This condo is really is close to the ocean. Swimming pool just feet from the condo patio surrounded by a lawn with lounge chairs and BBQs for your use, then a sea wall. You can hear the waves breaking, but can't see them unless you stand on the sea wall. There is no sand beach close by, but if you walk to the end of the street, Haycraft park is there with nice sand beaches. If you sit on the patio the air conditioner is all you will hear when it is running. The condo is older and not well maintained. The air conditioner filter needed to be changed, the furniture is old, not very clean, but functional, although the pull out couch gave us some trouble. It was out and made into a bed when we arrived. We didn't need it and it took us a few days to get it to fold back into the couch configuration. The curtains don't cover the big sliding glass door and the pull-down shades don't pull down all the way. We never found a functional remote control for the living room ceiling fan/light so the light and fan were on for the duration of our stay - two weeks. After about five days, I found the remote control for the bedroom ceiling fan under the bed. The exhaust fan in the bathroom didn't work at all, so we left the bathroom door open during showers. The owner was polite, accommodating and gave us the number for their host company. The host/ maintenance co. was responsive, and did send people over, but they didn't fix anything. No ceiling fan remote, no bathroom fan repair.
