The living space is small but worked very well for our family of three. We cooked most nights and that worked well, though there are some good restaurants on the island. Heydi, who is the on-island contact, was responsive and had good local suggestions. We really liked having the pool two strides from the front door. I didn't think we'd use the pool much as we were out snorkeling, kayaking... a lot; however, we used it multiple times per day. We appreciated the sun shades over the pool and the pool toys. The other houses in the 4-unit complex use the pool too, which allowed our son to splash around with someone near his own age. There is also a hammock, table, and set of chairs that is just for use of the Pool House. The gnats and sand flies can arrive unpredictably on the deck so it was key to be ready to rush indoors or into the pool or at least to have bug repellant at arms' reach. I hadn't realized from the online picts but really appreciated that, as of now, the areas behind the house, to one side, and on the far side of the pool, aren't developed (has vegetation). So, it was more private and filled with birds than I expected. We were glad to have stayed there.
