This was a great location! The side room was actually open to the outside with screened doors. It was secure but not as quiet as we hoped as you could hear all the lovely birds at all hours. If you were hoping for a bonus couch for your teen son to sleep on, this would not be it. The kitchen was well supplied with basic necessities and the bathrooms were bigger than I expected. The mattresses were not the most comfortable, so if you have back problems, it may not be a great choice. My kids, husband, and I were fine, but my parents (in their 70s) were a bit uncomfortable. I appreciated the boogie boards and beach gear on hand as well. It really is a very short walk to Magic Sands beach and the little short-cut path is a fun mini adventure for kids. All things considered, it was a great price for what you get and I would stay there again.
