Mary's home provide a true tropical local let high end experience. There are essentially no windows with lush views, inviting nature sounds (screened home), private pool. Secluded, yet in beautiful location with ocean views and close to some of the world's best snorkeling. Amazing recommendations of things to do by host. This home is NOT for those who are keen on AC, perfect quiet, shopping, entertainment, and hotel-like feel. We knew this and that's why we stayed here.
There were a couple of things that we were not expecting:
-The neighboring lot/ forestry land was recently demolished/cleared. This has resulted in a loss of privacy and diminished the jungle feel of the home.
-A neighbor has a roster that will crow loudly from 5:15AM onwards
Double check to make sure property is not reserved elsewhere (we had to make a minor change because of that).
Overall, very positive experience with an attentive host.
