The condo was beautiful and clean. The view was great. The downside to North Shore Villas was the beach access gate was locked at 10pm. You had to use the public access and then couldn't rinse off. And it is the 1st condo I've stayed at in N Myrtle in 15 yrs where you couldn't hang towels over your balcony. We actually had a note left on our door. And the "Gate Keeper" as we called him was ALWAYS, where ever you were. Always asking us questions, what were we doing. Mind you, we were All adults. He is probably the one who gives the owners peace of mind, but to guests, he was a nuisance and could be rude. (Said by other guests on vacation as well) All in all, We had a great week, but will never choose North Shore Villas again.
