Building AC units are located outside bedroom window, which added to street noise. Trade off for great proximity to the ocean. Hot tub/pool area is well maintained.

No porch access, despite the pictures

The place was nice and big, but I was disappointed that the sliding glass door was very difficult to open and therefore sitting on the porch watching the waves was not possible. The bed also was not that great, I was disappointed with the bedding. I think it could be more updated.
