How Close Can I Beach?

For some home buyers seeking shelter from cold concrete jungles, finding the perfect sun-drenched vacation home or permanent residence means living near the sand and surf, not right on the beach. In this fantasy lifestyle series, potential homeowners tour different structures that offer the beach lifestyle at varying distances to the shore and have clear differences in space, amenities and views. After carefully considering options, the families decide how close to the beach their dream house will be.
