56 Sea Castle Aly

Some homes are admired from afar. Others are felt through motion, light, and quiet moments that unfold slowly over time. And then there are homes that seem to breathe with you, shifting gently from morning to evening as though the architecture itself were alive.
At 56 Sea Castle Aly, architecture, craftsmanship, and atmosphere converge to create a residence that is at once deeply refined and profoundly human. Designed by Khoury Vogt Architects, constructed with precision by Gulfview Construction, and curated by Kate Marker Interiors, this home represents a rare synthesis of disciplined architecture and soulful livability in the heart of Alys Beach. Rising gracefully across four levels, the sculptural massing and hand-shaped plaster exterior feel unmistakably Alys--timeless, grounded, and intentional. Octagonal apertures, recessed balconies, and lantern-lit entries lend a quiet romance that reveals itself slowly over time. Positioned on Sea Castle Aly in Phase III, the residence enjoys a coveted second-tier setting offering both privacy and unexpectedly expansive Gulf views framed by preserved sightlines few homes can claim.
Inside, Venetian plaster walls, white oak millwork, and honed stone surfaces create a soft, neutral canvas where light becomes a design element of its own. Sunlight filters through thoughtfully placed windows, animating the interiors and allowing shadow and texture to shift throughout the day. The result is serene, layered, and effortlessly livable.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen is sculptural yet welcoming, anchored by a fluted island, refined brass fittings, and tailored cabinetry that reads more like fine furniture than utility. It opens seamlessly to surrounding living spaces, inviting everything from quiet mornings to evenings that unfold naturally from indoors to out.
Privately positioned with forever unobstructed Gulf views, the primary suite captures a rare and protected view corridor to the horizon between two Gulf-front residences. Southern exposure fills the space with dancing light, amplified by organic materials and plaster finishes that soften the glow. A dedicated seating area encourages stillness, creating a retreat that feels restorative and calm.
Outdoor living is layered and intentional. The courtyard pool creates a tranquil setting with multiple water features adding gentle movement and calm. Above, the rooftop terrace offers an outdoor fireplace and sweeping Gulf views across the community's iconic architecture toward the horizon.
Complete with garage parking, multiple outdoor living areas, and finely executed construction throughout, every element reflects a commitment to quality without excess and beauty without pretense. This is not a home that demands attention. It rewards it.
Defined by atmosphere, authorship, and intention, 56 Sea Castle Aly offers an opportunity to experience Alys Beach at its most nuanced and enduring.
