You Can Rent This Insane Mansion From Season Two of "Outer Banks"
Season two of Outer Banks premiered on Netflix today—and, just like the first season, this one features yet another spectacular home owned by the Cameron family.
While last season featured the Outer Banks home of the Camerons, we now get to see their vacation abode in the Bahamas: a spectacular waterfront mansion with an infinity pool. To learn how this dwelling came to be a part of the show, House Beautiful spoke to the series’ set decorator, Missy Ricker, and production designer, Daniel Novotny.
Although we are led to believe that the Camerons’ vacation home is located in the Bahamas, it’s actually in Barbados in real life—and it’s known as Cove Spring House. Best of all, you can rent this property through its website, which can be found here.
So, how was Cove Spring House chosen as a filming location? “Two of our writers, Josh Pate and Shannon Burke, actually hired a local location scout in Barbados to find the location, and they saw the house and fell in love with it!,” Ricker tells House Beautiful.
And this might not be the first time you've heard of this impressive mansion: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have stayed here, as have Simon Cowell and Elton John.
When it came to designing the interiors of Cove Spring House, Ricker says “the bones of the house were already gorgeous—lovely furnishings with a clean and minimal look and palette.” The team then brought in additional decor, including family photos of the Camerons, and they swapped artwork to better fit the characters' style. “I worked with several local contacts to find local artists and rented their original pieces to hang in the house which included paintings, drawings and even some ceramic sculpture,” Ricker adds.
As for how this home differs from the Camerons’ main residence in the Outer Banks, Novotny says, “The home in the Outer Banks—Lowndes Grove—is an authentic historical plantation from the 1700s,” whereas “the home in Barbados is a new construction, with modern engineering to allow for larger rooms, larger windows, and better views.”
Ricker adds that the OBX residence is “a stately waterfront estate with architectural details and decorated in the Adamesque style with cornices,” while the Bahamas abode “reflects more of the laid-back natural surroundings of the Carribean, from the large windows and French doors leading out to a coral cliff-top patio that overlooks the Caribbean sea,” in addition to “the airy and spacious main floor rooms, allowing the natural light to bounce throughout the home.”
