This beach house weekend retreat designed by Waterlily Interiors is all about the views, set along the waterfront in Pasadena, a suburb of Baltimore, Maryland. Offering a relaxed suburban-rural feel, the home blends beachy hues with natural textures to create a cozy, seaside-inspired atmosphere that feels effortlessly connected to its surroundings.

A touch of urban flair brings in playful color—hello pink!—along with layered patterns and textures that creates an air of sleek sophistication accented by just the right amount of whimsy. Continue below to see the rest of this stunning family getaway on the water…

What We Love About This Home

We absolutely love the bold use of color throughout this weekend retreat. From the pair of emerald chandeliers casting a jewel-toned glow over the dining table to the sunshine yellow beadboard in the attic bunk room, every space has a personality all its own. The cedar built-in bunks with porthole windows are pure genius, the kind of detail that turns a weekend stay into a cherished childhood memory… and that dock with the paper lanterns and the watermelon boat, we just love it!
