Second, privacy and security are real concerns. My suite's sliding door opens essentially straight onto the beach with no barrier — I never felt safe leaving it open to hear the waves, because anything (or anyone) could walk right in. And the backyard swing sits directly in front of the bedroom windows, so guests sitting there look straight into your room. The blinds are the oldest style and don't adequately cover the doors — a fix that would cost under $30. Other reviewers have flagged this too, which makes it frustrating that nothing has been done.
The pathway to the beach is a safety hazard. There are only small stairs that are barely visible — you can see where previous guests have carved out their own alternative path to and from the beach. Someone could easily fall and get hurt. They really need better reinforced steps.
The furniture throughout needs upgrading, the handful of beach chairs are all in poor condition.
