Way too far from the beach
Last edited:
When our youngest was on the way my wife wanted a big house on the mainland. We had a buyer lined up and we had picked out a very nice 4 bedroom Colonial on a big lot 2 and a half miles from the ocean as the crow flies. It would have been a dream house for most people and tremendously nicer than our house near the beach. It was however no less than a 15 minute drive from the nearest decent surf break in off-season traffic. After driving from that house to my favorite surf spot a couple of times I got cold feet and pulled the plug on the whole deal. I'm still not ready to move further than walking distance from the ocean almost 20 years later no matter how much nicer the house might be. Even after getting wrecked in Sandy its not even a question.
And wheres the octagon??? Jk that house is sick and primed for banging two chicks at the same time if you lived there. Duffman ftwWay too far from the beach
I can’t see any from inside the house.
From the house you can see through the trees there is one under construction and three more that you can’t see.
In front of that street there are three under construction and three completed.
From there back five completed three under construction. The one in the back is on two lots and looks to be around 2000 sq ft first floor, I think it will be three floors. Probably lodging.
The vast majority, 80%, have been started in the last three years.
Ten years ago we had zero neighbors within two miles. During the covid lockdown, besides the six of us (and a few smuggled in guests), there were four other neighbors out here. Six people in the water when everyone that surfed was out.
As places go, very few people would find it a nice place to live.
Down on the beach is another shitshow but I can’t see it from the hammock.
As you told me on your trip to Punta Mita, not a bad place to relax at all. Living and relaxing aren’t the same for most people. Whatever you need/want to entertain yourself (+ wife, family, and friends) if you don’t have it you won’t find it here. That lack of social interaction requires a ride down the dirt road for starters.
Love the pics of the compound bro. View from the hammocks is sick. Easy living only when it isn’t.
Ngl, wayyy less ramshackle than I pictured based off your homemade bong pics
Everyone is saying rich Canadians move to warmer climates. I dunno...
I loved surfing in Vancouver Island. Uncrowded waves, adventure, heavy water, discomfort. Coming home to that, and doing it again the next day would be pretty cool.
Fit, form, and function. Necessity is the mother of invention.
When was the last time you were there? If there surf conditions are decent, no where is uncrowded in the Canadian west anymore. The window of good surf can be pretty short at most spots. If the surf is poor then yes they are not crowded at all.
