For our second stop in the Cocktails & Casas series, we’re headed seaside—where 1980s bones meet fresh coastal modernism in a home designed for salt air, soft light, and sunset cocktails.

🏡 Sea Level

Once a dated beachfront with choppy layouts and heavy details, Sea Level was reimagined into a seamless, open, and breezy modern beach house. With interiors by Nathan Turner, the transformation celebrates ocean living: cool greens and deep blues flow from the sea right into the rooms, while walls open wide to let in the horizon.

The highlight? A circular rotunda bar—the heart of the home and the ultimate place to mix a drink, entertain friends, or just watch the tide roll in.

This is a house that feels like an exhale. Airy but grounded, refined but casual, it’s the embodiment of California coastal ease.

🍸 The Coastal Collins

To complement Sea Level’s fresh and elegant vibe, we’re pairing it with a Coastal Collins—a beachy riff on the Tom Collins, infused with cucumber, basil, and a hint of sea salt.

Why it works:

It’s citrusy, botanical, and crisp—like a breeze off the ocean. Just like the house, this cocktail is clean and modern with a classic foundation, and every sip feels like vacation.
