First of all, if this is really Anita & Gerrie's place? I was told otherwise. In fact I was told that the owner of the property is an Jazz musician; one, who we asked to meet while there. (Did not happen). So right off the bat, I object to the property being referred to as Anita & Gerrie's place; it might correctly be referred to as Anita and Gerrie are property managers, offering many other services for tourists, while renting this place. Next, what you might expect is, Anita and Gerrie being heartfelt and welcoming with enthusiastic offers to offer you with anything at all, right down to car rentals, airport pick ups, etc. (after you've paid for the accommodation that it). After which, you'll likely experience bouts of silence from them when asking for such. In fact, what I received was an apologetic email for the long silence after calling them up on their offer for renting a car for us; "We were travelling, sorry, please contact so and so for car rental". So we did, arranged for our own car rental.
They were very cordial upon arrival, but appeared to be rushed in getting out of the place. Meaning that they both walked us through necessities … but no enough that it took us an hour to figure out how to a) open the security blinds, operate the light switches. All such important things that I believe the "real" owners would have taken time for. Honestly, it took us much time to figure out just how to open balcony doors.
In closing … what you can expect from Anita & Gerrie's place, which as I've learned is actually not "their" place? Is an fantastic beach home, that is not that well prepared for visitors. Expect to purchase basics, like milk (there will be coffee, tea at hand) toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen cleaning supplies, and expect to learn the running logistics of the home you are renting on your own. Having said all that? The property is amazingly magical. Wrong people representing the actual owner, is, my humble opinion. Anita and Gerrie were more interested in promoting their business, than representing the owner of this property. Aside from all this? Loved our stay there. Neighbours are fantastic, beach home is more than fantastic. First aid kit will also be an necessity.
PS. Sorry Anita and Gerrie. I spoke from heart. And the two of you? Just did not cut it. Wished you did.
