This was a great house in a wonderful area of the north shore with fantastic views. The house had most everything we needed and plenty of room for all of us. My biggest complaint, however, is the property was not as advertised. The pictures on the listing show direct access to the beach. However, due to significant erosion, you cannot access the beach directly from this property. There is more than a fifteen foot drop to the beach that begins directly on the other side of the deck where the sand is covered with black tarps and boards to hold it down from the deck to the shore line. To access the beach, you have to walk 100 yards or more in either direction to find a public entrance to the beach. It is our understanding from talking with the locals in the area, the erosion has been ongoing for years. The pictures featured in the listing must have been taken years ago.
While not nearly as major in comparison, the pictures showed an outdoor shower, which did not exist.
This property is a great property and offers wonderful views. It just did not offer what we were looking for nor what we were led to believe when we booked it. I would have liked to have known there was not direct beach access when we booked the property to make the decision whether the other positives offered were worth not having the direct beach access as pictured in the listing. It was extremely disappointing to walk in and see right off the bat that we could not access the beach from the property directly. There were other properties available in the same price range that we could have elected to book had we known.
If you want to sit on the deck and listen to the waves crash, in a quiet north shore neighborhood that is close to some of the most beautiful stretches of beach, it is a great property. If you are looking for easy beach access, you will not find it here despite the appearance otherwise.
