We are 3 miles back, our lot does have a little ocean view (more mountain view) but our neighbors house is aligned w/ours & 'blocks' the ocean along our house.... our makai side (windward ocean side) of the house does see a lot more corrosion issues... we had "lifetime" door hardware that pitted within 5 years & the window hardware needs more attention on that side to stay nicely functioning... none of the other doors or windows on the other sides need as much attention... and the window glass on the ocean side does get more 'ichy' with a black residue quicker than our non-ocean, road facing windows...

(my own word...). FWS link with their planning points:
