Kitchen Upgrades for a Beach Condo

A beach condo can be the ultimate respite — a place to get away with family and friends, escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and kick back with a fruity drink in hand.

Beach condos are often part-time homes, only used on the weekends or at special times of the year. In other cases, a beach condo might be a full-time home where every day is a day at the beach.

Either way, beach condos are all about letting the vibes of oceanfront living into the energy of the home. This holds true even down to the last details, such as those found in the kitchen.

For those wishing to add a fresh look to their beach condo kitchen, this guide will cover all the best options for swapping out fixtures, adding a fresh coat of paint, and bringing new life into a condo by the beach.

Pouring a Fresh Take With a New Faucet

Sometimes, even the simplest upgrades can deliver a powerful punch of fresh design to the kitchen. For a beach condo, swapping out an outdated kitchen faucet can be both a stylistic upgrade and a functional one. There are countless options to choose from, but the following two faucets are top picks for beach condos.

The Heritage Pull-Down Faucet

The Heritage two-hole deck mount pull-down faucet is a perfect blend of classical design and modernity. The faucet features two handles with traditional cross-handle knobs. This faucet is a great choice for those who plan to host family and friends at their beachside condo. The high arching spout makes it easy to clean large pots and pans, and the dual-function pull-down sprayer makes cleanup a breeze.

The Continental Pull-Down Sprayer

The Continental is a single-handle, one-hole deck-mount faucet with a pull-down sprayer. This sleek faucet features a futuristic utopia design with a curved spout and ergonomic levers. Not only is this faucet modern in style, but it's also modern in design. The tall, arching spout swivels with ease, and the pull-down sprayer delivers hefty water pressure capable of cleaning off dishes. This is a great choice for an updated beach condo kitchen. It's the perfect accompaniment when switching to a modern, minimalist design.

Make Way for the Dishes With an Updated Sink

Half the fun of having a beach condo is hosting others. After all, who doesn't want to book a visit to the beach? To make entertaining more enjoyable, a quick kitchen update that offers the utmost convenience is swapping out an old sink for something new. Not only that, but modern sinks feature stunning designs, allowing condo owners to quickly renovate the kitchen with a simple fixture change.

The Loft

During meal prep, use the large basins to keep fresh fruits and veggies away from the day's fresh seafood catch. The Loft is an ideal sink for those who love to entertain.

The Towne

The Towne is a 33-inch white cast iron undermount single bowl kitchen sink. This sink provides ultimate sophistication and the white cast iron pairs well with beach-themed designs. The single bowl makes it easy to wash large dishes and is the perfect place to clean and prepare fresh fish. With a high-gloss enamel, the sink offers a polished look that will immediately add new vibrancy to the kitchen.

Kitchen Accessories to Complement Beach Life

After a day at the beach, coming back to a kitchen equipped with the best accessories can make the evening all the more enjoyable. Beach condo kitchens can benefit from the following accessory upgrades.

Bar Prep Area

What's better than whipping up a tasty drink after a hot day in the sun? For those who love to gather with guests over a refreshing beverage, adding a bar sink and bar prep faucet can be the perfect beach condo upgrade. This frees up the kitchen space for meal prep while providing a dedicated area for a fully stocked beach condo bar.

Water Filtration

For those who don't spend the entire year at their beach condo, transitioning from the water back home to the water by the beach isn't always a favorite part of the trip. Often, condos located in beachfront areas aren't known for their delicious, fresh mineral water. Adding a permanent water filtration system to the kitchen sink can make the local water source more palatable. With fresh water on demand, everyone can fill up their water bottles for a day at the beach.

Bar Seating

For smaller beach condos, there may not be much dining space available. Dining areas often only have enough room for a four to six-person dining room table. To help expand the amount of entertainment space available, consider adding bar seating to the kitchen. A few bar stools and place settings can transform the kitchen into a bonus dining area. This can be the perfect place for a morning cup of coffee, a quick afternoon snack between waves, or extra settings for evening guests.

A Fresh Coat of Paint

One of the easiest ways to give a beach condo kitchen a quick facelift is with a fresh coat of paint. Beach condos tend to feature natural and calming hues. Ocean blues, sea foam greens, sandy browns, and contrasts of white are all great options for a beachside kitchen. For a bold pop of color, consider a brilliant turquoise or colorful coral pink.
