Wow, what an awesome experience! To have real crashing waves to fall asleep to instead of a sleep sounds machine. Just an amazing, amazing location. Close enough to the water to see the sea turtles and hear the waves, beautiful sunsets, waking up with the sunrise, amazing deck. But if you value privacy above all else this is not for you. The deck is shared with the unit next door, but more importantly the curtains for the bedroom French door are bamboo and are not blackout - so at nite if the lights are on inside and anybody is out on the deck you can see right in even with the curtains closed. We worked around it though and for us it was definitely worth it!
