The unit is 3 feet from the seawall. At high tide the water comes right up to the sea wall---at low tide the beach stretches out about 100 meters (300 feet). There are 3 steps down to the water from the suite patio. We face New Castle Island (a provincial park) and the BC ferry (Horseshoe Bay), and look through to Gabriola Island, Georgia Strait and the mainland. You can see the public beach, a kiddie park and other houses in the distance down the beach. The nearest house to us is about 200 ft away on 1 side--there are no houses the other direction. House is on a hillside--there are gardens and green space on the suite level. The patio area is enclosed. We are south-east facing so lots of light---but shade is available. So is a hammock and comfortable chairs. We are on a deer trail and have resident otters, geese and visiting racoon's now and again.
