This was a lovely historic cottage, steps from the beach. With the beach in line of sight, and Jockeys Ridge behind us, we had a wonderful off season stay. The cottage is well appointed with decorative touches that showcase the history of the home and Jockeys Ridge. Because it is a historic home, minor things like doors not latching, uneven floors can be overlooked and in some respect added to its charm. The kitchen, bathrooms and beds all were fine. But we would suggest the host supply small beach supplies like beach chairs and an umbrella. Our stay was four days in the shoulder season and we found the setting to be just the right mix of proximity to the beach and Jockeys Ridge and great restaurants. Main concern was all of the construction from the adjacent homes being renovated. The wraparound porch with rocking chairs and benches was a great place to enjoy the ocean breeze and, both sunrises and sunsets. We really enjoyed our stay and would go back.
