UNIT: Ray & Elsa's place was beyond fabulous! We felt very safe. The beach is so close and beautiful that we didn't want to venture out to other beaches. Our unit was very clean with extra ammenities that we didn't even think of. Their response time for any questions that I had was less than an hour via email/phone.
SMOKING: Their unit is non-smoking, which I really liked. There are two smoking areas on the property, which is another thing that was a plus. Didn't have to sleep, eat, relax, etc. in a place that stunk like smoke, but could still go to the smoking area, when I wanted to smoke. That's where we made a lot of new friends, actually. I am a smoker, but I do not smoke in my home or my vehicles. A lot of the places on the island have gone completely non-smoking, so smokers become outcasts that have to go to the street because the entire property is non-smoking. I suggest that if you are a smoker to find out whether or not smoking is allowed on the property. Most units everywhere on the island are non-smoking.
BEACH: My advice for people traveling to the beaches is to be mindful that there are sharks, which means stay in water that is CLEAR and always swim with a "buddy." Sunscreen of 15 or higher is important...even in October. Beaches are non-smoking and no alcohol. ISLAND: My advice for people traveling to the island itself is to remember to use bug spray. Just because the island is beautiful doesn't mean that there aren't bugs.
A/C: Ray & Elsa's place is one of the few that has A/C in the bedroom. A lot of units don't have A/C at all. There place has one in the open living room/kitchen area AND the bedroom.
My husband and I (after 10 years of raising a blended family of 3 girls and 1 boy) couldn't have picked a better place to spend our 10th anniversary and fall in love all over again. Thank you so much Ray & Elsa! We most definitely will be staying in your place again!
