I’m going to start this review saying that I’ll certainly book this studio again, for real, as often as my busy work schedule allows me to do so. I was already excited before booking it just because of all positive reviews, it’s really difficult to find a place that has solid 5 stars….now I understand why! The place is really spotless clean and to keep that being a place that’s pet friendly, hands down to Shawn and Stephanie! I’m also picky with smells and there was no smell what so ever which made me feel home away from home! The studio is small but you don’t feel clustered because it’s open…it also have big windows which brings a lot of light. The studio is loaded with everything you will need, coffee machine, pots & pans, silverware, glasses, etc. The owners are so kind that they also provide as courtesy dish detergent, laundry detergent, soap and even toothbrush and toothpaste. The décor is very nice and bring a happy atmosphere. Outside we have a private deck with a table, 2 chairs and even a shower so you can rinse the sand from the beach. We also have access to a storage where we can borrow beach chairs, umbrella, a little bodyboard and even 2 bicycles. The beach is 2 blocks away, right in the end of calm street where studio is located. Beach itself is amazing, not crowded at all, has clear white sand and water stays warm until late in the evening. You also have easy and nearby access to a Food Lion, beach stores and restaurants. I recommend a visit to Southport ;)
