You know how sometimes reality doesn't quite match the picture? Totally not true here: The reality is better than the pictures. Syndey's place is as cute and as awesome as the photos show.

My wife and I shared the upstairs room, which we loved partly because of its airy nature, and also because it looked out the windows over the lanai and towards the ocean. It was a special treat to watch the stars from bed. We spent many evenings out on the lanai while sipping a beverage and catching a cool breeze.

The kitchen was fully equipped; we made and ate most of our meals at Syndey's place.

A highlight, as others have mentioned, is the tour that Syndey gives around the property. Such a cool place. We picked an orange off of a tree and ate it.

We had to shoo a few geckos out the house one evening, probably because we left a door open for too long. But it was actually a little humorous, and we corralled the critters without too much effort. Seems like that's part of life living on the edge of the jungle.

We would recommend this place to just about everyone, except for during the weeks that we want to go back. :)
