About the Book

Cottages near the water tend to be snug and modest, with exteriors painted in sun-reflecting whites, nautical blues, or playful colors. The interiors of these houses likewise avoid formality in favor of a casual approach.
Waterside Cottages showcases fourteen romantic waterside havens, from tidy New England beach cottages to bright tropical bungalows to a boathouse on the steep pine-studded banks of Michigan's Kalamazoo River.
Cozy cottages from coast to coast
