It's a great place. But it does have its quirks.

I think that the listing and other reviews mostly capture it all pretty well: It's a pleasant quiet place a ways from town, great for a bit of solitude and relaxation but close enough for fairly easy access (15 minute bike ride). Caye Caulker is one of the more laid back places to be found anywhere and this house provides a particularly laid-back way to experience it.

I'd only add a couple points. First, I'd suggest that for many people the house is probably better suited to the dry season than the wet season. This is for two reasons -- parts of the path can get very muddy, and also the house power is pretty reliant on solar to augment what comes from wind. We were at Indigo Pearl for a week in late November (tail end of wet season), with some rain but not a lot. For most of that time, most of the path was dry but some parts were covered with water and mud/puddles up to around a foot deep. And when it rained heavily for an hour or two one day, something like a third of the path to town was covered in water around 6" deep, and deeper where it was muddy to start with. This wasn't a problem for us, but I'd think that if there was rain every day it'd be a real mess and you might not want to plan on daily trips to town. Also, there were some troubles with the power system, complicated by the fact that it relies heavily on solar which doesn't work so well when it's cloudy. We had a night without power and a night without water due to various idiosyncrasies with the power/water system (we were conservative in our use of both), and complicated by the lack of sun when we needed it. The fellow who looks after the place is great all around, and he did his best to get everything working. When everything works, it's terrific and peaceful and pleasant with coconuts waiting to be consumed, a funky but totally functional dock, birds all around, etc. Oh, and for what it's worth - we saw almost no sign of mosquitos anywhere on Caye Caulker, and likewise for sand flies.

For any who may be wondering -- it seems like swimming and snorkeling could be worthwhile from the dock, around the mangroves, etc. It's nothing like the quality of the boat-access reef snorkeling (which is pretty incredible), but looks like it could still be entertaining with lots of little fish and stuff. The water in Indigo Bay was clear and still for our first two days, and then churned up by high winds/waves, so we didn't have a chance to check it out.
