Description
Some places hold memories. Others have opinions.
I didn’t mean to run again.
But when life gets tangled, I untangle it by leaving. And this time, my escape came with strings attached: a five-year-old brother I never signed up to care for, a seaside town I barely remember, and a tattered house on stilts that belongs in Renter’s Hell.
I told myself it was just for the summer. A break. A pause. A way to escape the people I care about but can’t seem to fit with anymore, and the choices I don’t know how to fix.
But the sea doesn’t let you stay distant for long.
Then there’s him. Quiet. Grumpy. Mysterious. The kind of man who doesn’t ask questions, but somehow sees more than he should. I don’t even like talking to him, and yet… here we are. Sharing long silences. Unexpected moments. Maybe even something more.
And as for the house? Let’s just say it has opinions—and it’s not afraid to share them.
Seven Hundred Beachfront is a heartfelt, magical story about learning to stay, letting people in, and discovering that healing doesn’t always come the way you expect it. But when it does, you’ll feel it down to your bones.

700 Beachfront is a quiet, powerful story about healing, connection, and the kind of love that doesn’t come easy—but is worth the work. Legia de Wit brings a subtle touch of magical realism to this emotionally resonant contemporary romance, where even the house has a soul.
Bev is a standout lead—sharp, guarded, and deeply human. Life hasn’t made it easy for her to trust, and watching her come to terms with her role as an older sister to Bobby, while also opening up to her neighbor Jeff, is both frustrating and rewarding in the best possible ways. The relationships in this book feel earned—messy, complicated, and real.
What stayed with me long after finishing was the house itself—Erin. It’s more than a setting; it’s a mirror to Bev’s emotional journey. As Bev begins to heal and accept love, the house begins to change with her. The symbolism is never heavy-handed, but it lands with quiet power.
This is a romance for readers who appreciate emotional depth, flawed characters, and the kind of subtle magic that reflects something truer than realism alone can show. Gritty, graceful, and ultimately hopeful.
