As advertised, the Spoonbill House is off the beaten path. It is located on the west side of the island in a growing residential area. There is one small store down the street, aside from it, I believe you need to go toward the town center to buy what you need. During the daytime you may hear light construction noise, hammers and skill saws; it isn't terribly bothersome. There is a neighbor that likes to play music in the evening (mostly reggae), so I didn't really need a radio. There's a cute, long haired, brown dog that frequents the property. He is very friendly, will not jump on you, will not come indoors when you prop open the front door, but will bark when people or other dogs approach and will be happy to eat any unwanted leftovers. This is a two bedroom home on "stilts" and catches a wonderful breeze. Since there is no a/c unit, all that is needs is to open the windows and enjoy the breeze. If you that's not enough, use the provided cinder block and prop the front door open. If that doesn't help then you may not be human. Be sure to prop it open well, a strong gust of wind can blow it shut. One drawback is that the windows in the kitchen and in the bathroom are not glass, hence the house isn't airtight. This became an issue for me when a municipal vehicle sprayed for mosquitoes (after rainfall) and some of the fumes were blown into the house. There is no running hot water here so keep in mind that it may be best to shower during the warmer part of the day if you are not used to taking cool showers. Another thing to consider, because the house is located a ways from the happenings (approx 15 min bike ride), please understand that there is an unlit portion of the route from the house to town. Crime isn't really the issue here as much as safety. A flash light would definitely help when riding one of the bikes provided by your host. There are numerous potholes in these sandy roads and some sort of personal lighting would greatly assist you in avoiding potholes, puddles, and a consequential fall. A bright colored shirt may help you to be more visible at night to golf cart drivers and other riders. The fans, fridge, stove, and coffee maker all worked great. Wifi here was actually the best of ANYWHERE that I stayed in the country. Great connection speed and strong signal throughout the house. The bed was comfortable, as was the hammock. The bikes provided are a must if you don't wish to rent a golf cart, pay $5 BZ per person per trip for a cab, or walk. Bikes are the way to go on the caye. You'll probably be riding in sandals, slides, or flip-flops. Shoes aren't really necessary. All in all I my stay here was fairly comfortable. I...
