The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, 3,025-square-foot home comes with an 18-foot-diameter beach cave. And while that might be ideal in the warmer months, it looks pretty wicked when it gets colder.

But you must have $1.69 million if you’re looking to relocate to the residence, according to the listing on Zillow.com.
