Yes, we may not be oceanfront, but we cannot beat the beautiful view that we have from our condo. We are fortunate in the fact that nothing is built on the beach across the street from us. And we love the fact that we have deeded access to the beach for our guests that make it easy to have your toes in the sand in no time!
