This was a fantastic place to stay. We were away from it all, and that was on purpose, but were able to drive to the beach and restaurants (2.5-15 miles, depending on where we wanted to go for dinner). This is a garage-adjacent unit, with the pool, hot tub, and hammock placed in front of the (beautiful) main house. We were able to use these amenities freely and comfortably throughout our stay. The landscaping is gorgeous, the view from the pool area fantastic, and even from the guest house you get a decent slice of the ocean from the bed. Pretty great way to wake up.
Food prep was something I had worried about, but I didn't really need to. There was a full sized fridge/freezer, (stocked) propane grill, rice cooker, toaster, toaster oven, microwave, hot plate, electric skillet, blender, and drip coffee maker (and really delicious local coffee grounds!!!). So while there is no range top or oven, I would have been able to make just about anything other than maybe a giant pot of soup (and why would I want to make a giant pot of soup on a tropical vacation, anyway?!). I had asked ahead, and was informed there were quite a few condiments already available. There is a small grocery store 5-10 miles away, with a fruit stand and gas station even closer. That being said, check in with the hosts first about groceries as they may have other helpful options.
The decor is thoughtfully designed. The space is a studio apartment, which met our needs perfectly. As the description indicates, this is a space best suited to 2 people (or 3 if you are veeery comfortable with each other in a small open studio). The mattress is soft and the towels are fluffy. There is not a bathtub (usually a requirement for me on vacation) but there is a handy shower stool. Some toiletries were available, including shampoo/conditioner/body wash, as well as odds and ends that were nice in a pinch.
All this to say, we had a lovely time. Our hosts were available but allowed us privacy. The property, especially the pool area in front of the main house was amazing, and we were able to reach anywhere we wanted to go with a quick drive. Thank you, Emily, for the use of your space during our vacation!
