The location is very close to beach and restaurants. Parking is on street - first come, first serve. We were able to use the owners parking spot since he was out of town when we were there. Unfortunately, he came back early and neglected to let us know. He moved his car the next night so we were able to park there the remainder of our trip. We just didn't think this unit was as nice as several others that we've stayed at in Belmont Shores.
