With summer on the horizon, long, sun-soaked days and breezy evenings are just around the corner. At 101 Hamilton Lane, there's no better way to soak it all in than by gathering with friends on the back porch with ice-cold drinks in hand, the grill sizzling nearby, and the sky painted in hues of pink and orange—each moment is a reminder that the best memories are made right here, surrounded by good company and the perfect waterfront view.
We partnered with downtown Morehead City shop, Backshore Living, to stage 101 Hamilton Lane's back porch to perfectly take in the views surrounded by friends and family. The gorgeous green and blue color scheme was the ideal complement to the crystal blue water and lush green landscaping.
Want to host your own summer soiree? Here are FOUR tips to hosting in your backyard this season when you make 101 Hamilton Lane home:
1. Create a Relaxing Atmosphere – String lights, lanterns, outdoor plants and pillows make for a cozy (and glowy!) vibe as the sun sets. Plus, if it gets chilly this spring as the sun goes down, a beautiful blanket from Backshore Living can help keep your guests warm!
2. Keep It Cool – Whether it's providing plenty of shade with an umbrella, setting up fans, or offering refreshing drinks, keeping your guests comfortable in the heat is key. We adore these blue acrylic wine glasses that look like crystal in the sunlight, but are sturdy enough to be outside in the elements!
3. Have Fun Activities – Whether it's lawn games or a fire pit for s'mores in the backyard, having a few entertainment options will keep guests engaged (and the incredible water views from 101 Hamilton Lane are the perfect gaming backdrop!).
4. Serve Light & Fresh Food – Opt for summer-friendly dishes from nearby hot spots like shrimp cocktail from Clyde Phillips Seafood Market or a sushi spread from Bamboo Asian House — both less than 20 minutes away!
