Jockey’s Ridge State Park is just a half mile away.

The Focsle is a cute beach cottage with great vibes. It was well equipped to provide a terrific home away from home. Great location to the beach, dunes, shopping, gyms, etc. Perfect for a small family or close friends.

It's a perfect size for two people or a small family.

This property is in a great location. Very easy access to the beach and quiet even though it is across the street from the beach.
The house was very cute and cozy. Decorations and everything you need was there! Plenty of space to unpack and store luggage/bags while there for the week. The deck was great and had plenty of sitting space. A HUGE PLUS for this house was the outdoor shower! The shower head was removable and was greatly appreciated since our daughter is young and it made it very helpful rinsing her off every day!
