The house is lovely and clean, and the view of the ocean from the first floor can't be beat. Two things made our stay here less than ideal. One, there is no door or other auditory barrier between the upstairs master bedroom and the downstairs living/dining/eating area. The open stairway and landing act like a sound funnel. We could hear everything going on downstairs. And without a lockable door between the adult bedroom and the kids' zone, we were often surprised/intruded upon by our offspring. Second, the view from the upstairs patio is of the public restrooms at the park across the street, and of many utility lines that marred the view of the ocean. The road was not an issue for us, and the snorkeling was great.
