What we loved:
-The unit opens up to the lovely private gardens just a few steps away from the ocean. It has a wonderful indoor/outdoor feel.
-Being on the ground floor is wonderful because the access to the outside is so easy, especially with a toddler.
-Loved not having to cross a street to access the water.
-Nice lawn for games and pool for swimming with toddler
-Private beach is good for adult swimming, but was not so good for small children due to the waves
-We loved the BBQ facilities overlooking the water; a very special cooking experience indeed.
-Unit is very nicely appointed and the kitchen is wonderful.

Drawbacks to be aware of:
-Bedroom faces the parking area and road, and can be a bit noisy in the evening if you go to sleep before 11pm, especially if you keep the windows open for ventilation. On the second day i made a trip to Walgreens to purchase ear plugs. Note that i am a light sleeper and my wife did not have much of a problem.
-Be aware there is no air conditioning, other than ocean breezes and ceiling fans. This isn't a drawback per se, as the above works very well, but just to be aware so expectations are not that of a highly conditioned hotel environment.
