It’s the first day of Spring, but I’m already craving summer. (Heck, I’d settle for sunshine at this point – I know you east coast readers feel me!) But, since the weather isn’t cooperating, why don’t we all just take a little virtual trip to the beach instead…
When I visited South Africa (which feels like years away now!) we drove up the coast through all these awesome little beach communities, and I couldn’t help thinking that the next time I go, I’d love to rent a house, and spend at least a few days living life by the sea…
Well, it turns out, I totally can. Because this airy, light-filled beach house? It just happens to be in Dwarskersbos – an area north of Capetown. And… you can rent it. Hello heaven!
Filled with tons of white, minimalist furnishings, and just the right dose of personality, I am completely in love.
Hey, genius wine storage idea. And the simplicity of the kitchen is as refreshing as the rest of the home…
Oh, yeah. And then there’s this. Not to shabby, right? I’m ready to pack my bags again!

Ah, you now have me just itching to go to the beach. I have only been in Seattle two weeks and though I kinda love it, I do miss a little sunshine. About to go scour your archives for Seattle advice! xo
That looks amazing! Clean design, airy and light filled is exactly what a beach house should be. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the virtual trip. I needed that up in gloomy Toronto!
These are gorgeous rooms. I definitely agree: where is the summer time? I want to sit outside on the beach instead of the rainy gloom of March’s end. Thanks for the small adventure via photographs!
Oh my, that house looks like heaven itself! It looks so remote and private there, which is perfect. I can’t stand crowded beaches and bikinis on people who really shouldn’t wear them. hehe. What a beautiful vacations spot. I would love to travel to South Africa someday. I think I have my husband convinced to travel to Africa, at least someday. Sigh.
Great photos, we are off to the beach next weekend so this got me in the mood!
What an amazing place! Looks so dreamy for a vacation by the sea! Happy first day of spring:)
Yep, I think I could be veeeery happy here
Oh I’d give anything to be at a beach right now. And that kitchen = Want.
woah!! amazing place!! http://www.aureliabphotographie.com
I’m based in Seattle, no nice to see the sun! Love the home!
That bedroom is so delicious!
Gorgeous! I would move in immediately!

Yes please. What is it about the beach that makes everything wonderful? Hair is better, skin is better, brain is better…especially at a place like that.
Can I live there? Or vacation there? Or somehow just be in a place like that-one that conveys a sense of utter bliss and relaxation? Beautiful find, thanks for sharing!
