Brad is a great owner and host, and he made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. Check-in was quick and easy, and the location was easy to find. If you're driving up from the airport in Placencia, it's about a quarter mile past the "rumble stip."
Lucas, the local contact for the owner, was perfect. He gave us lots of local tips for food and drinks, answered any questions we had about the property and the area, and was able to take care of the few personal requests we had.
If you're renting a car, BEWARE THE SPEED BUMPS! They're called humps, bumps, and ramps in various places, and all three names apply. They WILL cause permanent damage to your rental if you're not careful.
The house was fantastic. The back deck has a great view overlooking the back yard and pool, with the beach and ocean a hundred yards or so further back. The kitchen is well equipped, we enjoyed several meals there. The entertainment options are pretty good too, if you don't want to spend all day lounging by the pool or on the beach. Both are pretty hard to resist..
Local dining is pretty good. Maya Beach Bistro was our go-to, and we had meals at Bonefish Grill and the Green Parrot. Our best meal was at 1981 at the Maia resort.
Overall, this was a great vacation experience because of Brad's property and Lucas's local knowledge and hospitality, and I can't think of a single thing to complain about!
