Oversized Southern yellow pine piers double as archways that frame the ground-level patio area, where dining and relaxation hold equal court.

A pine-straw-covered bed of native plantings and seagrasses provide a subtle screen of privacy without impeding marsh views.

All-weather woven chairs cozy up to a glass-topped table, ideal for both formal dinners or a table surface to focus on family craft projects.

A makeshift chandelier of zinc hexagon-shaped lanterns illuminates the table top. The romance of candlelight elevates the dining experience in this casual gathering area.
