At Pura Vida, the view shapes every experience. Located on an oceanfront corner in South Bethany, the home embraces the water at every turn. Windows and multi-slide doors welcome the shoreline. Screened porches stretch the living areas. The pool fits seamlessly into the site plan, as it’ s thoughtfully designed to meet setback requirements. Built-in spaces make beach life easy and natural. Marnie Oursler, founder and CEO of Marnie Custom Homes, sees this project as a perfect example of how her team tackles design and construction today. Every move starts with the site, the client, and the way a family plans to use their home.
“ We designed Pura Vida to maximize unobstructed ocean views to the north and east. The kitchen and screened porch sit on the northeast corner, with the primary suite and a sleeping porch above, so the spaces people use most stay connected to the water. The home was built for a returning client, and they are thrilled with the outcome,” she explains.
This project shows how Marnie Custom Homes has strengthened its delivery process. The company uses a design-build model, uniting design and construction under one streamlined process. As each project grows more complex, Marnie expands her team’ s expertise.“ We built an in-house design team, which has been our biggest change. We now have a lead designer, assistant designers, an architectural designer, a lighting designer, and a design manager. Bringing all that expertise under one roof has significantly strengthened our process.”
As Founder and CEO, Marnie guides the company’ s direction and manages the planning, coordination, and decisions that move projects from concept to completion.
