Between the camera and house, a road stretches along the bottom edge. The beach house appears to be of a split-level design. A car is parked in front of the left third of the dwelling. A brick chimney rises against the facade of the central third of the house; it is flanked by 4, narrow and tiered windows. An addition stands along the right third of the structure. Some of the beach is visible behind and to the sides of the cabin. The Pacific Ocean stretches across the background.
