The location directly on the bay is fantastic! You are mere inches from the living room door to the sand. My only complaints are that the ground floor unit, which we had, experienced a lot of noise from the renters above us. You couldn't hear voices, but the footsteps of kids running around or the moving of any furniture was heard and quite annoying each day/night. My other issue is that for the nightly price of this unit, the bedding is terribly subpar. I actually went out and purchased a $50 comforter that rivaled the old school style one they had. Aside from that, we did enjoy our stay here and do recommend it.
