With a view like this one overlooking San Francisco Bay you should be careful to take full advantage of what you’ve got. This homeowner did so by making this sun drenched deck cantilevered off the back of the house, right out over the water. Some built in seating and an inviting chaise lounge complete the picture. In fact this scene was so inviting that Coastal Living magazine used it as a cover shot!

Great views! This outdoor deck overlooking a sea looks charismatic! The addition can be a nice seating arrangement; if you intend to invite few of your friends or loved ones over few drinks or a generous spread. This space is suitable for seniors or infirm.
