Another Day in Paradise! ~ Beach Retreat!

I just finished painting our good friend’s beach house for them, called Another Day in Paradise (ADIP).  It is located in the Four Seasons community of Duck, NC.  Duck is one of our favorite getaways and staying at ADIP has been a real treat.  Right around the corner from ADIP is the Red Sky Café, Road House Grill, Blue Point, Pizzazz Pizza, Duck Donuts etc…  Half of our enjoyment on our beach retreats is eating out!

ADIP is a number of blocks from the beach, great for morning walks down to the beach and back.  We head on down the path just to the left of the house and end up on a magnificent beach, never crowded. The Four Seasons community has a beautiful clubhouse featuring an indoor swimming pool, workout room, game room and party room.  Outdoor tennis courts and a full length basketball court are also part of the complex.  ADIP of course has its own pool and hot tub. 

Whenever we get a chance to go, we can’t believe how someplace so close can feel so much like a distant getaway.  It never takes long to unwind.  We love it there.  You can enjoy it too since ADIP is a rental property.  You can also own it if you’re looking for a second home, as it is on the market. :-( 

We’ve enjoyed our time there so much that painting Another Day in Paradise was fun.  The many bright, colorful beach homes in Duck with their creative multi-level architectural elements appeal to me aesthetically.

Now that my painting is done, I can’t help but wonder, “which way to the beach”?  :-)
