This is a fabulous place to stay! The ocean view is endless, the surf crashing, the fog going in and out, the sun and moon sparkling on the water— a great place to hunker down and recooperate from the heyday of life.
Bring everything you need, as stores are distant with very basic contents. The breakfast and lunch at Queenies in Elk (Thurs-Sun) is the best bet for local good eating. Rollerblade down in Manchester is not as good. Great hiking at Manchester beach.
We were traveling with my 100 yr old mother, and the house was perfect for her, just one six inch step at the front door. Walkways were large for easy rolling around, bed was low enough she could access it herself. The view kept her perfectly occupied and happy.
When my husband surprised us for a two night visit, the owner was very accomodating to the extra person, even tho we failed to notify her when he arrived. The neighbor on cliff below keeps a close eye on all the happenings, so the neighborhhod stays quiet unlike some beach tourist spots.
Our only complaint was the only truly comfortable place to sit was the living room but there was not enough lighting to enjoy the room after sunset. Also the seating on the deck was quite uncomfortable with many plastic sling chairs hard on neck and barstools with inadequate cushions. We were unable to work the tv, due to our own limitations as older folks not hip to the new setup.
Overall, we highly recommend this excellent beach rental!
