The beach seems like a river not a ocean, if you want to spend the day on the beach I don't recommend staying in this place because is uncomfortable, we had to go by car to other beach.
And also we didn't have any space inside the apartment, it was only confortable to sleep, not to do anything else. I wouldn't choose it again.
