While we MIGHT have be able to make due without a vehicle at this location, we are glad we changed our minds when arriving at the port and rented a car. It's a 45 minute walk to town - a lot of it uphill. An ATV is another option - but not much cheaper than a car (but more fun and easier to park). Wait til you arrive - prices from the local car places were less than half of established places we found on the internet. The 3.5 bathrooms was a luxury we had not yet experienced in our travels. The main room and front porch were a great place to hang out as the breeze from the ocean came through the house.
