This unit is NOT "directly across" from the beach - it has a view of a garden and parking lot, and is the last building in a complex of buildings, furthest away from the beach. It's a 5 minute walk to the beach, which to be fair is not far at all, but still I felt it was false advertising. Also, the AC did not work sufficiently to cool the bedroom, even with the lanai shade pulled down so check the weather report before booking. Aside from those two issues, the place was fantastic and I would definitely stay again if the price was right and they fix the AC issue.
