Conveniently right across the entrance to the beach, easy access in and out, and it takes very little time from rental to beach and beach to rental. If you want to stay away from the crowd, but still want the beach, there is the front balcony on the second floor. We fell in love with it. Enjoyed the sun, breeze, and view during the day and went to the beach an hour or two before sunset when it was less crowded.
