The Houses at the Beach in NC are amazing.
Some houses have 10 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms and look like small hotels. Entire families- extended families come and stay in these houses together for the week ~ (brave souls)
I love the names of the houses, we have seen Chocolate Thunder, Granted Wish, Marine Retreat (with the Marine's emblem) , Bikini Bottom (with a picture of Sponge Bob) and so on. Here is my absolute hands down favorite!
The Schlitz Carlton - I love it! The picture didn't turn out so well because I was on my bike and didn't want to trespass. Trespassing down here is serious business, shoot first and then ask questions. Disclaimer-I love the South and all that goes along with it!I found a house that would be perfect for the Boho family~ but is it not for sale for rent.
(Tried to post a picture but Blogger was not cooperating)
So I decided that I (Ms. Independent) need to buy a house down here, because I am "off" (not really) in the summer. Rock Star Hubby could "commute" (10 hours) to visit us. He started laughing when I said the word commute.
Here is what I found that I (Ms. Independent) could afford ~A cute little house (read:trailer)
I love the address: 8308 Poor Mans Condo Rd -yes that is the REAL ADDRESS
I have it on good authority that beach trailers are all the rage in Montauk. An article in this month's Vanity Fair** said the same. Rock Star Hubby reminded me that my house (trailer) would not be in Montauk, is not an Airstream, and was a trailer. He couldn't see past the Trailer part. Plus The Boy said when he was older he would not bring his friends to my"house". So for now there is no beach house/trailer in my future, oh well! xoox, B
p.s. Trailer does not equal Boho
From the Vanity Fair Article:
Surfers have always flocked to Montauk’s Ditch Plains beach, but now, along with nationally known surfing veterans like Joel Tudor and Herbie Fletcher, you’re likely to see Schnabel, Lindemann, or activist hedge-funder Daniel S. Loeb, who paid $45 million for a penthouse apartment at newly built 15 Central Park West earlier this year. Some of the hottest real estate is in the beachfront trailer park. Singer Jimmy Buffett reportedly offered $430,000 for a trailer not long ago; Paul Morrissey has decamped here from Eothen. “The status symbol is to have a double-wide and a double lot,” Golden explains. “It’s where the elite meet.” Even trailer rentals are climbing: $35,000 for the season is about average.

LOL!! I love the address of the trailer!
You're one up on me. When I tried to talk my husband into a summer home, he said he would build me a shed in the backyard ~ not exactly the beach front get away I was envisioning!
The small house is so cute (is that really it's address - no way!)! But for an even cheaper option - would a bedouin (spelling? :)) tent be more boho? thank you for asking about Caspar nad the sleeping - it's so kind of you - after the controlled crying last sunday night, he cried once on the monday pm, we didn't get up, fell back asleep and so did he! Since thne, we've cut right back on his naps during the day adn ct out te overstimulating activities in the evening, and (touch wood) he has slept through since then! But I've hesitated to tell anyone in case I tempt fate - REALLY don't want him to wakt tonight, as it's my driving test tomorrow morning!!
