The positives: Honestly, that view. It really can’t be beat. We loved that the lighthouse was right above us, and when we drove up to the lighthouse and looked down, we could even see the house. WALLABIES came to visit! We spent a lot of time looking out the back window at the wildlife and fancy birds. The outdoor space, especially with the lights on at night was, in a word, magical. The beds and pillows were super comfy, and it was a bit cooler so I didn’t even use the fan. The location is unreal as well.
Now, it was VERY stuffy when we came into the house. The smell reminded me of an old farmhouse. We were concerned, until we realised it probably hadn’t been aired out in a while, so we opened up every single window, and then it was okay. Basically, if you’re the kind of person that likes everything super modern and a fresh-paint smell, I wouldn’t stay here. If, however, you like things a bit retro, this is for you! One thing to note, and I didn’t contact the host directly, is that there were a LOT of ants in the kitchen and bathroom. Big ants, and really little ants. We’re from Canada, so we don’t know if this is just a normal tropical location thing, but we wore our shoes in the house (which Canadians typically do not do).
I don’t want to dissuade anyone from staying here, and if you’re not too fussy, you’ll have a wonderful time!
