The North Shore Cottage was exactly as described. Very comfortable, very functional and we had a blast staying on the North Shore. The kitchen is small but very well stocked and even had some basic supplies like salt and pepper, tin foil, dish soap, hand soap, etc. which was helpful. All of the bedrooms were a great size with large closets and comfy beds (couldn't believe how comfortable the futon was!). With our windows open we could hear the ocean at night! Approximately a 30 second walk to 3 Tables Beach, a 3 minute walk to Waimea Bay Beach and a 5 minute walk to Sharks Cove and a 4 minute walk to Foodland grocery store. An outdoor shower, BBQ grill and washer/dryer made it all that much more convenient. We visited in mid-March and my only feedback (which is in no way related to the house...but just for people looking to stay in this area) is that the waves during this time of year were much more rough than we had expected...so our young kiddos couldn't do much swimming on the North Shore. That said, Sharks Cove was an AMAZING place to go since it was very protected and calm. Also, the beach at the Turtle Bay resort (maybe a 10-15 minute drive) is open to the public and protected enough for swimming. Another great nearby attraction is Happy Trails horseback riding (about 5 minute drive) which I'd highly recommend. Back to the house...getting in the house was easy as pie, all linens, towels, etc. were ready to go. Air conditioners worked great...really a great spot to stay. Also, I loved that there wasn't a GIANT to-do list left for us to complete upon checkout (some places we've stayed on airbnb have had a giant required chore list that was ridiculous). Overall, I'd highly recommend the North Shore Cottage with no reservations.
