We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cute little home! It had everything we needed, and then some! The little kitchen was perfect for making our morning coffee, breakfast, and fresh fruit. There were lots of handy little supplies throughout...aloe gel, baby oil, peanut butter...we assume left by other travelers. There were tons of books and a few games for down-time activities. The bed was comfy enough and the balcony had a hammock and small table and chairs. We felt like we actually had quite a bit of privacy even though it was in the back yard of Monique and Maurice's home and the Wish Willy restaurant.

The food at the restaurant was some of the best we had on the island! We had the jerk chicken and the conch curry; they both came with delicious grilled veggies and were flavorful and filling. Seating is family style at picnic tables which is the perfect environment for meeting other travelers and locals.

We rented their 2-person kayak to paddle around a bit. We checked out the tarpin cove which was pretty neat and then paddled/snorkeled over the sea grass on the west side of of the island where we saw some huge sea stars. We tied up to a post and hung out on the boat with some rum punch. A great day!

The only difficulty we had at this rental was that it's tucked just enough away from the coasts and between other buildings that it doesn't get much of a breeze, making it hot and humid and causing it to house more mosquitoes than other areas. Monique has done her best to mitigate this problem by providing an over-bed bug net, 2 upright oscillating fans, repellent incense coils, and an electronic mosquito repeller, but it can still be a bit uncomfortable. We recommend long (but light and lose) pants and sleeves, bug spray, and spending time at their dock where you can usually find shade and a breeze (it's also a great place for sunset!).

All in all, we loved staying here and would do it again in a heartbeat! Monique was available and welcoming (there were 2 beers in the fridge when we got there!) and Maurice was friendly and generous. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer (they were already booked for our last night on the island), and that we didn't get to come back and chat on our last night due to nursing some STS (Snorkel Tour Sunburn -- wear a shirt even if you use sunscreen!).

Thanks again for a great stay!
