Laila's place was so perfect! The location was incredible with a home-like feel to it and we absolutely loved Backyards Beach where we woke up and watched the surfers a few mornings. Thanks to Laila for this recommendation! We pretty much ate at Ted's daily for breakfast each morning--just a quick 5 minute walk from the condo. We loved everything about the North Shore and Laila was so easy to work with and accommodating throughout our entire experience. I can hardly think of 1 bad thing about this place. The only downside is that it's still a 10-20 minute drive into "town" depending on the time of day and traffic (especially coming up to and nearby Turtle Beach), but it was also nice to be on the quieter edge of town. The dogs in the homes nearby did some barking--1 barked quite a bit 1 night and the roosters woke me up promptly at dawn every morning, but if it bothers you, shutting the windows should easily solve the issue! Thanks for such a great stay Laila!
