The cottage is much more adorable than the pictures. Ron and Karen were wonderful, giving us lots of space, but also chatting with us on the beach and providing lots of information on attractions and restaurants. The cottage is a hop, skip and jump to the very sacred Manini beach, which has fabulous snorkeling, beautiful views of the sunset, and a peaceful, grassy park to sunbathe in. The water pressure (and the shower head) in the shower are outstanding! Ron and Karen provide beach chairs, coolers, and snorkel gear (no mask goop though) for you to use and all are in great condition. We simply loved the charm of the cottage and our hosts. We look forward to visiting again! Some things to consider if you’re planning a stay though: If you don’t like bugs or mosquitoes like you too much, this is not the place for you. It is an open air cottage and you share the space with all the creatures of the forest. My new husband and I are loved by mosquitoes and came home with dozens of bites each. However, the mosquito netting on the bed works perfectly while sleeping and burning incense helps control them (it’d be nice if the lamps all had those bug bulbs in them to help also). Speaking of the bed, it is a full-sized bed, so a little on the short side and not very wide, my husband is only 5’11”, but could not really stretch out, and if either of us were not of average weight it would be a very tight fit for sleeping. The top shelf of the little refrigerator freezes things that are in the back. While I love cooking outdoors, the ants got into anything and everything while we cooked any meal, and any time you toss out any food scrapes we suggest you empty the trash. The rubber mat in the show works/feels best if it is under the rocks next to the grate not on top of the rocks (ouch). The sun beats into the bedroom space in the mornings, so keep the bathroom doors closed. The cell signal is very limited on the property and the internet connection is on the weak side. There isn’t much free counter space as there are lots of knick knacks, lamps, and statues in the cottage, so be prepared to make room for your things and then put things back. There isn’t really a ‘dresser’ type piece of furniture for your clothes while you are there. There is a gorgeous armoire in the bedroom space, but it’s a TV armoire (minus the TV thank goodness), but has no clothing shelves or bar and hangers available, so you are limited to living out or your suitcase with no real place to put it either as there aren’t any luggage racks. We used one of the foot stools from the living room which meant we were moving our luggage whenever we both wanted to relax in the living...
