Unfortunately the area was quite noisy, as there is a catering company one side and a construction site on the other. it's a a super short walk to any food and drink places you could imagine, so that was definitely a huge plus side. One main issue with the cottage is if you get assigned building 1, you have no privacy with the blinds open, so we stayed our whole time with the blinds pretty much closed. Tons of people park on the street right in front of building 1 to go to the beach so it was also extremely noisy with people yelling constantly. I was under the impression that the bungalow would have a slight view of the ocean, however I was wrong, it's tucked in the side of the food plaza with it's only view being a large field of dead grass.
