So this is the short version....AWESOME! The photos capture how gorgeous it is to a "t". Clean, lovely, comfortable. The owners of the property (we had the pleasure of meeting Jessica, the kids and doggy) are the most gracious, welcoming and accommodating people.
Their long term tenants and their doggy, (I only got Chrissy and Baxter's names) are also hospitable, friendly, willing to give travel tips and socialize or leave you alone. Truly sincere good people from the owners to the tenants!
Extended version:
we had such weird flight times. my friend and I were traveling with our kids, 5 and 11 years old. The family and tenants were unbelievably kind, accommodating, generous with their time, and really just wonderful. Honestly, wish we had more time just to get to know this wonderful group of people.
I could go on and on about them! All positive comments!
The actual space: cute, clean, cozy and perfect! Two bedrooms, both look out onto the ocean. Although you are not on the beach or in the water, (just a short car ride to several beaches) instead you have this brilliant view, every day, of lush greenery: orange and lemon trees (that you can grab a few of), coffee bean trees, bushes of birds of paradise flowers, and other flowers of which I don't know the names but are just as gorgeous!
The papayas and avocados weren't ripe when we were there but extraordinary to see and were offered if we found ripe ones! Chickens and cats roam freely around the entire island and we loved waking to the rooster crow!
This place is not a resort that caters to impossible whims from the mainland. It offers an authentic, local vibe that should be appreciated. If you are looking for a family friendly, warm well loved, charming place this is DEFINITELY IT!
This is a place for people who want a piece of island living at its friendliest and most beautiful! ❤❤
