It’s no secret: Home buyers love the cottage look. Board-and-batten siding, shiplap trim, beadboard wallls, and barn doors are popular with consumers across the country. Thanks in part to TV shows like HGTV’s hit “Fixer Upper,” American homeowners can’t get enough of the downhome-but-chic look that modern cottages provide.

Here are four projects the exemplify the cottage lifestyle and–even better–they’re located near the ocean.
