Kurt's home was exactly as described. Clean and cozy studio steps away from the beach and within walking distance of Ted's Bakery and Sunset Beach. Also, a short drive to Foodland and other beautiful beaches like Laniakea (Turtle Beach) and Waimea. I would suggest making use of their bikes (especially if you don't have a car) as there's a great bike trail that takes you along the road for the awesome sights and sounds of North Shore. If you do have a car, they have a driveway, which was great so we didn't have to worry about finding parking. The washer/dryer also came in handy and was a definite plus. We didn't get to meet Kurt, but we had a great stay and would definitely recommend his studio if you're ever in North Shore!
