The location is lovely, great views of the ocean, although best observed from the upper level viewing chairs inside. There is a huge wraparound deck, with one side facing the ocean, and the other facing the secluded forest. The hot tub location faces the forest, and was very private and quiet. My negative note is the sofa in the living room is quite old, to the point where some of the seams are coming undone. Overall, this was a very nice home with an excellent location, and would be great for a family gathering.
