Our host Julianna was great. We stayed for 20 days and enjoyed the neighbourhood very much. The main access to the beach by front gate...was way better than going the back way at this location as it was very grown over and kinda awkward to walk through to the beach. This beach location is awesome !! Local surfers ,turtles , whales in the distance. Sunsets close to Sunset Beach surf competitions if you are into it. With a few small upgrades to the cottage this place would be a 10!... unfortunately we were disappointed as some of the amenities need help. Coffee maker is old bed is old but comfortable. Kitchenware needs updating cutting boards well worn. The lights on the security system for the home kept going off and on all night as well a bit annoying. Could not compare to other places along the north shore but the pictures for the cottage are accurate.
