Area is ideal for anyone seeking beach views and downtown walks. Felt like it was a good location to have the most tourist-y experience while getting enough downtime from all the activities. We appreciate the staff for informing us that we forgot our laptop and then shipping it a week later. They offer yogurt parfait for bfast and wine around 4-6pm!
