It is definitely right on the ocean. I thought the crashing waves were too loud but my sister thought it was great. I stayed in the second bedroom where there were louvered windows so you could close sections of it which made it much quieter for me👍🏻 it’s on the third floor, no elevator. Easy enough to walk up though. Does have a nice area for grilling nearby. Kitchen had a nice selection of small appliances. A bit stingy on the silverware. I believe there were four forks and four knives and a few spoons. Master bathroom has plenty of drawers since there is no dresser in the master bedroom. The second bedroom has a bench but no dresser. Lanai is nice. I would say maybe a 7 minute drive into the shopping/restaurant area. Costco, Walmart and Safeway maybe a 12 minute drive.
