Winter's Avalon is a unique home, with a wood walled central core consisting of a large bedroom with a sofa and easy chair and a bathroom with wood shutters and screens totally surrounded by a screened in living area and kitchen. The second bedroom is also walled in, but with wood shutters and screens to allow airflow. It felt like living in a jungle, without the bugs. The screened in watchtower was peaceful with a view over the lagoon. Access to the lagoon is via a short canal adjacent to the house.
The kitchen was very well stocked with spices, staples, coffee, etc. Just note that there is no microwave.
We loved our trips out on the kayaks and bikes. It was a bit far to ride all the way into Placencia, over an hour at a leisurely pace, but we managed it. While we rode on the main road, there are lots of speed bumps for the cars, so we felt very safe.
There are several very good restaurants and a market close by, together with Leo's car and golf cart rental.
