You can literally see the concrete pad that it was built on & it appears to be built on stilts because all the walls of the first floor are gone.

It was built on stilts; it never had walls on the first floor. Standard building procedure for beach homes there. Most residents park their car(s) on the concrete pad under the house.

In other parts of the country, for similar construction, i’ve seen sacrificial, non-structural walls, that will tear away in a storm event.
