I am considering purchasing a one bedroom room unit during prime time red week on the beach. This unit is on the first floor. I question the first floor because everyone may not like the first floor if I decide to rent it out or sale it one day. However, someone told me that people have different agendas, you very well could find people that are handicapp that need a first floor and people could be afraid of heights. I was thinking for security reasons people rather be on floors above. How popular is it to rent or sale a first floor even it is a popular beach front redweek.

As someone else stated people have different agendas .... some people may like the first floor so they can walk out of the unit onto the beach, children would have a place to play outside, it's easier carrying beach chairs, coolers etc. etc. etc.
However there's no way to calculate how popular first floor units are to rent or sale. The main thing to consider is that you wouldn't be bothered by owning a first floor unit.

Often if you are buying resale you don't have a choice of units. If you like the resort, understand the MF's, have a handle on the HOA, and you are happy with a first floor unit you should go ahead. If I had a choice of units, I might choose a higher floor but I doubt it would be a deal maker/breaker. I recently stayed at a nice unit in the OBX and the first floor had no view except for of the dunes and the higher floors had ocean views. If I had an opportunity to buy a unit for a reasonable price even though I would prefer a view would take a 1st floor.
