    I'd love to have a small house on the beach. I've always been found of the ocean ever since I was little. Plus the ocean waves are so relaxing to hear at night.

    My pad is about a 15 minute bus ride away from Brighton beach, so I'm not all that ennamoured of a beach, and as for living in a tent, forget it !!! I prefer my creature comforts, so if I go away - then I stay in a hotel.

    I've got the best of both worlds. I live a 10 minute walk down the channel from Lake Michigan. Beautiful state park another 5 minutes walk. I really wouldn't want to live directly on the shore. Just as the oceans are rising, so are the great lakes.

    I also have property an hour or so north in the woods. It is my get away camp. And will become my retirement homestead.

    Whichever one I can be naked at more, so probably the beach house.

    Hmm. Advantages to both. The beach is kinda more my style (barefooter, love the waves, pretty much always a laid back vibe at the beach).

    Cabin is kind of what I’d want for the zombie apocalypse. Plus I’d presumably be able to let my 2nd amendment fly!!

    Either way I wouldn’t want a big house. Sounds like a nightmare.

    Big house by the beach. I don't care for a big house, but I'd make a fortune off of Air B&B rentals

    Beach, hands down. As one who loves the ocean, I want beach. The house can be a ramshackle driftwood hut to an ostentatious mansion. Just gimme da beach!

    Cabin.
    Probably because I was born and lived all my life at sea, so it is more "exotic".

    I'm a summer loving person. I'd live in a caribbean island all year long if I could. So the only right answer for me is a cabin BY the beach :)

    They do get flooded a lot and it gets old after a while, so build it up high and strong, so it won't go out from under you in a Cat 5
    And with that comes the up and down of stairs with ever whip stitch. Answer....put some basic facilities down under after code enforcement signs off on it.

    Having lived in a wooden shack on a beach in the Caribbean islands, I can say it has it's ups and downs. The waves a night while you sleep are great! The insects are insane. Be prepared for it! Coconuts falling on your tin roof are quite startling! Collecting rain water in a 55 gallon steel barrel seemed really neat, until it became a sea of mosquito larvae. Solution? Some fresh water fish from the creek to eat them up...along with some netting for the top of the barrel.

    I could go on, but fires on the beach at night are surely awesome!

    I would go for the cabin on a lake, because my grandparents built on and the whole family (immediate and extended) would spend as much time there as we all could... Though not all at once.

    I like beaches, but I prefer lakes, forests and as few people as possible.
