Our family had a wonderful time at Carol's place. It was just as pictured, spacious, clean, and close to the beach. Plenty of closet space and shelves to unpack and the 2 sinks in the bathroom made it much easier for 4 people to share a bathroom. The highlight of our stay was surf lessons for our kids with Carol's North Shore Surf Girls school. Overall, our time at the North Shore was incredibly relaxing and we wouldn't hesitate to stay at Carol's again.
