Last week I took off out thick curtains and washed it, it smells like fried oil lol. I love our view out side although at this side I can't see the ocean because of the mountain but during sundown it always have the amazing sunset view. Love it like this when there's no curtains on, but the windows are not tinted so privacy is most appreciated lol.
By the way that building you can see is Baptise Church, we are just right beside a church that's why we love this area here.
I'll try to get a great view of the ocean from our house next time... I can see the ocean from my kitchen window and always watch the sailboats that passes by, its only about 300 meters away.
