This seems like a great home base for visitors looking to spend their time at the North Shore doing outdoor activities. There's only one major road in and out in either direction, so expect traffic. Fortunately, there's plenty to do nearby, including snorkeling, rock jumping, surfing, and of course, swimming. The food options are of the truck and shack variety, but that can be charming. The loft itself is modest, but simple things like separate rooms and a w/d combo were much appreciated. There's no A/C, as the listing indicates, but all you have to do is open the windows and let the sea breeze take care of things.

The neighborhood was very much local, ending in a cul-de-sac with neighbors in their yards and on their porches each evening. The vistas were gorgeous - the brightest rainbow I've ever seen greeted us on our final morning.
