OP, also review the concerns about the types of views you are looking for, water views may or may no be there all the time, and may over time become over grown, G/C views tend to have noise and possible lower privacy, nature view will probably be land controlled by the water district, you do NOT own to the waters edge and you CANNOT alter or control the vegetation. I raise these points because there were a few threads recently about a pond (water retention) that now has beneficial growth that looks like large weeds, threads about golfers going on lawns to retrieve balls, talking loudly and golf cart noise, and the potential problems of be on an a nature preserve. Make sure you ask a lot of questions and fully understand what you are buying.
I am not trying to be negative, but the have been many people that have complained over the years about the fact that there wonderful view is no longer a wonderful view and there is nothing they can do about it.
Hope you find the house of your dreams, we did.
