We love our stay here. The location was perfect for our needs. Although the unit is surrounded by other condos we almost never heard noise from them. The view from the lanai is lovely and we enjoyed waking early to watch the sunset. Everything you'd want for a beach day is there- chairs, towels, coolers, ice packs, etc! The sleeping area is small-just enough room for a queen sized bed and a very small side table. There is some noise from cars driving on the main road in the bedroom when sleeping with the window open. I didn't find it bothersome at all. More like white noise! We would definitely stay here again when coming to the North Shore.
