Place is in a quiet area, but easily accessible to local shops - not very close, but sufficiently close that we walked a couple of time to the nearest commercial area. A car is necessary for further island exploring experiences. Public transportation was scarce. The beach across our condominium was by a lagoon with many turtles - they were swimming by our legs. We had just staying there for one of our vacation days. The unit was clean and had the essentials in the kitchen (spices, oil, soap, trash bags) to make easier when you arrive. Also, having snorkeling equipment was a good touch.
