Overall, we had a great experience. We unfortunately both caught some kind of cold while it was a little rainy on that side of the island, and everything felt damp all the time. But everything that Shanna could control was wonderful. What a unique experience. When she says "off grid," she means it. The solar went out our first night, but she quickly had it resolved. Thankfully, she had provided a flashlight and the listing recommended bringing headlamps, so we were fine. It's incredible to fall asleep to rain and wind and nature, and wake up to birds crowing and frogs chirping. You should know if you're thinking of booking this place, it's nothing like a hotel. That's not what you're renting here. It's the opposite of that. It was an experiment of sorts for us and we loved it.
Best perks: shanna offered us an amazing Rollinia fruit from a tree on her property, gave us the best places to go snorkeling, let us borrow snorkel gear, and texted us to tell us her coconut tree climber was coming over so we could watch! That was cool.
Thanks, Shanna!
