The view is amazing! You can watch the sunrise from bed. There are several large windows that get a nice ocean breeze and really cool the place off, so no AC was never a problem for us. The daybed was perfect to relax on with windows on both sides with both ocean views and a cross breeze. You can hear people in the other units above and around this one, but if you use the fan in the bedroom at night it drowns out the noise of the neighbors.
