“Surf Shack: Laid-Back Living by the Water” is an absolute gem!
From the very first page, I was captivated by the stunning photography and the inspiring stories of coastal living. Nina Freudenberger has beautifully captured the essence of the surf lifestyle, showcasing a range of homes that embody a perfect blend of relaxation, creativity, and connection to the ocean. The book takes you on a visual journey through some of the most unique and inviting surf shacks around the world, from Malibu to the Rockaways, and even as far as Japan and Australia. Each home featured is a testament to the laid-back, carefree vibe that surfers cherish, and the vibrant design details are truly inspiring. What I loved most about this book is how it goes beyond just showcasing beautiful interiors. It dives into the lives of the homeowners, sharing their stories and passions, and giving a glimpse into how they have created spaces that reflect their love for the ocean and the surfing lifestyle. If you have a love for the sea, a passion for design, or simply enjoy dreaming about a more relaxed way of living, this book is a must-read. It’s not just a book, but an experience that transports you to serene beaches and cozy coastal retreats. Highly recommended!

Obsessed
I am obsessed with interior design, surfing, and beach vibes. This book is the amalgamation of all three! I saw this book in a coffee shop when I was in Big Sur on a roadtrip with my friend, and I wanted it SO bad but I couldn't justify the purchase. Then, months later I was still thinking about the book and decided to treat myself because why not. I'm so glad I did, this is my main coffee table book and I love looking through to get inspiration on surfing, interior design and real estate. It also reminds me to work on my goals because having a house like this IS my goal, and I know one day I'll get there. Love it!

Great for Gifting or Display
This hardback book is large and weighty. The pages are filled with gorgeous images of surf shack/coastal/beachy homes. I bought it for inspiration for a vacation home, but its going to be beautiful as a coffee table book in the home as well. Highly recommend for the price.

Gorgeous
This book looks gorgeous on the coffee table - but it’s what’s inside that caught my heart. I love the rustic, relaxed and coastal interior design and style of each and every feature home! The photos make me happy and reading it has got my creative juices flowing!
