1857 Beachside Tennis at The Sea Pines Resort

A clean, modern look and refreshing, airy spaces define this third-floor Beachside Tennis villa. Inside, it’s a contemporary coastal retreat with all the comforts from home. Outside, it’s a jaw-dropping bird’s eye-view of magnificent South Beach and the endless waves of the ocean beyond.

Every inch of the interior has been infused with sophisticated coastal style, where fresh and clean whites find playful elegance thanks to subtle pops of color throughout. In the kitchen, this contrast plays out beautifully thanks to a rich salmon back splash set against cream cabinets with brushed nickel hardware. Wraparound speckled granite counters wind through this roomy kitchen to a raised bar-height counter with seating for two.

Beyond, the open floor plan bathes a beach-inspired dining space in natural light. A mirror set in real oyster shells gives a sense of space above a circular dining table with coastal rattan seating for six.

In the living room, the eye-catching geometric pattern on two armchairs contrasts beautifully against relaxing taupe on a pair of sofas, one of which hides a sleeper bed. Across, an exquisite architectural alcove allows a huge flat-screen TV to be viewed from anywhere without obstructing any views.

And those views are crucial, as one whole wall of this space offers tall windows looking out on the ocean. Step out, and you’re on a dreamy wraparound porch standing above the dunes.

Two bedrooms wait in the wings, each with its own stylish surprises. The master enjoys a spacious appeal thanks to a clean and airy palate, right down to the cream and gold striped linens on the king size bed. This room enjoys such amenities as contemporary lighting, a flat-screen TV and a spacious desk, but the real star is the massive private patio with seating for two. You’ll also find elegance in the spa-like en suite with modern dual-basin stone-topped vanity surrounded by seaglass tilework, which carries into the tub-shower combo.

The second bedroom pairs two queen size beds in rich creams against dark tropical inspired furnishings. A flat-screen TV with DVD and VHS provides entertainment, but you’ll spend most of your viewing time gazing out the sliding glass doors out to the porch and the ocean beyond. An en suite rounds out the luxury of this space with its own dual-basin stone-topped vanity, seaglass tilework and tub shower combo.

A washer and dryer within the villa provide all the comforts of home, while stunning views and a dazzling contemporary look will provide all the luxury of your dream vacation villa.
