Our family house was custom built, and with loving attention to upkeep and upgrades, is new all the time. Beach Parfait is perfect for our family, and we're sure you will love it, too.
Parfait means perfect in French, and you will see French and Gullah influences in the decor and art. One of our dear family friends is a French artist from Provence. We love displaying her work, as well as other original works.
We are a bi-coastal family, and Beach Parfait is the go-to place for us and our friends to reconnect. Here we have celebrated weddings (daughter Carolyn was married on the beach at the end of our street), birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, college reunions, new babies, you name it. Our family now includes four grandchildren, and we enjoy taking them to the beach, pool, and playground, riding scooters and bikes, playing bocce and cornhole in the large side yard, and building memories. Ellie, the oldest, even made up a song for the long, long ride from her house to Beach Parfait (two hours, but to her it seems to take an eternity to get there!).
The third floor great room is our gathering place. We all like to cook, and the kitchen is well-equipped. We look forward to steamer pots and fish on the grill as we drive to the beach. Check out the wave pattern in the backsplash tile, and pieces of beach glass embedded in the recycled quartz countertops.
We are all about comfort, and have paid special attention to the quality of lighting, beds and seating. We recently added a pergola on the ocean side deck, and it is another great gathering place. Cozy up on the massive sectional sofa for games or streaming TV.
We love to travel to foreign destinations, but what we love best is to come home to Beach Parfait. We hope you will come home to Beach Parfait, too.
