Herbert and Simone's place is a nature lover's gem. It's the perfect place to stay if you want to relax and go slow. The home is a retreat away from the crowds and noise of Placencia, yet still near several great places to eat and buy groceries as well as a public beach all within walking distance. There is also beach access at a nearby resort (as long as you patronize the restaurant) with lounge chairs, hammocks and cabanas. If you want to rent a car for a day or two, there's a place right down the street! The house is so airy and roomy with several comfortable places to hangout. Herbert and Simone were welcoming, attentive and quick to respond to our email questions - they live onsite, but were very respectful of our privacy and space. We enjoyed bird watching on the dock and above the treetops in the watchtower. This is by far one of the nicest AirBnBs we've been to. Without a doubt we will be coming back again!
