The HGTV Dream Home designers took as much care with the outside of this house as they did with the indoor areas. The bright, tropical colors reflect the beauty of the blue waters and green vegetation surrounding the home.

The landscaping has been carefully chosen to reflect the plants native to Southern Florida and the Caribbean. Lush tropical plants like coconut palm trees, hibiscus, beach sunflower, and bird of paradise contribute to the overall charm and serenity of this location.

Gracious porches allow the residents to enjoy their gorgeous surroundings by entertaining guests while surrounded by the stunning view of the Florida Bay or simply taking a nap or reading a book on one of the stylish outdoor chaise lounges.

The tall elegance of the 2008 Dream Home perfectly frames the view of the ocean, adding to the overall charm of the location.
