The soft swish and sway of sea oats atop the dune as you sit in your favorite rocker, a cool ocean breeze caressing your shirt, and all the stars in the sky winking at you over the Atlantic Ocean.

Vaulted beamed ceilings, soft sea-glass walls, and wide-plank flooring, wainscoting set on a diagonal, set the stage.

Step up to the loft's deck, pull up a rocking chair, and take in the Independence Day fireworks painting the sky above Southport's Harbor. From the front of the home, expansive decks and windows capture sweeping views of Southport Harbor and the Intracoastal Waterway, a rare double-water vantage few Caswell homes can offer.
