The location is absolutely stunning- without a doubt. I loved it and would stay again. However there were a couple odd issues.
1) we were locked out of the second bedroom. I assume this was because host asked if it was just us (a couple). In fairness we didn’t ask them to come let us in, but since it’s advertised as 2 bedroom/2 bath we expected access to such.
2) there isn’t *really* a second bathroom. You enter the home on the ground level into a big open room. In one corner of the room there’s a toilet that has been wrapped up so that it cannot be used and there is a shower. The main living quarters is upstairs.
3) You must read what amenities are listed as being available. For example, there is a relatively new stove/oven but only the stove is listed as an amenity so you are not allowed to use oven (and to make sure you don’t, racks are removed and a big sign inside the oven says it’s not included). The same for the dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer. They’re there- but not listed as amenities and you are not able to use them. Host has a point that they didn’t list certain amenities so you shouldn’t expect to have access to them- I think it’s only fair that you do have access to the ones which are listed (second bedroom and a second functioning bathroom).
Better cleaning supplies would be helpful (wire brush to clean grill, adequate amount of dish soap and scouring pad for dishes since dishwasher is off limits)
Note if arriving on a Sunday, stores nearby are closed and your best option for a supermarket is in Ladyville.
All that being said, host has done a phenomenal job building out the upstairs. It’s clean, it’s modern, bug free. The ambiance looking out over the little lake was incredible. We enjoyed feeding the turtles and fish and even saw a small crocodile floating about. The baboon (howler monkey) sanctuary down the street should definitely be seen too. You won’t regret staying here- just heed the couple notes I made above so you know what to expect.
