Karen is a wondeful host, and a very sweet woman. The location is amazing, walking distance to the bay and beach with unparalled snorkling. We are both outdoorsy camping types, and we knew that it was an open air cottage, but the mosquitos, and mongoose were a bit more than we bargined for. For the price of the rental we didn't want to feel like we were camping minus our tent. The bed is comfortable and we were grateful for the netting. However we weren't fully able to enjoy the rest of the space, inside or the gazebo because of the mosquitos. Our thoughts are that a substantial yard trim would help limit the bugs and critters without loosing any of the charm!
