It's ground floor, which I really really love, as there are zero steps. It's got a great floor plan with two bedroom suites that provide privacy, but the cozy little nook off the family room with the twin trundle bed is so perfect for kids, we've set it up to be really family-friendly, with a pack-n-play, high chair & games. Having the pool, fitness center & playground within a few steps of the unit makes it really nice to keep kids occupied. There is hardly ever anyone using the pool or other amenities, so you kind of have it all to yourself most of the time. I also love that it has a car vac, because we know what the beach will do to your car, so it's so nice to be able to vacuum all that sand out before heading home. I really like that there is a green space behind our unit for grilling and picnicking and that the bike storage is right there.
