I live a few miles away, I've been down the street a dozen times. The house sits about five feet above sea level. There's a handful of restaunts on the same street, and a public beach and a public parking lot.
Oddly enough, he has zero parking. So I'm guessing he'll probably buy another place nearby. He paid something like 30% over the asking price, so I have a hunch that this won't be the last place he buys on this street.
From the realtor's website, the property actually includes the house across the street which has a garage (scroll through the photos to the satellite pic). He'll probably use the property one or two days a year. That's all how the crazy rich live while we get $1200.

Del Mar feels a lot like Kirkland, which is right nearby to where his home is in Washington. (His home in Washington is in Medina.)

Ah, that makes sense.
