The community of Windsor, on a lush barrier island in Vero Beach, Florida, offers elegant casual seaside living at its best. The sublimely landscaped village, founded by Galen and Hilary Weston, boasts houses by A-list architects and top designers. The exteriors, Anglo-Caribbean in style, feature steeply pitched roofs, open eaves, cantilevered balconies and palm-shaded courtyards and pools. The interiors range in style from contemporary to traditional. A beautiful new book, Beachside, published by Vendome on October 6, with photographs by Jessica Klewicki Glynn, presents a wide array of the houses, organised room by room. From bougainvillea-framed entrances to airy living and dining rooms, to bedrooms and bathrooms with stunning ocean views, it will inspire anyone yearning for a stylish coastal life.

RAISING THE BAR

Of course, no good party – or some might say, no good family gathering, both commonplace at Windsor – is complete without a well-stocked bar. Unsurprisingly, the liquor cabinets, it seems, are always full, with bar tables, carts, and caddies standing at the ready for a for a pre-dinner spritz or end-of-evening nightcap. After all, who knows when someone might drop by?
