All of the magnificent coastal homes offer the ultimate in luxury, amenities, acreage and square footage. The chosen homes not only have the best architectural, interior and landscape designs, but are also located in the most beautiful and sought-after waterfront neighborhoods in the United States.

"Our team of editors reached out to thousands of top luxury realtors for the finest oceanfront listings, and the result is a unique collection of exclusive retreats from Hawaii to the Hamptons," says Ocean Home editor Andrew Conway.

This year's list spans 11 states from California to Connecticut and the top-priced homes come in at just under $100 million - one listed by Sotheby's Southampton Brokerage and the other listed by The Corcoran Group in Palm Beach, Florida.

"With prices ranging from $9.5 million to a jaw-dropping $99 million, our top choices aren't necessarily America's most expensive coastal homes. They're the ones we instantly fell in love with for their curb appeal, remarkable histories, celebrity status and undeniable star quality," adds Conway.

Adds Brian Hardy, the publication's advertising manager, "From resort-style residences in Laguna Beach to traditional New England estates, these dream homes represent the pinnacle of the U.S. ocean home market. If you're looking for an waterfront home, your search begins in our August/September issue."
