I will start out saying this was a gorgeous house. We have a 3 and 5 year old so the location on the beach was a dream. I loved it. Everything was absolutely perfect except one thing. You heard every footstep from the people upstairs. They were not loud, up late people but you heard every (barefoot) step they made and chair they moved. The steps to get up to their suite was right over the master bedroom. It echoed so loud that you couldn’t sleep. The upstairs patios also overhung our patio so when they sat out you had zero privacy. They would sit and chat and it was so loud that I couldn’t have a conversation. Again I must say these people were not loud, it’s just how close you are. A cool feature about the upstairs is their entire beachside of the building was these garage door windows so they could open up and be wide open. Unfortunately it made us feel like we were vacationing with them. We heard every conversation. They could talk to their kids on the beach. We even would have to listen to their tv while we were on our patio. If we were outside we felt like we had an audience the whole time. It is a neat concept but totally not feasible if you are sharing a building.
