Funtastic Memorial Day Weekend

Sugaree Shores was the perfect vute quaint little house for me and my party of 5. We enjoyed the pedestrian side of the beach which seems to be serene and peaceful. We grilled and stayed the entire afternoon/evening on the patio/porch and it was amazing. The drive to the beach was not far at all and we were able to park for free and get a nice set up spot before the crowd came. I would definitely stay at this lovely cottage again.

Quick Getaway

The property is pet friendly. They had a small fenced in yard, which is not the norm for that neighborhood. Check in had a snag. We arrived at 4:02 for a check in that was listed at 4 and the cleaning lady was there until 4:32. The property contact was quick to respond after I called. The fans are thick with dust. We ended up wiping down the fan in bedroom. All in all, it was a good stay and close walk to water.

Cozy & Comfy

Spent a wonderful Thanksgiving here, getting away from the city. Was looking for something cozy and quiet. This place delivered. Very clean and well cared for property. Upon arrival, the code to get in didn't work, but owner was responsive and apologetic and managed to get the door open for me remotely. (It wasn't until much later that I realized I was bugging her right in the middle of Thanksgiving Day and she was nothing but nice about it). And ditto again when we managed to lock ourselves out and had to yet again bug the owner. Highly recommend.
