Now that the 2010 Coastal Living Magazine Ultimate Beach House is open to the public, everyone can walk through it and completely experience the idea home. Nonetheless, we felt it necessary to offer our loyal Seabrook homeowners the exclusive opportunity to tour the idea house before everyone else. The opening of the Ultimate Beach House also served as an occasion to try and gather the whole Seabrook family in one place – a great way to meet your new neighbors.

On the eve of July 16 – the official opening day of the Ultimate Beach House – Seabrook welcomed over 150 homeowners and guests for a special celebratory dinner and an exclusive tour of the beach home. Many of you joined us on the red carpet for a casual meet and greet to celebrate this important milestone in Seabrook’s history. Everyone had a chance to walk around the idea house, meet with the Coastal Living Magazine and Seabrook teams behind the project, and catch up on all things coastal.

Stephen Poulakos, director of town development whom you all know well and Nicole Hendrick, Coastal Living Magazine’s idea home manager took the stage for the celebratory speech during dinner. They used the opportunity to recognize everyone’s effort and hard work toward bringing the Ultimate Beach House not only to the Washington coast, but also within walking distance from your home at Seabrook.

We were pleased that most of you were able to to come to the party and celebrate with us! In case you weren’t able to make it, let this short recap and the pictures below illustrate the fun atmosphere our Seabrook family created. Hopefully, you will find the time this summer or fall to head down to Seabrook and tour the Ultimate Beach House. You also have the chance to be the host of the idea house together with one of our homeowners, Anne Simpson.
