This charming, well-designed, nicely decorated, and comfortable cottage was a memorable highlight of our trip!
On arrival, the location feels private and secluded, surrounded by lush but manicured growth and a chorus of coqui frogs after dark. The cottage itself feels new, and is thoughtfully designed and decorated. It's cozy and compact yet not cramped, with a place for everything and everything in its place.
Vacation rentals can often feel awkwardly arranged or laid out, or be equipped with cheap furnishings, but neither was the case here. Everything about the space - doors, walls, kitchen shelves, furniture, windows, bed, bathroom sink, shower, etc - is designed functionally and has an attractive, quality appearance that makes you feel at home.
We visited in October, which is hot and humid, so the air conditioning was great for cooling the cottage in the evening and keeping humidity low after showers. (The frosted windows in the bathroom that open to the outside are also nice for that.) We slept comfortably.
In addition to the space and the location, we really appreciated all the little details, like stocking the refrigerator before our arrival with local fruit and other food for breakfast, the string lights above the porch, the booklet of nearby activities and sights, etc.
It's clear that Rhea and Alden have put a lot of thought into what makes a pleasant stay, and truly enjoy welcoming and hosting their guests.
