We stayed a month in the blue casita - live / work situation. The house was overall really clean, kitchen was great, living room comfy, pool awesome. The pool really made the heat livable! The upgraded wifi was stable so we could work easily. The guys who worked for Laura - Eli and Alton - were wonderful. Felt super safe and comfortable with them around. There were a few details that need upgrading (shower and faucets), but otherwise things in good shape. We loved heading inland for cave swimming and hiking. Bumpy dirt road to go into town - our SUV was helpful! Not a resort town at all… we shopped at the fish and fruit / veg markets, and lots of groceries in town. Laura popped in regularly to check if we needed anything.
