If you're looking for a non-touristy, no fuss stay with a 2 minute walk to the beach - this is the place! The studio has all the essentials (kitchen supplies, linens/towels, AC, TV, excellent Wifi), and Kurt is extremely generous with providing anything else you may need and information about/recommendations for the Northshore.
I did not rent a car as I planned to stay relatively local. There is a great bike path that starts just south of the studio and will take you to more beaches, hikes, shops, restaurants, etc. The local Foodland delivers groceries, but be aware that Uber/Lyft are not very available and don't allow you to schedule rides.
Would definitely recommend a stay here!
