Our family had a great vacation in the North Shore. My 10 & 12 year old loved the large yard, skating and pool. I loved the hot tub at night. We found great hiking trails nearby, surf lessons in Haleiwa, rented mtn bikes at Turtle Bay, and explored many local beaches. I wish I had stopped at Costco on the way up since Foodland is expensive but Foodland location is convenient for grabbing anything you need.
