Tom's place was the perfect location for our family vacation! The sound of the waves can be heard anywhere in the unit when the balcony doors are open. You can explore the furthest north point or the south point in about an hour from the Airbnb. The best part of the unit for us was the balcony. We were very fortunate in our timing, we were able to watch whales anytime of day off the beach, dolphins and sunrises (although the sun is just clipped by the building-and can be seen if you walk out to the beach).
