Bay Views

At the top of the stairs on the second level is the great room. Walking into the room is like arriving at a tropical lodge. Three sets of French doors look directly out over the clear waters of the Florida Bay. Just open the doors to enjoy the warm, tropical breezes.

Interior designer Linda Woodrum says she chose items to take full advantage of the view. "There are large views of water, so we used tropical foliage, dark floors, white walls, lots of wicker and cane, shells, matchstick blinds and flowing white linen drapes."
