Our family had a blast at this property. The beach is right out front, and not super crowded. Shops and restaurants are just a couple blocks away. The view is fantastic. Getting to other places in the city such as the zoo, sea world, and the USS Midway weren't bad drives either. The only minor hang-up for us was to have to move all the breakable things in lower, small child accessible places, to higher places. Then we put them back the best we could before we checked out. Again, this was rather minor, but i thought worth noting. It was all a very good experience. We would stay here again.
