I will second that...

Besides what has been mentioned, other considerations of the STR can be weather and that the beach is pretty underwhelming (just the sand, not the view!) Also, and maybe this is just my thing, but there is a frequent opportunity to feel as though you should tip (not unique to this STR). Kids are prevalent, particularly during non-school times. I would still return in a heartbeat.
