J. Marie has an amazing place on the North Shore. It is really nice having the outdoor shower to rinse of sand and salt from the beach and laundry to do a quick load so you have less to do when you get home! It was also nice have 2 bedrooms. We loved sleeping in the upstairs one with the AC and fan on. It felt cool and breezy! The only downfall of sleeping upstairs was that we had to go down the stairs outside to use the bathroom in the other bedroom.
The house is a short walk to Sunset Beach and about a 15-20 minute bike ride to Sharks Cove. Ted's Bakery is about a 10 minute walk and has the best cinnamon buns and breakfast pastries! They also serve good lunch and dinner! There are some great food trucks at Sharks Cove. Foodland is a nice grocery store across from Sharks Cove.
It is very difficult to get an Uber from this location. If you plan to travel around the island, I highly recommend getting a rental car. The upside to this location is that you are located where the sunset is every night so you don't have to drive in the traffic to see it!
Overall, we loved staying at J. Marie's! It was very clean and peaceful. J. Marie was an excellent host and was very responsive. She gave us tips about where to go and times to go there. We would definitely stay there again!
