"Nice condo, but the description is a little misleading. It’s a corner unit at the back of the complex near the street and railroad tracks. There’s also a fake lighthouse that flashed the windows until 11pm or so. The noise and light didn’t bother us - we were on the beach or in the pool 90% of the time. It was extremely hot in the unit when we arrived. Took a day to cool it off, but then it was fine. The condo was very well equipped and exceptionally clean. There was only AC in one room. Overall...
