My husband and I arrived late at night, so Rainey could not be there, but she gave us precise instructions on how to get to the place, and how to find the keys. The place was ready for us when we arrived, and she had left an impressive list of notes on how to find our way around the house, the neighbourhood and beyond.
The place is quite impressive, it is a very roomy loft with a direct view on the waves (from the upper level). It is about 100m from the beach, in a very quiet and safe area.
We were mostly here for the sea and the waves, and this place turned out to be perfect for us. There is no better motivation to get up in the morning than to hear/see the crashing waves in the distance (it has been difficult to sleep without them since we came back home). It could easily accommodate 6 persons, although we wouldn't recommend it for more than 4 if privacy is an issue (it is a loft after all).
Rainey was a very nice and thoughtful host. We are a young couple, so she respected our privacy, yet she made herself available when we asked to meet her to thank her in person.
We would definitely recommend the North Shore Loft for a visit to one of (if not THE) most impressive surf spot on the planet!
