"...feels like you're actually strolling around Miami's eclectic and exclusive Coconut Grove neighborhood. Most importantly though, Beth's insightful writing and colorful photos celebrate a life at the beach that means more than high-rise condos and water parks." ~Southern Living"Coconut Grove should be an island instead of a neighborhood, and Beth Dunlop'sThe Tropical Cottage: At Home in Coconut Grovecaptures the place in all its wayward but delightful eccentricity. She writes specifically but evocatively. Her new book divides the houses by style Mediterranean, Arts and Crafts, Bahamian and so forth. As with the varying styles, the decorations are all over the place, from colorful blasts of the contemporary, to quietly replicating the style of the surrounding house.
