When it comes to building a custom home on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, one of the most requested features we hear from homeowners is a functional and inviting outdoor living space. At Coastal Homes LLC, we believe the back porch should be more than just a concrete slab — it should feel like a natural extension of your home.
This recently completed back porch is a perfect example of our commitment to craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and attention to detail.
A Custom Outdoor Fireplace Built for Real Southern Living
Nothing elevates an outdoor space quite like a well-designed fireplace. This home features a fully bricked outdoor fireplace with a hand-built mantle, giving the porch both warmth and personality. Whether it’s cool fall nights on the Gulf Coast or hosting friends during football season, this space is designed to be enjoyed year-round.
Hand-Laid Tongue & Groove Ceiling for a Luxury Finish
One of the standout features in this porch is the dark-stained tongue-and-groove ceiling. Every board is hand-laid by our team, creating a high-end, timeless look that you don’t find in mass-produced homes. The ceiling adds depth, warmth, and that rich Southern character Coastal Homes is known for.
Recessed lighting and a large outdoor fan complete the space, giving the porch excellent airflow and usability in every season.
A Spacious Covered Patio Designed for Entertaining
This porch offers generous covered space, giving homeowners the flexibility to set up outdoor seating, dining, or even a TV area by the fireplace. With a smooth concrete finish and clean lines, it’s both low-maintenance and highly functional.
A Backyard Framed by Mississippi Oak Trees
The outdoor space flows naturally into a beautiful yard shaded by mature oak trees — one of the most iconic and beloved features of living along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The trees bring shade, charm, and that unmistakable Southern feel to the entire property.
