The unit itself was beautiful and the view is spectacular. It is a bit further from the beach than we thought. It took us 25 minutes to walk to either of the closest beaches. The water's edge in front of the Marriott took us about 10 minutes, but there is no beach in front of the Marriott - you must walk to the right or the left to get to either of the two beaches there. For us, it was not a practical walk, and we probably would have stayed elsewhere if we knew the distance to the beach (the walk to the beach is a steep downhill and the walk home is obviously uphill). So, if you stay here, just accept that you need to drive to the beach - but there are way better beaches just a few miles down the road so if you are going to be in the car, you may as well go to the other superior beaches with a fraction of the people. Also, they did bug/pest spraying in the unit one day when we were there, which we were notified about the day before when it was posted outside our door. Had we known they were going to spray during our stay, we would have chose another rental. All in all, it is a really nice unit (beds were comfortable, good AC, well equipped) in a very secure area, but we would have appreciated better communication regarding the pest spraying and the proximity to the beach.
