We’ve Found the Cure for Winter Blues in These 6 Beautiful Beach Homes

Will winter ever end? Given the choice, we’d always opt for “Endless Summer” over ceaseless, bone-chilling temps any day. However, a recent ray of sunshine poked through our cloudy mood when we uncovered a few of the dreamiest beach homes currently on the market.

These beach getaways could work as a second residence to escape the winter months, or as investment property when you’re trapped in less-than-ideal locales.

Whether you prefer the tropical shores of Hawaii or the Gulf Coast on the mainland, take a break and imagine a life with you in one of these warm-weather retreats. Grab a mai tai and a large beach towel, and check ’em out.
