The cozy cabana is just that! We totally enjoyed our stay and couldn’t ask for a better experience.
The space has everything you could need and a little more. The cabana is set on the back of the property behind the restaurant. We weren’t sure how close that was going to feel to restaurant guests. You’re definitely right there but we had no problems with feeling like people were too close. When we wanted to feel secluded we closed the drapes and shut the door.
There is an air conditioner for an additional charge and we never felt we needed it. All of the windows are screens with shutters and at night we just left them open and turned on the two fans. It was perfect. We were seldom in the cabana during the day. If we had been there may have only been one day we wanted to use the AC. We were there late March/early April.
The shower only has cold water and that was also never a problem. It was larger and more open than I anticipated. A welcoming space after a humid day. Something noted around the cabana is that sunscreen stains the sheets, so please rinse off before getting in bed. So expect to have to take a cold shower at night. Wasn’t an issue for us, but something to be aware of.
Mo had a very helpful booklet of info about the cabana and the island. I would recommend waiting to book any excursions until you’ve seen her recommendations.
Also - eat at Wish Willy! It was sincerely the best food we had and the atmosphere at dinner matches the cozy feel of the cabana. We wished we’d dined there more than the 2 times we did.
The only thing we’d been expecting was to use the private dock. It was being redone when we arrived. Mo apologized several times and reiterated that it just wasn’t safe for use. Again, wasn’t really a problem. There was a space to get in the water not even a block away and we were perfectly happy there.
A surprise we found most exciting was that the cabana had fresh water! We were expecting to have to buy fresh water and Mo had both a large dispenser of room temp water in the dispenser and a gallon of cold water ready in the fridge. She also has two cold beers waiting for you when you arrive. We didn’t drink them, but a sweet touch worth mentioning.
Overall, a very enjoyable experience.
