Jose was very accommodating - picked us up at airport, help us set up boating trips, golf cart rental and took us to grocery after arriving. Also put up with my many questions both before and during trip. Location is terrific. Accommodations are as pictured. If you stay at Jose's, do set up private boating trips with his son Jamie. We did 2 and they were much better than the 1 group sailing excursion we took. He does have dogs- who are friendly and no problem (we are dog people)- but wanted to forewarn if you don't like dogs you should probably stay in a hotel.
