My wife and I kept repeating "isn't this about perfect?" We were there 8 days and had the sliding glass doors open the whole time, night and day (except for the day it rained and we realized it was making the floor wet). At first, I thought we were pretty exposed to anyone walking behind the condo, since anyone who wants to could look right in to our 1st floor bed; BUT we saw less than ~10 people total over the whole week, and none were looking at the rooms, which makes sense since the beautiful Pacific is right there! In late afternoon, when the sun was out and hot, we pulled the blinds to keep it cool inside, then re-opened them for the sunset, that alone made there be no need for A/C. We loved the sound of the crashing waves just 30 feet away (no worries, they all crash into, and never over, the wall!). It was super handy having all the beach stuff available (boogie boards, beach chairs and towels, lots more too). Even though Magic Sands Beach is literally right next door, my wife liked escaping the crowds occasionally, which the deck chairs and outdoor pool provided. I'm normally a snob about most furnishings, but not here...everything fit, making it all the more homey. I highly recommend this place.
