The unit is super cute and close enough to walk to the resort and/or golf course. If you are carrying a bunch of stuff to the beach, then you may want to drive but there is plenty of beach parking at Turtle Bay. The unit is upstairs so if you have large suitcases, you will need to carry them up two flights of stairs. Also, the stairs/ladder to the loft is rather steep, so people who don't get around so easy may want to sleep on the sofa bed downstairs. Very convenient and way cheaper than the resort!
