Where to begin?
This listing was more-than-perfect for our family of 4. Here's the boring but important stuff...
1. pictures are accurate but the place is better in person
2. Well-stocked with all the things you'll need.
3. Air-conditioning functions... and we used it!
4. Conveniently located. Even has a store next door, which we used every day
5. Bikes are provided, which we used every day
6. Plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 big kids (10 and 14)
7. Basically all of the comforts of home... tv, netflix, good wi-fi, etc.
8. The place was spotless
Here's the stuff you really need to know...
1. Celvin meets you at the water taxi. Tells you everything you need to know about the house, the island, etc. He made us comfortable and made sure that we had what we needed (to the extent that he asked his daughter if we could "rent" her bike for the week because the bikes provided at the house were too big for my son. She agreed and was compensated :) which was awesome, made things so easy for us, and ultimately saved us money). Celvin also picked us up upon checkout and took us to the water taxi. He even arranged for our taxi from the water taxi to the airport. I was stressed about these logistics and Celvin just made it happen.
2. The house is perfect. The rooftop was beautiful in the evenings. There is just enough breeze up there to keep the bugs away. It was awesome.
3. The home is a quick bike ride in to town. The home came with 4 adult cruisers. This saves you money because you dont have to rent them. We opted not to rent a golf cart because we simply didnt need it.
4. There is a convenience store right next door. Well-stocked... ice, beer, eggs, snacks, OTC medications, all the things.
If you are on the fence about renting this place, just do it. You wont regret it!
