A beautiful location, like an eagle’s nest perched overlooking the beautiful coastline and creek below, very well designed to allow maximum enjoyment of the view both from inside and out. Highly recommend.
If wanting to walk to the beach, totally fine if you are reasonably fit, but assume you will at least be driving to the bottom of the driveway if you are not (you don’t get a view like this without getting high above the landscape). I did not consider it a negative, it just provided a good workout of the legs two to three times a day.
