The soft swish and sway of sea oats atop the dune as you sit in your favorite rocker, a cool ocean breeze caressing your shirt, and all the stars in the sky winking at you over the Atlantic Ocean.

Vaulted beamed ceilings, soft sea-glass walls, and wide-plank flooring, wainscoting set on a diagonal, set the stage. Imagine a game table anchoring the loft overlooking the living area below, the kind of space where long afternoons turn into longer evenings, where acquaintances become best friends. Furniture is included. The chef's kiss kitchen is the home's quiet showpiece. A hand-laid mother-of-pearl hexagon shell backsplash catches the morning light above all-new GE appliances, including a double wall oven, glass cooktop, and French-door refrigerator.

After a full day with the ones you love, rinse off in the outdoor shower enclosure, then settle onto the oceanfront deck as the sun slips lower. Step up to the loft's deck, pull up a rocking chair, and take in the Independence Day fireworks painting the sky above Southport's Harbor.
