We only stayed for a short time but it seemed like a prime location area! While our trip was not focused on being a beach getaway, it was a very short distance walk to the public access to the beach. We did get to walk out and enjoy the beach one evening after 5pm and it was perfect. We enjoyed the balcony that overlooks the lake area more so than the partial ocean view back deck. It should be noted that there is no elevator and is up 3 flights of stairs. This was no problem for us, but worth knowing for other renters. The space itself was clean but is a basic, no frills space. While the decor is minimal and dated, I’d rather know I had a clean space to stay in, and this condo did deliver that. So, overall I rate this a nice place to stay if you are just looking for a basic, clean space.
