If you like sunsets and afternoon sun, Western exposure is what you seek!

That house has eastern exposure which means you will have sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon. That might be nice in July and August when its super hot but the rest of the year you will be cold! I love my sunny afternoons overlooking the water!

I know it's not the same, but have you considered an island property? Island living is not for everyone - certainly worth looking and seeing if the pros outweigh the cons.

Most people prefer western exposure but our house faces east. However, our lot is big so we get all day sun because it is open. You are right in most cases though. It's hard to figure out all the "perfect" options.
