The beach is right across the street, and John has everything you could need to really enjoy it - body boards, sand toys, umbrella, chairs, and a cart to haul it all! The condo was great for our 2 adults and 3 kids, ages 8, 10, 12 - we had 1 kid sleep on the pull out couch. Might be tight with 6 grown-ups. The grounds are lovely, the pools just steps away, and there are lots of restaurants, coffee shops, shave ice stands, and shopping within walking distance. You can pop out for an iced coffee and a cinnamon bun for breakfast and be back before the kids even wake up. The rest of the condo was mostly quiet, with official quiet hours between 10pm and 8am. The birds, however, don't seem to understand that and start chirping? No, that's not the right word... Squawking? Screeching? at about 5:30am. We called that brown one with the long neck an "alarm clock bird". We didn't really mind, since the sun was up and we were ready to get each day started, anyway. There is AC, but one room gets a little warm, even with fans. The first 2 days we were hot, having come from 40 degree weather, but after that we acclimated and didn't use the AC much. There is often a nice breeze in the night time and we kept the windows open all night. Overall, a wonderful, low-frills, happy stay!
