Emas place is exactly as described. You probably won’t find anything priced cheaper on the north shore - which is a big plus! That being said, don’t expect to have a resort experience. We were perfectly satisfied with our stay, and it was exactly what we needed and were planning on. Bed was comfortable and I was initially concerned about no AC, but there’s a fan that kept it plenty cool at night. Nice water pressure in the shower for getting all the sand off your scalp. Loved the beach chair, umbrella, and boogie boards that were available and we used them everyday. We always felt very safe even with the lack of front door. If you are looking for a home base to basically just shower off and sleep after a day of activities, this place is perfect. If you’re wanting to spend a lot of time hanging out at home, it might not be for you. The bedroom and bathroom were safe from bugs if you kept the doors shut, but I couldn’t spend very much time in the living area without getting bit (I’m also very prone to bug bites, my husband didn’t have as much of an issue as long we had the smoke repellents lit). I think the rest of the reviews do a good job of summing it up as well. All in all we had a good experience, and would maybe stay again depending on the type of trip we wanted to have.
