Our stay was very enjoyable in 819- it was great to have a view of the cool garden pool with the ocean off in the distance. The unit has a washer/dryer which was a bonus for us at that part of our trip! The KS is located in a great spot to access what ever excursions we set out on and very close to the store to have goodies back at the unit. We also enjoyed just staying around the grounds swimming in the pools and soaking in the jacuzzi tubs with great fresh towel service! We found out that the beach has recently been eroded away, so we never went in the ocean there- if we hadn't had three full days of all beach before arriving at KS I think I would have been much more disappointed. I know there are beaches in walking distance and the bus stop to Whaler's Village is an option we never did, but it would be recommended to go to Black Rock with the snorkel set that is in the unit!
