“This beachfront building benefits from diligent security and a prime spot near Thomas Drive, placing guests close to conveniences like Walmart; however, managing expectations around potential construction disruptions and parking lot ambiance is wise. I noticed recurring concerns about crowded pool areas and the management of beach space in front of the building. It's a serviceable option with some clear drawbacks to consider.”
