Ozai's beach house

Ozai's Beach House is located on Ember Island. Every summer before he became Fire Lord, he would take his family to the island. At one time, this estate was the most beautiful estate on Ember Island, but Zuko and his family haven't been back for many years so the house looks decrepit and rundown. During the episode "The Beach", Prince Zuko thinks back during the times his family spent on the estate and they were actually still happy.

Zuko's bitterness caused him to use keepsakes from the house, including a family portrait as tinder for a campfire on the beach in order to keep he and his friends warm. Princess Azula believes the beach house is "depressing" and dislikes being near it.

Several months later the beach house is once again occupied, this time by the Avatar and his friends, which also includes the newly joined Zuko. Zuko brought them to the beach house as a replacement hideout after Azula had chased them out of the Western Air Temple during "The Southern Raiders". Katara believed it's strange for them to hide from the Fire Lord in his own beach house, but Zuko assures her neither Ozai nor Azula would think to look there.



Aang and Zuko used the beach house's court yard for Firebending training to prepare for the coming battle. Three days before the comet's arrival, the Avatar and his friends held a last-minute beach party, which Zuko interrupted. The beach house would act as Team Avatar's hideaway until the arrival of Sozin's Comet.

Although it is mostly said to be Ozai's family's property, Iroh and Lu Ten are seen along the beach there in flashbacks. In addition, the presence of a portrait of Ozai as a baby suggests that the house may be the property of the Royal Family as a whole, and may have been in their possession since at least Azulon's reign.

With the conclusion of the War and Ozai's defeat, Zuko has likely acquired possession of this house. It is possible that he will refurnish it for future use.
