The beach is 5 minutes from my home Hi guys! How do you say that some place, the beach for example, is 5 minutes from your home? is "X minutes from THE PLACE" the correct structure? Is there another structure more natural among natives to express time-distance? Could you give some examples? Thanks in advance!

Ah, if only the beach were indeed just five minutes from my home!

You have the grammatical structure right, however whether you say house or home, depends on what kind of building you live in. A house is a particular type of building, whereas a home is a place where someone lives, so a home could be anything from an apartment to a boat, as long as someone lives in it. Most people I believe would say "the beach is 5 minutes from my place." But house and home are just as acceptable.

It's fine and absolutely natural. You might want to be more precise about the 5 minutes. For example, It's a five-minute drive from my home. or It's a five-minute walk from my home. or It's a five-minute bus ride from my home. But otherwise, your sentence is perfect.

You can also just say: The beach is five minutes away.
