Apartment is surrounded by hotels and condos but not congested. A short walk up small hill and cross A1A gets you to Beach area that is about a mile or so from the pier. You can see off to opposite side the lighthouse a couple of miles out. This Beach area is shared by a couple of hotels. If you want to drive to pier to park it is very crowded and it is per hour rate. Apartment has 2 wall units and you have to work with regulating the air circulation in the apartment to get it to be comfortable.
