We lovingly called this place "narnia" because once you enter the gate, the noise and bustle of the street fades away and you are swept into a quiet (although not really private) space with an amazing ocean views. CONS: 1) yard is NOT PRIVATE as described. It is shared with a dentist office that is open even on weekends. You can stare out your living room and kitchen windows and watch someone get their teeth cleaned. The first 24 hours we were there, 9 separate people walked around the "private" yard (e.g. gardeners, property manager, dentist patients, hot tub cleaners, construction workers, etc.). 2) missing some essential kitchen items like cooking oil, cellophane, etc. PROS: 1) Walking distance to everything you need and want 2) view is as pictured 3) Amenities are great (hot tub, fire-pit, etc.)
