This place is amazing! We loved being able to walk across the street to the beach. Yes, you do have to cross the highway but it’s more of a street than an actual highway. Loved the geckos and lizards that visited the back patio. I’m never a morning person but getting up at 6am was my favorite time to stroll on the beach. There’s definitely enough beach to walk on in either direction. EThere was plenty of cookware for the five of us to use. The beds were the most comfortable I’ve slept on! Also love the decor style. The north shore is a perfect place to stay if you want to get away from the city but still have plenty of access to the main tourist spots. During the time we stayed, it rained a bit everyday. But it always stopped within a few minutes and was never raining hard enough that we had to cancel plans. We chatted in passing with the hosts whenever we crossed paths and they were always so nice and offered advice on anything which was always welcome.
