We had a wonderful time on the island and staying at Dawn's place. We were initially a little surprised at the amount of spiderwebs in the place and bathroom area that is outside, and how there was a relatively thick layer of dust atop all the curtains and elevated areas. The lamps also were filled with dead gnats, I'm sure it is hard to keep up with all the surfaces. But when we got our first look at the view, and spent an afternoon with the rain pouring outside, we really felt like we were in the jungle and fell in love with the location. It definitely feels like you are staying in the jungle, and there is a very local feel to it, and we loved that. The electric stove inside the house does not work well at all, but we were able to make our meals on it. There was a small leak in the roof during the heaviest of downpours, but it was in the center and not over the bed or eating area. Also, be prepared to get several mosquito bites every time you use the restroom/shower (unless you plan on wearing bug spray 24/7). But it was easy to keep the mosquitos and bugs out of the house if you make sure the doors were all properly latched. The bed was quite comfortable, there are plenty of towels, and very close to nice beaches. A superb location really. It can also get quite hot during the day as there is no A/C. But overall a fun experience staying in the cottage.
