I have to start out by saying the place is beautiful and the space is thoughtfully designed BUT comes with flaws. Although Anya’s self checkin directions were clear, it was more than weird, I felt like I was breaking into someone’s home. There are notes and rules all over the room and bathroom area. We have been renting vacation homes for 20+ years and I have never seen this: if you stain their bedroom sheets, they charge $40 to buy a new set. It’s more off-putting than welcoming as a guest. It’s part of renting your home out — the room and bedding gets used!
Showering at night after a long day of exploring the island and the second night after the Manta Ray night snorkeling (in the pouring rain), coming back to a cold shower wasn't ideal. Their main source of heat comes from the solar powered panels, there is a note that says you can text Anya to turn on the backup source, but being my showers were after 9pm, I didn't think that was polite.
Internet is very slow in regards to trying to connect my laptop to research and book activities - it was faster to connect to my personal mobile hotspot and wait for the internet to load, beach accessories are limited (dinky beach chairs/child size - pretty uncomfortable) and I didn’t think the shared bathroom would be an issue — but it turns out it set us back 45 minutes our first day when we planned to do a full circle tour of the island (very looooong driving day) waiting for the other room to finish their morning routine in the shared bathroom.
It was pleasant meeting the other guests and speaking with them. Be aware, there is a lot of activity in the house. We saw three other people other than the family on a daily basis. Besides all of the labeling in the rooms and bathrooms explaining how-to and how not to use use the space, I wish there was a welcome packet with local eats and things to do - I think it would've been more welcoming. The rules made it seem like I was staying at a strict family member's house. If you’re into an upscale hostel shared bathroom type of bathroom, book this place. Price point seems a little high for what you're receiving.
