Great location in the North Shore. Close proximity to the beach (walking distance). Grocery store- Foodland nearby. Use of the bikes, beach towels, and umbrella was nice. A few concerns; bed in main room was unusually rock hard, continual early morning rooster noise- will wake you up for sunrise, and car road noise. (of course this all depends on if you are a light sleeper or bothered much by outside noise) There is no A/C but there are fans all throughout and once the windows are all open it actually stays quite cool. The welcome box of macadamia nut chocolates were a very nice touch. We did enjoy our stay and use of the bbq, it is a quite lovely beach cottage.
