Teri is fun to talk to & interested in making improvements to her property. Her assistant, Max, is terrific, super helpful and very nice.
The tortoises are wonderful & like to have their necks rubbed ~ there are even baby tortoises. It's nice to feel that we are contributing to their care.
Teri's house is about a 3 minute walk from a nice beach with shallow water good for swimming. Max will lend you a couple of beach chairs & beach towels. It's a nice beach for watching the sunset. There's a lot of shade or sun on that beach.
You don't have to have a car to get into town but I wouldn't want to walk back to Teri's after dark as Front Street is heavily trafficked. If you plan to snorkel up north you'll need a car. There is some public transportation but didn't go as far as we wanted to go.
The entry gate is very heavy so I was glad to have my husband or Max available.
The rental rooms are upstairs through the house, good to know in advance. The shared shower worked out fine. You can hear if your neighbor in the shower, or just knock & ask.
We really liked how quiet the neighborhood is! You'll feel much more like a local. There is a Buddhist temple at the end of the street ~ beautiful.
WiFi is available but at an extra charge, so we didn't bother as it's available for free at coffee shops, etc.
