We were skeptical about the location of this unit in proximity to the bar and restaurant, but were pleasantly surprised by how well sound-insulated the home was. Even with the live music playing at the restaurant, we could hardly hear it inside. At the same time, it was great being able to hang out on the comfortable back porches (upper and lower), and enjoy the entertainment of the bar and restaurant. We left our boat in a slip during our stay, and enjoyed the convenience of just walking out the back door and hopping in the boat for a spontaneous cruise. We had a wonderful time, and can't wait to come back!
