This place is only a block from the ocean and close to restaurants. The biggest knock on this location is the lack of sound proofing. You can literally hear the neighbors talk, watch television and walk through their place, making it very difficult to get any sleep if you are an early riser. Ironically, I have stayed in this same complex multiple times, but in different apartments and never had any issues with noise. The noise issues seem to be limited to apartment #5. Recommend the complex but not the unit.
