This cottage is a great place to stay in Placencia. Lots of room, clean, fantastic air conditioning, a nice kitchen and good water pressure in the shower. Ed & Flo were very quick to respond to the few messages I sent before and during our trip. The onsite caretaker, Carlos, is a great guy. Super friendly and happy to assist with anything you need.
There are only three things I would recommend you keep in mind when booking.
1) The location shown on Airbnb may is way off. Even the marked extended area is not where the cottage is. Ensure you look-up the location of AQ Car Rental, as noted on the listing, to know where you’ll be staying north of the airport. Get a golf cart and enjoy the private cottage and explore both up and down the peninsula.
2) The cottage is not down by the water. From the porch you can see a bit of the water in the distance, but you’re not overlooking the ocean. Their other rental is right on the water. Being set back does have both pros and cons.
3) Know the ocean does its own thing. When we arrived, the algae along the shore was heavy and stinky. Not a beach to visit and we were glad the cottage was further away. Later in the trip the algae was mostly gone and the waterfront was so amazing to walk. The change was night and day.
I would stay at this cottage again in a heartbeat. Hopefully that next visit will be sooner than later. Overall, we were really pleased.
