For this ode to summer living, noted designer and author Tricia Foley discusses how to create airy and relaxed homes, which capture the essence of the seaside.

A Summer Place reflects the natural charm, understated beauty, and sophistication of the properties of notable tastemakers of Long Island's idyllic seaside community of Bellport-Brookhaven, where Foley resides. This beautifully photographed collection of homes offers inspirational ideas for making your home a personal sanctuary. Featured are modern residences by the sea designed around their water views, nineteenth-century shingle-style cottages that have been restored for today's living, and artist retreats filled with color, pattern, and unique style. Many of these houses, with their screened porches, handcrafted outbuildings, and summer gardens have ideas that translate to seaside living anywhere. Some are decorated with subtle hues of sky blue, white floorboards, and comfortable rustic or contemporary furnishings. The grounds vary from manicured lawns that roll down to the sea to wild landscapes of seagrass, and lovely pergolas dripping with wisteria to working cutting gardens. With sections on summer decorating style, casual outdoor entertaining, seasonal flowers, and weekend guest tips, this book shares several ways to enjoy summer living at home.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Foley’s fresh, sunlit home opens the book; the pages that follow highlight an array of homes in a variety of styles, all of which embody Bellport and Brookhaven’s spirits in different ways." —W MAGAZINE

"Stylist, author, and Living contributor Tricia Foley shares 23 homes in her village of Bellport-Brookhaven, on Long Island, that are as breezy and chic as a great pair of white jeans." —MARTHA STEWART LIVING

"The new book, A Summer Place (Rizzoli), by lifestyle and design author Tricia Foley, shines a light on the charming and understated community of Bellport, Long Island. The book highlights a mix of modern residences in Bellport that have been designed around water views, 19th-century shingle-style cottages restored for today’s living and artist’s retreats filled with color, pattern and unique style, and the homes and grounds of notable creative tastemakers (from gallerists to designers, editors, architects and actors)." —DUJOUR.COM

5.0 out of 5 stars "By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea..."

I live very much inland. In the middle of Iowa, so bless Tricia Foley for inviting me to sea breezes and the lovely homes that fresh breezes caress. There is no place I'd rather be on a summer day than at my friend Trish's. For some time now I have admired her personal style, but more important her graciousness. If Trish is inviting you to tarry with her, do it. You won't be sorry. Obviously these places are in a community of people with the like minds of making homes that are meant to be shared. Oh how we need a summer of freshness, of flowers, gardens, and places to have a picnic on the beach. I have found my retreat. Oh how happy I'll be dwelling in a book with beauty on every page.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tricia Foley never disappoints ! So glad I purchased this book.
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2021

I have absolutely no clue as to why anyone would say anything negative about this book. If you are familiar with Foley's books her latest has the exact same standard of quality as all her others. Beautiful photography with paper that is thick and glossy. There are a nice variety of home styles,however all still echo Foley's classic, clean and simple aesthetic.
For the record I do not know and have never met Tricia Foley. I do know I am very happy that I listened to my own common sense and not other reviewers and purchased this book.
FYI.....She even did the actual book cover itself in a neutral single color for decorators who like to remove dust jackets for a less busy book display.

5.0 out of 5 stars received this book as a gift!
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2021
Ms. Foley's lastest book continues her history of bringing joy and light to her readers. I particularly enjoyed the slightly denser quality of the paper which made the presentation of all the photographs more stunning. The introduction is beautifully written and succeeds in drawing in the reader to continue into the lovely magic of this delightful book. I am so glad a friend selected this item for my birthday gift!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very poor photography
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2021

I am a fan of Tricia Foley, I read her articles and I have bought her previous book "Life Style" which was delightful. This books is not. What is most shocking (and annoying!) is the poor quality of the photographs (particularly the exteriors) which are almost all over-exposed. White is Ms. Foley's favorite color but some pictures of the interiors are so white as to being transparent (See p. 202-205 A study in black and white where it's impossible to even see the furniture! ). I am not impressed with the selection of houses nor the bland text either. Not recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing follow up to a string of wonderful books.
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2021

SUCH a disappointment! Ordered this book prepublication because I have loved all of her books. This, however, seemed like a quick paste up of friends’ houses done either as vanity project fir them or as a quick revenue generator for Ms. Foley. Her last book, Life/Style, was fabulous. This, is being returned.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wanted to Love It.
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2021
I was very excited to get my hands on this new book, in no small part because I am very familiar with the environs of the featured homes. I also LOVED the author's previous Life/Style book -- the overall design concept of an edited, simplified life in the country was appealing, accessible and attainable for so many readers. This new title is indeed about an edited life by the sea (the bay, in actuality, but perhaps "sea" was deemed to sound more monied) but these (mostly second) homes are "edited" for and by the very wealthy. The book flap calls these homeowners "notable tastemakers," which pretty much tells you all you need to know if you are hoping to glean relatable design inspiration on a budget. The references to high-end designer furniture-makers, custom furniture pieces, the owners' prestigious careers and projects, and named artwork got tiresome. As did the repeated studies in transparent, sanatorium-white interiors. Some spaces were so white, they hurt the eyes. Three or four of the homes, including Isabella Rossellini's retreat and the one named "The Oaks" were refreshing, but otherwise these tastemakers mostly have remarkably similar taste (think Benjamin Moore decorator white EVERYWHERE with a $5,000 Knoll womb chair or a mid-century Danish piece for a pop of color with some uber contemporary light fixture and you get the idea). Overall, the book is a vanity piece about the author's friends. I would bet the author needed to keep a tally of compliments to ensure everyone received an equal measure of fawning. On a positive note (and why I am giving three stars), the home exteriors are lovely, the properties exude beauty, the pictures are well-done, and the book is actually heavy - nearly 250 pages. Rizzoli knows how to put together a lovely book.

I am an ardent admirer of Tricia Foley. I have collected all of her books. Her newest book was such a surprise so different from her other books. Many of the homes featured were so contrasting to her clean, simple, and very beautiful style that she is known of.
