Right on the coast there its rarely over 80 degrees.  My place there in 08 had no AC at all and didnt need it. And plenty of clouds.  Im not surprised it looks good, it may get damaged during extreme events but those are rare that close to the water. Our hottest temp that summer was 93 when Escondido was well over 100 and Ramona inland was 118! I was surprised at the span of temps, but its common to see that with the marine layer and hills creating neat microclimates there.
