welcome to a preview of the newly redesigned Ocean Home magazine!

In the following slides you will see examples of the way in which future pages of Ocean Home will appear. The text on each of the following pages is for display purposes only and does not reflect actual stories. These slides are merely to showcase how the magazine will appear once it is put into actual pro-duction. Over the past few weeks we have painstak-ingly poured over the entire book, improving upon the magazine’s strengths as well as adding consider-able more content and advertising opportunities. In addition, we broke the front of the book into three distinct sections: Insider, Shelter, and Traveler. These pages will focus on the people, places, and things that make luxurious oceanfront living so desirable and glamorous. Each issue of Ocean Home will also contain three feature stories uninterrupted by advertise-ments in the main content well of the magazine.

In short, the newly redesigned Ocean Home magazine puts the luxurious life-style of oceanfront living into the palms of your hands. From high-end develop-ments in the Caribbean to private beachfront estates in Molokai, Ocean Home magazine not only unveils the dream homes of the world’s wealthiest real estate investors, but also reveals the best travel destinations, the top designs for your ocean home inside and out, and interviews the key players in the next generation of luxury oceanfront living. We hope you enjoy the new look of Ocean Home and welcome any feedback you have at oceanhomemag.com. —Jack Morris, Editor

This contemporary estate offers expansive walls of glass that look out onto the sands of Southern California’s Gold Coast. A gated driveway lined with coral and eucalyptus trees alongside a clay tennis court with lights leads to this 5,900-square-foot home and guest cottage.
