“Waking up to the sight of sunrises from the garden path just outside the ground floor unit was an absolute highlight, especially with the ease of stepping right out to nearby hiking trails and the beach. It was quite convenient to find beach chairs, a cooler, and boogie boards already there, making spontaneous seaside outings simple. The resort's direct oceanfront position also meant tennis and bocce were readily available, though the interiors are showing their age, everything remained perfectly clean.”
