(16,526 posts)6. We stayed in Vilano Beach in a house with the ocean at the back deck...
I mean seriously lapping against the house at high tide. It freaked me out. My husband was oh isn't the sound of the waves nice? And I could barely sleep because of the sound. This was the year after Matthew hit and there was still visible damage. We were told it was because people's insurance companies were insisting things be brought up to code and they couldn't afford it.
That said, if we ever go again we will stay across the street from the ocean.
