Prime beachfront location with excellent views.
Pros:

Steps away from the beach and a short walk to the pier and shopping. We had an ocean front unit with a large patio and expansive view. Visiting in Winter, we didn’t use the pool or hot tub, but they appeared well-maintained.

Cons:

Nothing I didn’t like for the price point.
