Outdoor Living & Decks – Where Ocean Breezes Meet Relaxation

When people imagine the perfect beach vacation, they often dream of sipping coffee with ocean views, basking in golden sunrises, or enjoying laughter-filled evenings under the stars. At SoundWaves, those dreams come alive. With two spacious levels of ocean-facing decks, a patio lounge, and an outdoor bar area, the home is designed for you to live outside as much as inside—fully immersed in the beauty of Crystal Beach.

Two-Level Oceanview Decks

The star attraction of SoundWaves’ outdoor spaces are the two expansive decks, both with front-row views of the Gulf.

Upper Deck:
The perfect spot for morning coffee or a quiet moment with a book. From here, you can watch the sun rise above the horizon in a dazzling mix of orange, pink, and gold, casting its reflection across the waves. Pelicans often glide by in long, graceful formations—sometimes in groups of 20 or more—adding to the peaceful rhythm of the morning. At night, the upper deck becomes a tranquil retreat for stargazing, thanks to the minimal light pollution in the Crystal Beach community.

Lower Deck:
Designed for socializing, the lower level offers shaded seating, closer access to the patio, and an easy flow to the outdoor bar and game areas. It’s perfect for afternoons spent relaxing with a drink, or evenings catching the last rays of sunlight before heading down to the beach.

No matter the time of day, both decks provide the soothing soundtrack of the waves and refreshing sea breezes that make beach living so special.

Patio Lounge & Bar Area

Just below the house, the patio and outdoor bar area serve as the heart of outdoor gatherings. This space offers:

Plenty of comfortable seating for the entire group.

A bar with stools, perfect for sipping cocktails or mocktails while enjoying the Gulf breeze.

A setup for outdoor movie nights, where you can project a film under the stars.

Cornhole boards and games, adding a playful element to your evenings outside.

The patio is where laughter carries into the night, where families gather after a day at the beach, and where unforgettable vacation stories unfold.

Grilling & Outdoor Dining

For those who love to cook, the outdoor area includes a grill, perfect for everything from burgers and steaks to fresh Gulf seafood. Pair it with the fully stocked kitchen inside, and you’ll have no trouble preparing meals that feed a crowd. Imagine grilling shrimp skewers while the kids play cornhole nearby, then gathering everyone on the deck for a family-style dinner with ocean views.

The Sounds of the Surf

One of the things guests love most about SoundWaves is that from the decks and patio, you can hear the waves rolling onto shore. This natural soundtrack sets the mood for relaxation—whether you’re napping in the shade, enjoying a drink, or simply soaking in the atmosphere.

Stargazing & Nighttime Magic

When the sun sets, SoundWaves offers an outdoor experience like no other. Crystal Beach has minimal streetlights, which means the night sky is alive with stars. Step out onto the deck, look up, and you’ll see a breathtaking canopy of constellations. On clear nights, the Milky Way is visible, and shooting stars aren’t uncommon. Combine this with the distant sound of the surf, and you’ll understand why so many guests say the evenings at SoundWaves are pure magic.

Close to the Beach, Yet Peacefully Private

The beauty of the outdoor living at SoundWaves is that it’s just 200 steps from the Gulf, yet it feels like its own private retreat. You can enjoy the energy of beach life during the day, then retreat back to your decks and patio for a more intimate, relaxing vibe. It’s the best of both worlds—close to the action, but far enough to enjoy peace and quiet whenever you want it.

Every Hour Has Its Charm

Morning: Fresh coffee, golden sunrise, pelicans in flight.

Afternoon: Lounging on the deck, cornhole tournaments, cold drinks at the bar.

Evening: Grilled dinners, glowing sunsets, laughter with friends.

Night: Stargazing, quiet conversation, the lull of the waves.

At SoundWaves, every part of the day feels richer when experienced outdoors.
