We had a great time at felt very welcomed at Philip's apartment.
Apartment is very private, with a large deck overlooking lush backyard. It is on a first floor of a house, with owner family residing on the second floor. There is a separate entrance into the grounds, with a outdoor shower and foot rinse to help clean up beach sand. Sunset beach (mother's beach) is a few minute walk through a quiet street.
There is no air conditioning, but there is no need for it. Trade winds and opened windows are sufficient and apartment never got hot, even on a sunny days.
Photos are very accurate and can better describe the apartment then my words. Overall, this is a very nice accommodation right in the middle of North Shore action where you can try to pretend to be local for a few days. Next time we are looking for a place on the North Shore, this will be my top choice.
