But as enchanting as the interiors are, it’s the outside of Marble House that truly captured my heart. The grounds are nothing short of magical, with perfectly manicured lawns and gardens that seem to go on forever. And then there are the hydrangeas… oh the hydrangeas! They were in full bloom during my visit, their vibrant petals adding splashes of color that contrasted beautifully with the mansion’s classic, muted tones. There’s something incredibly peaceful about wandering through these gardens, with the scent of the sea in the air and the flowers swaying gently in the breeze.
