Alternate Shore
A Mullica Hill, NJ family saves time and avoids the shore traffic with their “Alternate Shore” home
This custom outdoor living space is a time-saving gathering place for family and friends—a “shore alternative” when schedules preclude a trip to the Jersey Shore. The landscaped pool and spa fit the compact suburban backyard, with room for living, entertaining, swimming and relaxing with family and friends.
Project Details
You don’t need to endure a summer drive to the shore to enjoy life in an outdoor WaterSpace. This Mullica Hill family can walk onto the elevated and screened living and dining area attached to their house and enjoy the view of their landscaped pool and spa below. The large dining and living area includes a stone fireplace with large screen TV. An open-air deck and kitchen are located next to the living area. Four steps below is the travertine tile patio surrounding a luxury vinyl pool with an attached spa, lounge chairs, fire pit, and a wall of falling water.

"We live outdoors from spring through fall. It’s our alternative to a shore house. The kids don’t have time for summer weeks or weekends at the shore. They love that they can invite more friends to come here and do it more often. And we all enjoy watching big games on TV."Homeowner
