extremely close and 2 min walk to one beach, and very quick drive to several other beaches. it was really great to have access to the beach chairs, towels, umbrella, cooler, etc. as that made going to be the beach a lot more comfortable. the pool is also relatively nice and kept at a nice temp. krzsystof was very quick to respond to any msgs. also note that the couches in the living room are more updated than what is shown on the listing.
