The location was semi private, end of driveway, off of main road. But the road noise was still quite loud. It was reasonably close to shopping and restaurants, but it was difficult to get onto the busy highway required to go anywhere. The lounge sofa was terribly uncomfortable to sit on. The kitchen was small but adequate, just nowhere to sit and eat except table outside, not under cover and it was rainy. We did enjoy exploring the local attractions recommended. Our hosts were very nice and responded quickly to the couple minor issues that we had. It was avocado season, so with permission we got 3 for the road.
