Sun Holiday with DH and DM

[swege]

We're thinking of going away for around a week somewhere sunny for winter sun over Christmas. Starting to think about villas as hotels for Christmas week are crazy expensive.

Two options are:

Option A - Apartment or small house walking distance to the beach
Option B - Larger house with private pool, but a drive to the beach and restaurants

Which would you go for?

I would do walking distance to the beach so that if (say) one person wants to stay at the beach a bit longer and another wants to get back to the apartment, that's easily doable.

Walking distance to the beach for me too. Unless the pool is heard it will probably be too cold to use anyway.
