This was one of my favorite vacations; maybe my favorite.
The island is fantastic! We rented the SUV with the house, which was a great thing to have! The house manager had it waiting for us at the airport when we arrived; and with 3 young kids, we were very thankful for this and not having to wait for a golf cart or jeep rental.
We found the house manager and owner to both be extremely responsive. They had great Information on the area and were so helpful for it being our first time to the island.
The house itself is very clean! There are some lizards and ants that we saw get into the house, but we were expecting this. The house has plenty of cleaning supplies and had some spare trash bags, toilet paper, etc., to get us started. We were able to keep the home clean enough to not have any ant/bug problems, thankfully!
The home does stay very cool! We kept the blinds closed when we left each day, and it only took a bit to cool down significantly once we returned between fans and AC units.
The WiFi is a tiny bit spotty, but honestly MUCH better than we expected.
There was one item that I didn’t realize when booking, and that is that the second bedroom is in the same “room” as the rest of the house. There are curtains to pull for privacy, though, and it also helped keep in the cool air from the AC unit.
The yard is shared with another home at the top of the hill, but it still feels very very private. We enjoyed the expansive yard, and my kids loved climbing the tree and smelling the gorgeous flowers.
Overall, terrific place! The owners and manager are very thoughtful, and they do their best to get you what you may need for your stay (towels, cleaning items, beach chairs and cooler, etc.). I hope we can return one day, and I’d love to come back to this cozy home! :)
