seaside villas

Beach luxury homes

Seaside villas are upscale vacation homes located near the ocean, typically offering views of the water and easy beach access.

The phrase evokes Mediterranean or tropical luxury—whitewashed walls, terraces, proximity to waves: We rented a seaside villa in Santorini for the honeymoon.

Real estate listings use the term liberally, sometimes for properties that barely qualify as either seaside or villa.
