Beach-house Stories

After a picture-perfect life in New York City shatters with one unexpected breakup, seventeen-year-old Madeline Brooks does the only thing she can think of-escape. With her senior year looming in the fall, Madeline chooses to spend the summer at her father's beach house on Anna Maria Island, hoping salt air and quiet mornings by the water will help her forget the boy who broke her heart. But Florida isn't just sunshine and stillness. It's late-night bonfires, endless waves, and a certain sun-bleached surfer who's impossible to ignore. As the days grow longer and the sunsets more golden, Madeline begins to realize that maybe heartbreak isn't the end of her story. Maybe it's just the beginning. Because sometimes, when you stop chasing what you lost, you find something even better waiting in the tide. ⚠️‼️THIS IS WRITTEN ON WATTPAD AND ONLY WATTPAD‼️⚠️

Elliet Watson is finally turning eighteen - and this summer was supposed to be familiar. The same shared beach house in Santa Monica. The same long rides. The same private stretch of sand she's grown up on with the Lockwood brothers. Timothy is safe. Sweet. Her best friend. The boy who shares her age, her thoughts, and the comfort of never pushing too far. Vincent is the opposite. Unreachable. Cold. A professional jackass who challenges her at every turn. He's the one person who refuses to let her stay comfortable - and the one person she can't stop trying to understand. With four words, they define each other: They challenge each other. Alice Lockwood has always been a second mother to Elliet, her mother Becca Watson's closest friend. The house is filled with history and the illusion that nothing ever changes - until this summer. Because small moments don't stay small. Lines blur. Feelings surface. And Elliet is forced to choose between the safety she's always known and the challenge she's never been able to resist. Which team are you on? Safe... or challenging?

Elizabeth ("Libby") Montgomery has spent her summers basking in Edisto Beach, South Carolina for as long as she can remember. Her and her family, who stay in a beautiful beach house during the warmest months of the year, are always accompanied by their beloved family friends who rent the house next door: The Hansons. Libby has practically grown up with the Hansons' son of the same age, Cole. Summers full of sandcastle wars, golf cart rides, and strawberry ice cream cones have been a childhood constant that she always looks forward to. Everything has always been perfectly the same. At least it had been up until the summer after Libby turned 17. That summer, Libby came to the reality of the strange feelings she had battled with for the last couple of years. She had fallen in love with Cole Hanson. At age 18, Libby has prepared to make her last summer with Cole before college perfect. But will her plans of love confessions and moonlit walks on the beach come crashing down when Cole brings along his new girlfriend?

All she remembered was the tender blue of his eyes and how the ocean reminded her painfully of them, causing her to automatically recoil away from anyone. Will Sara ever rebound after this tragedy? Or will the rest of her summer instantly plummet with her?
