"The grounds of North Coast village were beautiful and well taken care of. Check-in was easy and fast. The pool looked nice (we did not go in), there were also walking trails and the beach was very close! The unit was clean, but needs some updating. I found several small ants in the bedroom area.

"We love coming here. We always get a room with a kitchen and it’s fully stocked with good quality kitchen wares. The beach is a like 5-10 minute walk and you can borrow beach chairs, towels, wagon, and sand toys. There’s plenty to keep us busy with the beach, pool, mini golf, gym, and arcade. There is construction going on around the property and we could hear the noise from it during the day but it wasn’t bad and it didn’t start too early. Parking is a breeze. And the price is great. I’m hoping...
