The house was wonderful - a lovely place to stay, very close to Sunset Beach. It's more spacious than I pictured it from the photos. If I ever get back to the area with a large-ish group, I would definitely try to stay again.
There were many things that were as advertised, so we were glad to have our expectations set ahead of time: the lack of air conditioning, the shared space with downstairs neighbors, the small parking space. All things that we made work, no problem.
The house could use a few basic improvements - many of the light bulbs are burned out, and better doors to the downstairs bedrooms/bathrooms would be great. (The current ones don't really offer any privacy.) I also think a few hooks hung in most of the rooms would come in handy, for hanging laundry, wet towels, etc.
All in all, we had a fabulous time, and the house was a great home base for our North Shore adventures. The beach itself makes up for any shortcomings. So gorgeous, and such amazing sunsets!!
