Car Rental vs. Uber - The cost to Uber to downtown is way less expensive then to rent a daily car then pay $30+ to park not to mention spend 15+ minutes trying to find that parking spot which usually winds up being a 5 to 10 minute walk from your downtown destination. Uber usually cost $15 each way which of course will drop you off right in front.
Riding bikes along the boardwalk is usually the most scenic way to get around and take in the atmosphere. We supply communal bikes for the guests in our complex. We ask that you not take out more than 2 bikes at a time to leave bikes for the other guests. Should you need additional bikes there is a bike rental shop nearby that gives our guests a discount. They also rent surfboards, wetsuits, standup paddle boards and a lot of other fun beach equipment.
