We really enjoyed spending time on the front porch, watching the birds (the hummingbirds are very entertaining) and various lizards. While there, we also saw iguanas, frogs, a spider almost as big as my hand, a garden snake, and some very interesting insects. Location is great - a close walk into town, but far enough out that you can enjoy being surrounded by nature. Your walk to/from town involves passing several grocery stores, so very convenient if you want to make food. It's also really easy to catch a cab from the main road, as they pass by frequently. There are occasional insects that appear inside, but nothing scary. Though, you may want to shake any clothes/shoes that have been sitting overnight before putting them on, to wake up any beetles that chose to sleep in them that night.
