If you had to choose between a beach house, a house with a pool, or a mountain house with a hot tub, which would you pick? (discuss.tchncs.de)

A beach house since it's less maintenance than pool house. I wouldn't do mountain house though since I don't live in a place that has them, and when I've visited places that do, I've always gotten dizzy and sick from the high altitude.

Beach house — less maintenance…?

Lol.

Salt eats everything, moisture rots it all, sand has no concept of personal space and will grit and invade everything.

Unless the beach house is at least 3 to 5km away from the shore, you will spend a ton of time and money in constant repairs and maintenance.

I was thinking a freshwater beach. I don't live anywhere near an ocean, but I do live near a bunch of lakes. Yes, the house could be built in a bad location where it ends up flooding, but if it's on a hill near the lake, then it is fine.
