Primary suites and bedrooms that include windows or balconies to showcase the spectacular views. Beachfront settings often call for view lot house plans designed to maximize panoramic views.
• Bonus rooms that can be used as guest bedrooms or anything else you may need.
• Drive-under garage or parking to maximize the use of the space with a raised foundation.
• Extra storage space for the items you don’t want to bring with you each time you visit.

The beach is a well-loved vacation destination, and what better way to enjoy your extended stays by the ocean than in your own beachfront home?
