From the reviews

Super great! We had a lovely time. The owners were easy to deal with and super nice. The beach was beautiful, they had a great playground for our son, and the house was really cute. The beds were really comfortable. We plan to stay again.

Couldn't be any more perfect. No detail was left out at this place. The newly renovated beach studios are stunning. Just enuf room for 2 comfortably. Love the pavilion and cozy furniture, awesome fire pit, beautiful beach, and the water front hammocks. We love this place.

★★★★★ — Nikki, Aug 2017

We had a wonderful long weekend at the resort! Norm and everyone on the crew were so welcoming and friendly we felt right at home immediately. The cabin fit our needs perfectly, it was clean and cosy.

★★★★★ — Julie, Jun 2021

This place is magical. The cabin we stayed in was basically a fantastic little tiny house right on the beach. They worked very well for our needs, including providing a pack and play for our daughter.

Getting married at North Shore Resort

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
