"The view and access to the beach was better than expected. Usually the view and proximity to the ocean is never as good as it looks in pictures but this location is about 20 feet from the sand. I had heard that parking was going to be a problem but we were able to park our vehicle in the parking lot next to the Seabird Hotel and never had to move it the 3 days we were there. It was clean and had cooking utensils to use in the kitchen. Shower had good pressure and was hot enough to take...
