Maile and her husband are two amazing hosts. They were very communicative upon our arrival, and the room was exactly as described. They even packed the room with cereal bars, fruit and water :) We felt really welcome on our first trip to the north shore, and the location is fantastic, just 2 blocks away from V-Land. Even more, our boards had been smashed by the airline, so they gave us a few spares ones to use until we could replace them, that was very helpful. They had bikes for us, which is perfect since the bike path that connects the north shore is right down there. Can't wait to get back!!
