The rule of thumb we've always heard for salt air issues is the cut off in HPP is 7th for worrying about salt air corrosion and tsunamis. A coworker of mine built right by you, and she and her contractor husband said they were very conscious of salt air corrosion when they built. They preferred to invest up front in corrosion resistant materials, rather than deal with a steady stream of piddling maintenance issues.
We live about half way up HPP and can see rapid onset of corrosion on any exposed hardware we've put in. We had to replace every damn roller on the sliding doors and windows so far, with stainless steel this time around. Exposed metal corrodes here, the nearer you are to the ocean, the more it corrodes. At over two miles up the subdivision we sometimes hear waves hitting the shoreline.
You are moving into a nice part of HPP, we looked at a lot I loved right around there, but preferred to buy.
