My husband and I had a great week! In addition to being oceanfront and being on the beach daily, we enjoyed sitting out on the lower balcony in the mornings with our coffee, and the upper one late night watching fireworks and the full moon. We fully appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella too. Lastly, being able to park in the garage was very convenient and kept our car fairly free of salt spray and sand.
