The lanai overlooking Carlsmith Beach Park and listening to the ocean is amazing and makes a great home base. You can spend all day at the Beach Park or be able to launch to any part of the island, we went to the north tip of the island and the south tip of the island from our stay there. Great king size bed provided much needed rest and was very comfortable with amazing views out of the large bedroom windows for both the ocean park in the day and the stars at night. A few extra items like snorkeling fins, cooler, boogie boards, and beach chairs helped make the beach trips better. Good communication throughout, desk inside to work if needed. Not having A/C wasn't an issue for us in December/January with north facing lanai, kept the direct sun out of the space and was comfortable day and night.
