The house is very well positioned to enjoy the river, the ocean, and the mountains. The town has most everything you could ask for. The house is as great as it looks in the description. Just be aware that the town is on a ridge-so the Woolies is a block away but has a bit of a climb. Nothing a reasonably fit person would think twice about, but we had grandma and the town and beach were less accessible for her than I had thought.
