This resort is not within walking distance to the beach. The shuttle service offered by the resort was timely and convenient however not very useful as you cannot take chairs or coolers on the shuttle. The resort offers 4 chairs on the beach. When the townhome sleeps 12, where are the others supposed to sit? There is no parking at the beach which made the logistics of going to the beach miserable. There are so many stairs inside and outside the townhome, not easy for loading and unloading. Of all the VRBO rentals I have had, this is by far my least favorite. The home was nicely decorated, and the kitchen well stocked with dishes and pans, there were only 4 drink glasses, plenty of wine glasses and coffee mugs. Think twice before reserving this resort...lots of rules. That being said, the pool is perfect as is the beach.
