Lovely condo near the beach with updated and modern decor and nice amenities. Very well kept and clean upon arrival. All amenities listed were available and the kitchen was well stocked. The pool area was very pretty and had a nice hot tub for the cool evenings. I rented a car but there were several tours that left at the boat dock across the street and there was a small beach within walking distance. I preferred Kamole beach II, so I’d load up the beach chair and cooler and drive a few minutes down the road. Several upscale resorts were just a 5 min drive if you wanted to have a nice meal out. The host sent lots of recommendations and information about the area. I ate at Humble Kitchen and Morimoto and both were wonderful. There are also a few places within walking distance a little further up the main road. I went to to a cute walk-up coffee shop that sold açaí bowls if you are up for a morning stroll when the sun isn’t too hot. It is true that if you are sitting down in the condo or on the patio, you can’t see the ocean since it’s a ground floor unit- so if that’s an issue for you then you may want to take that into consideration. I didn’t hear much noise at all; I had a very relaxing and peaceful stay!
