This house has an absolutely beautiful view of the ocean and we did indeed see lots of dolphins and seals(sea lions?) in the mornings! There is lots of space, beds, bathrooms, and a large open kitchen floorpan which is ideal for larger parties. I agree the listing is slightly misleading with regards to having a private beach because there is no beach at high tide and barely one even at low tide. We were traveling with small children and hoping to spend more time at the private beach which didn't happen. Overall though it's a great location and beautiful house, especially for large parties.
