If you open the patio door you can hear the waves of the ocean lapping on the shore and the seagulls in the distance. You are far enough away from the pool area so the noise does not affect your stay and there was usually people in the pool because its amazing. I didnt think I would be in there as much as we were but it is clean, inviting, and steps from the ocean as well. This property had plenty of room for me and my family of six. Plenty of towels. The only complaint I have is the kitchenware is extremely basic. It was difficult to say the least to cook meals. There are very few pots and pans, basic things you need to cook. We got tired of eating out but it was almost like camping trying to find skillets, pots, and pans to accommodate cooking for a large family. But the location of this property makes up for it. Pillows are a bit hard, bed was very soft. It was so nice to have chairs and an umbrella set up every day and an equipment rental right on the beach. Thank you!
