The condo is in the back of another unit so you do have to climb some stairs (which wasn't an issue for us) but is private, quiet and steps from the beach. The condo was very clean and had almost everything we needed (we wanted a blender to make tropical drinks but it has everything else). There were 2 beach chairs and 2 beach towels which was a pleasant surprise. If you didn't need to drive, you could park your car and walk everywhere or ride the trolley. I was attending a conference and was worried that I wouldn't have parking every night when I came home (since it is street parking) but it was never an issue, there were always spots available. Valerie was extremely helpful with some of the logistical issues since I was traveling for business. She also called to check in to make sure parking wasn't ever an issue for me. The price for the unit was about $100 cheaper per night then the conference hotel. The balcony, while not a beach view, is peaceful and covered - great for those evening rain storms. There are so many windows in the unit which was great for opening to the cool spring weather. It was a great place to stay for my conference and for enjoying a week at the beach.
