This unit was very close to the beach. They have beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, etc. available for use, which made our beach time very nice. This unit is small and great for two people. We really liked having the garage for the car. Make sure you have a compact or standard size car, as Janet and Scott stated, so it will fit. We had a very nice vacation and would not hesitate to book again at one of Janet and Scott's units.
