To answer both your questions, the old rooms, facing them were more horizontal. Kitchen to the left(or right) bed and dressers to the right. The rooms are now vertical. Entering the door and you go into the bedroom and bathroom, a little more forward and you’re in the kitchen with a view of the beach and water. How great is that! Very nicely laid out. If you plan on staying here, you won’t be disappointed. It’s been 16 years that we’ve been “Toadies” and still love it.
