Cedar by the Sea~Retraite familiale~Piscine chauffée, Sauna

Cedar by the Sea is a beautiful mid-century beach house set high in the treetops of Normanville. Just minutes from the beach, it feels quietly tucked away in nature - surrounded by greenery, open sky, and sweeping views through the canopy out to the horizon. The sunsets here are something you naturally pause for… soft, golden, and best taken slowly.

Upstairs is the heart of the home. An open-plan living, dining and kitchen space sits above the trees and flows straight out onto an elevated deck looking toward the ocean. It’s a calm, easy space - made for slow mornings, long meals, and evenings that naturally stretch into sunset without trying.

Downstairs is where everything softens further. All four bedrooms are on this level, creating a quiet, grounded retreat away from the shared living space. Two front rooms open directly onto a wide deck overlooking lush, established gardens that feel private and deeply held. It’s green, still, and restorative - a true escape within the escape.

Outside is where Cedar really comes into its own.

A heated plunge pool sits quietly in the garden, at an enjoyable 30 degrees all year round. A firepit invites long evenings under the stars. And the space naturally opens up for everyone in their own way - kids moving freely between the playground, cubby house, monkey bars and mud kitchen, while adults ease into the slower rhythm the property creates without effort.

After a morning at Normanville Beach, the outdoor shower and sauna become part of the ritual - simple, grounding moments that make the day feel complete in the best way.

The home sleeps families, groups of friends, couples, and dog-friendly stays - with space to gather, unwind, and fully switch off. The four bedrooms include a king master with ensuite, two queen rooms, and a fourth room with a queen plus single bunk. A second bathroom and separate laundry downstairs make longer stays easy and comfortable.

Cedar by the Sea is more than a house - it’s a backdrop for memories, laughter, and sunsets that linger long after you’ve gone.
