We really enjoyed our stay at Vanessa's family home. The downstairs area had a bed, a restroom and sink, and a really large fridge.Most importantly , it was a great home base for me and my girlfriend on our North Shore surfing trip.The home is a short walk to v-land, so checking the surf out front takes only a few minutes. and if the vland lineup is too eggy for you, freddieland is a great spot for longboarders / beginner intermediates too.highly recommend this home for anyone on a surfing vacation especially, you can't do much better location-wise.
