THE STORY BEHIND AN ENTICING ALYS BEACH HOME!

August 31, 2008

Exterior of an Alys Beach home
Photo by Tommy Crow (above)Alys Beach – the elite planned community in Florida’s panhandle boasts many beautiful homes. This charmed beach community has many luxury amenities to offer including white sand beaches and fabulously designed public spaces. I have not been to Alys Beach but several of my friends have…and they say it is amazing.The Alys Beach home in this post caught my eye…a stunning 5 bedroom/5.5 bath home on a street called Somersett.

The white washed exterior is bright, cheerful and inviting. Architectually, the home’s exterior design is filled with visual interest, including many levels, a tower of sorts and so many windows that invite the outdoors to the inside and vice versa.

Although there are many lovely homes in Alys Beach, this particular home and its owners have a special connection to Alys Beach. Mike Ragsdale, public relations for Alys Beach, explains how this home is about following your heart and going to all lengths to be near home and family:

“Alys Stephens [pictured below]… and her siblings purchased this home together a few years ago. Last year, Alys (the granddaughter of our town’s namesake) left behind a very exciting career in Manhattan, to instead live and work here. Born in Birmingham, AL, she enjoyed almost all of her summers on the beaches here, but after graduating from New York School of Interior Design, she was hired by Robert A. M. Stern Architects (following an internship with Bunny Williams). For several years, she enjoyed the lifestyle of the Big Apple, but with this new concept was being envisioned for her family’s land back here, she recently accepted a job as our town’s Style Director. So Alys left behind her career in New York, and moved to the beach! She’s getting married in November. Her fiance is a social worker, who left New York to move to the beach as well. He now continues his social work here. “

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.

Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Mart Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Martha's Vineyard house. I rented this house for our two week stay in Martha's Vineyard. A few minutes walk to the center of Edgartown. The house was heaven. We were the first renters to stay in this newly built house.
