We had a great stay on the North Shore. The beach and amazing waves are directly across the street. The lanai at the house is perfection- we spent most of our time hanging out there, enjoying the beautiful weather. The downstairs neighbors are also wonderful. They made us feel at home and were one of our favorite things about our stay! There are big dogs on the property (as noted in the listing) and would recommend the house particularly for those who are comfortable with dogs.
