This is a great spot on the North Shore! A short walk to beach access and Ted's Bakery (both just a couple streets over) and in a lovely quiet neighborhood right on the bike path so it's easy to get to Sunrise Shack, Foodtown, and many beautiful swimming beaches. The upstairs is very spacious, with lots of light and great airflow as well as a full kitchen (the pour-over coffee maker was much appreciated!); downstairs has less light so good if you like to sleep in dark rooms. Both have very comfortable beds and fans / AC units if it gets too hot (I only needed the ceiling fan upstairs). It can be a little awkward to use the outside staircase every time you need the bathroom (esp at night or when raining) but not much of an issue really. There are beach towels, bikes, washer/dryer and a handy clothesline on the balcony for wet bathing suits, which we made good use of! We had a couple small communication confusions but J. Marie was very responsive and accommodating throughout and she made the check-in/check-out process super easy. If you're heading to the North Shore and want a nice homey place to stay, I recommend the Hula House!
