Summary

Peek inside the bungalows， trailers， and beach homeswhere surfers retreat after a day on the waves。 "Surf Shack" highlights the houses of longtime enthusiasts and dedicated newcomers that reflect not just a sport or a passion， but also a way of life。 These quiet harbors embrace a casual ease， the break between the waves。 Vibrant photographs of design details and bright beaches from Malibu to the Rockaways， from Kamagawa to Torquay capture the soulful milieu of a lifestyle we all aspire to。"

Raleigh Woods ，

A little coffee table book that was actually a fascinating read。 Loved seeing people’s lives and careers that shaped their decision to live by the sea。 Is sprite to have a surf shack of my own。

I have started to collect home design photography books more and more。 I think this one might be one of my very favorites-- beachy， coastal design has always been what I am most drawn too。 The lay out and pictures in this book are phenomenal。 Such excellent photography， I could literally flip thru it all day。 It makes for such a beautiful coffee table book too。 The home design style is one that will never get old。 Beautiful colors and beach vibey homes。 The stories included with each bungalow ar I have started to collect home design photography books more and more。 I think this one might be one of my very favorites-- beachy， coastal design has always been what I am most drawn too。 The lay out and pictures in this book are phenomenal。 Such excellent photography， I could literally flip thru it all day。 It makes for such a beautiful coffee table book too。 The home design style is one that will never get old。 Beautiful colors and beach vibey homes。 The stories included with each bungalow are great too！ 。。。more

I’m ready for an escape。 And a new hobby。 And a house in a tiny corner of this world， tucked on a beach。 🌊♥️

Rebecca Worley ，

not as much about the interiors as the philosophy but still good。

Tori ，

This is such a beautiful design book， perfect for any beachside coffee table。 I also loved the stories that were intermingled with it， of the people who owned these beautiful homes。 It read like a magazine while remaining interesting enough to become something you could return to and reread time and time again。

I want their lives！！！ How envious I am of reading the lives of those covered in this book， they have managed to make it work though the majority of them did have the money to do so。。。。。。would have liked to have seen more interior photos though。。。。。it appeared so simple， up sticks and move to the beach however all these beach places have a million dollar price tag， something us middle class workers would not be able to do。 However one can always dream。。。。

Daniel Helft ，

UninterestingThe book was a letdown。 Just pictures of homes that didn’t quite reflect the lives of the surfing community nor its spirit。

Andrew M。 Ayer ，

Perfect book to read on a cold New England morning to think about warm weather again。

I enjoyed the beautiful photos in this book and the inspiring design choices of the homes。

Vikram Rao ，

A great review of surfer homes across the world。 Excellent photography。 If I had to nitpick， I'd say I wonder why there were no homes in San Diego， Europe （France， Spain， Portugal）， or South Africa featured。 But perhaps that leaves room for a sequel。 A great review of surfer homes across the world。 Excellent photography。 If I had to nitpick， I'd say I wonder why there were no homes in San Diego， Europe （France， Spain， Portugal）， or South Africa featured。 But perhaps that leaves room for a sequel。 。。。more

The packaging of this book was really lovely， with the recycled paper feel and cover illustration， but the actual composition was a disappointment。 The homes were stark and bleak and not relaxing at all。 Nearly all of them had white walls， which screams of cheap rental and it was obvious that those rooms that showed books in many of the homes were obviously staged。 Also， the beginning talked about how you don't even need much money to have a surf shack， but then we were shown people who have the The packaging of this book was really lovely， with the recycled paper feel and cover illustration， but the actual composition was a disappointment。 The homes were stark and bleak and not relaxing at all。 Nearly all of them had white walls， which screams of cheap rental and it was obvious that those rooms that showed books in many of the homes were obviously staged。 Also， the beginning talked about how you don't even need much money to have a surf shack， but then we were shown people who have the type of income to "travel to Indonesia on a whim" or "be taught to surf by personal friend Anthony Kiedis when not modeling for the Ford agency"。 I think reading Coastal Living would show you better beach house decorating ideas。 These homes were boring and not attractive at all。 。。。more
