Hi--We are HGVC owners (Kingsland@Waikaloa and Valdoro@ Breckenridge. We used some Bonus points to book a one bedroom at McAlpin and I'm sorry to tell you we are not interested in buying yours....and we haven't been to McAlpin in quite awhile, but we made reservations for a one bedroom end of December. We are older and we are now wondering if we would be sorry? Is it going to be so loud with partying and we won't be able to sleep? What's it like "these days?"--if you don't mind me asking.

Stayed there in December in the past 2 years. Never been bothered by any noise during the night. Also stayed in a 1BR, the 2 BR at the front might have a little more noise, but I actually doubt that. The properties on either side of the MacAlpin are not really party locations. I would not be worried about being able to sleep because of partying.
 
I was there in mid December last year and it was reasonably quiet in a 2BR. I think the only time it was noisy was when they were having their Christmas music and light show on a Friday.
 
I have a reservation for next year, let me know how everything was
 
HGVC South Beach (McAlpin & Ocean Plaza) is at the North end of Ocean Drive (Ocean Drive between 14th and 15th).

This end of Ocean Drive is pretty quiet and has less traffic and fewer people. The location is the best part of Ocean Drive. It's close to all the best restaurants and the quieter part of the beach.

It's a fantastic property and I've found it great when I was younger, childless and into going out late and even now that I'm older, with a younger kid and call it a night earlier.

Enjoy your stay.
