Fantastic ocean view

Pros: Outstanding ocean and beach view from the back porch and out the sliding glass doors of the unit. Top floor corner beach front unit is as good as it gets in the complex. Complex landscaping and unit spacing were nice and had a botanical garden feel. It was very handy to be right on the walking/bike path along the beach that runs up and down the coast. The short walk to Coconut Marketplace offered shopping, restaurants, grocery, shave ice, coffee and more just one minute away. Air conditioning was a big plus. Nice sand beach just feet away.Cons: No elevators if that matters. Unit and furniture was very dated and worn. Bed was old, not comfortable and squeaked loudly with every movement. No laundry on premises, although we did find a laundromat a couple of miles away. Parking was an issue, even though we had a permit. The overflow from nearby restaurants and Coconut Marketplace filled the lot and we had to park some distance away along the road and walk several times. There did not appear to be any permit enforcement to assure parking for residents. There needs to be better lighting on the stairs. The light on the front of the condo does not light the stairwell and it is really hard to see the steps in the shadows after dark. Be prepared to be awakened at 4 am daily by courtyard roosters.Overall, the location and view trump the cons. It seems a bit pricey for what you get with the space given the condition. It is basically an old hotel room converted to a rental.

Needs some care

The unit is showing its age. The toilet continuedly runs and wastes water unless I lifted the lid and fixed things. The sliding door is difficult to use and the screen door does not lock.

Watch the sun come up over the ocean while listening to the waves

we loved being so close to the beach, however the water is a bit roily and there is coral just off the shore. it was quiet and peaceful. though we had everything we needed, the studio really is small, and on the third floor, without an elevator. The landscaping was absolutely beautiful. Would definitely return!
