Or, like us, just fancy a cheeky look inside spectacular properties you will probably never be able to afford?
Either way, here are some of the county's most stunning homes with sea views currently up for sale on Zoopla.
They include Charles Dickens' favourite holiday home, an EcoMansion - and even a house crafted from a Second World War gun emplacement.
You never know - you might win the lottery one day...
A planned "EcoMansion" - called Ancona - in Cliff Road, Hythe, would command impressive panoramic views of the English Channel and a golf course.

The Gunnery in Kingsdown near Deal has 180 degree views of the Channel and is crafted from a Second World War gun emplacement.
The driveway leads to a parking area in front of the double garage. To the left of the garage is a door which opens to a tunnel leading through the cliff to a glass lift - which gives access to the house.
The sitting area has shelves formed around one of the original gun emplacements.
It is situated on the outskirts of the village and above the sheltered beach in the lee of the White Cliffs of Dover.
The sale of The Gunnery also includes an area of beach immediately in front of the house. You can view the property on Zoopla here.
