Sounds like things are going very well for you Jfire, congrats! A little house by the ocean sounds very cool to me in itself!
Regarding the relationship, only you will know when you are "ready"....and I think it's good that you are here seeking advice and taking it slow. New romance is always enticing for both....but a full time relationship always has it's hardships to deal with too. Being ready for them is the real key...and you will get there eventually.
