We have very mixed feelings about this rental. The scenery is absolutely stunning and there are very charming places outside to sit and enjoy the view. The cove at the bottom of the cliff where the kayaks are is not private, but is very secluded. HOWEVER, the climb down to the cove is EXTREMELY difficult with loose rocks on very narrow crumbling stairs, bushes overgrowing the path, extremely steep, no handholds etc. It was also incredibly hot on that climb even in the early morning in August. If you are fit and enjoy hiking, it is a delightful challenge but it was 100% prohibitive for my aunt who is 60 so the kayaks are only available to those who can make that climb. Furthermore, the walk from the nearest road down to the apartment is also lots and lots of steps in a very packed touristy area of town so you will need to be able to carry your luggage and navigate some narrow turns while climbing stairs. There is an extremely nice porter who came to meet us and helped carry bags, etc. but the walk was still very difficult for my sister and aunt so they didn't drink at all while out. The cave was a little cluttered upstairs but very clean and fridge was stocked with water, cake, etc. The housekeeper who showed us around was very nice. We only met Rena in passing on the way out so this is not an airbnb experience where you will have a warm and welcoming host who can answer all your questions in person. Also, some of our hosts on the island had personal relationships with the drivers they arranged, but the driver Rena had pick us up was very rude to us. We told her that and said we would not want her to arrange our leaving but she did not address that directly and still asked us repeatedly if we wanted a driver and seemed a little pushy about it when she came by as we were leaving. Finally, we had asked about the kayaks before arrival and she did not mention at that time that they had to be reserved/scheduled and that she would not allow them to be taken out in certain wind conditions, so we ended up only being able to use them for an hour on our last morning. However, the kayaking was AMAZING and there is a place you can kayak to in 10 minutes and jump 20 feet into the water, which was really fun. I think this is the right place for someone who is outdoorsy and willing to rough it as long as you are ready to tip the help for some very difficult climbing on their part. No direct view of the sunrise or sunset but beautiful panoramic of the sky and sea.
