I'm assuming no engineer was used? That's the most idiotic idea I've heard of in a long time. Any decent engineer would use concrete or stone or something that won't wash away with a simple wave.
I see that all the time in Florida. Not much sympathy for people who build fancy ass homes right on the ocean. And then they expect the government to bail them out each time the ocean comes and does its thing.
They developed a bunch of homes in Waldport, OR, in the dunes... they get buried in sand every time there's a wind storm (which is all the time on our coast). They've got a guy working full time to dig them back out. They try and rebuild the barricade dunes just to be lost during king tides and high surf events... i'm really surprised they're still there! Supposedly there's a wealthy Lincoln City real estate dude that's greased enough palms in Salem to pull this off! Even got a school built in the Tsunami flats of Newport, and almost got DOGAMI eliminated in the process. (Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, they do great work, including Tsunami modeling / escape routes / etc).

Not usually recommended, and illegal in many coastal areas.
The erosion continues at the edge of the revetment and eventually gets behind it. The "protected" property ends up a peninsula, and eventually an island
