I would like you to have
Colorful Beach Shack
Decorated in the colors you mentioned in you letter, this beach house is ready for any party you want to throw with a huge deck and pool area.
When you just want to relax the cozy bedroom overlooks the pool with views of the beach and water.

Built in Sunlit Tides Well maybe not a shack but it is colorful! This house has color to spare from the aqua and red accents to the yellow and orange in the living spaces. There is a rooftop party area as well as a pool and spa.

In your letter you expressly requested
"a lot that combines a few different things (a bookstore and cafe in one, for example)."
So I made you exactly that!
Garden Path Books & Angel Cafe
On one side is the Garden Path Bookstore with wonderful selections for young and old alike. On the other side is Angel Cafe ready to tempt your taste buds.

Marit's Cottage
This is a fairy tale cottage with one bedroom and a large open living area.
Outdoors is a chicken coop and a pre-planted garden. A large pond fills half of the front yard.
Please note: There are two spawners on this lot, one for butterflies and one for fireflies. There are also two fog emitters in the fountain in the pond.

I'm right there with you! We really don't need to pack too much, just a couple of swimsuits will do!

This is the tutorial I used, I found it very easy to follow and was really happy with results. I did have to go back and forth between build and live mode a few times to make sure the water was "falling" in the right spot.

The Colorful Beach Shack is so tropical and colourful, and it fits Sunlit Tides perfectly. It also seems like there's just no end to all the fun! I'm so amazed by it! It just makes me want to jump into the screen and relax by the pool
Aaaah, I really can't wait to explore them in game! I'm gonna have a closer look at everything tomorrow (as it's kind of late here). Again - thanks so much *big hug*

Haha @SjappielovePaul In this case I'll gladly let you win lol. I'm glad my day at work was very busy so I wasn't really able to feel the lack of sleep. But after dinner it really hit me haha. Still going in game though to work some more on my last gift I hope you had a wonderful day!
@Kgaff Great job on the Garden Path Books & Angel Cafe! Both the bookstore and cafe look very cosy and the aquarium window is a lovely detail
