Beach Cottage Drive Bys

Beach Cottage Drive Bys

Since we are in the last couple of days of summer at our house (school starts next week), my kids and I are heading off on an outdoor adventure! I’m unplugging, digging my feet in the sand and maybe even picking berries.

Awhile back I took these photos while driving by a cute beach house in Cannon Beach, Oregon. I think it was a brand new house. I was hoping to fit in more road trips and drive bys this summer but that darn emergency surgery kind of messed up my summer plans. Such is life. I’m looking forward to a fall drive by though, I’ve already found the perfect neighborhood in Seattle to show you!

But if you want to enjoy some more end of the summer beach cottage drive bys, you can visit the way way back machine to last years beach house drive by (the one I did right after my daughter’s wedding)…there are some really cool beachy houses to drool over! It is worth checking out again!

    What a great idea! It’s such fun to see how others along this great coast of ours live–thanks for taking us along! I live in Southern California- very close to Laguna and Newport Beach and really need to document my wanderings around town as you have-thanks for the inspiration!

    Hi Melissa. Wow, I love this beach cottage! The combinations in textures of stone and shingles is quite interesting, and I love the colors, too. What a fun drive-by. I bet you wish you could peek inside this charming abode, too. ~Arleen

    This looks like a really great beach house. So warm and inviting! I’ll check out your last drive-by. I hope you’re feeling much better and recovered following that emergency surgery.

    My husband I vacationed to Cannon Beach in June. …stayed at a beach house in nearby Falcon Cove. What heaven for me living in landlocked Missouri. Enjoy your piece of paradise!

    Sorry your summer plans got messed up. but glad you are on the mend. I look forward to your Seattle drive-by. Last year I did a post on my Seattle/Capital Hill walk-by. I heart Seattle.

    I’ve only been to Cannon Beach once but I loved it! Now I wish I would have driven through some of the neighborhoods versus just doing the touristy thing. Love that beach house!

    Pretty house! I love a good drive by-house looking of course-not any other kind of drive (yeah, I grew up in area when drive by’s were common, and they weren’t for looking at homes!) Yikes, I like your drive by’s much better! Thanks for sharing!

    Have a great getaway!

    Hi Melissa
    I lost your link…just found it again. I took the Fall Nesting button and put it on my sidebar. We’re going home from the lake tomorrow…hopefully I’ll be able to do some nesting over the weekend.

    I enjoyed the driveby.

    Oh, that’s pretty! We drove through Cannon Beach on one of our trips and it was so pretty it made me want to move from Florida. I love that whole area up there.

    Enjoy the last days of summer!

    Such a pretty one! Although different, my builder home in suburbia has a bit of the feel and details of this home (although it is brick not shingle style). I would love to see the interior of this one. Thanks for sharing.

    I LOVE driving by pretty houses. My husband (during his boyfriend status) knew how much I loved houses and we would spend dates having coffee in his car, driving by pretty houses and dreaming.
