This is a really cool little house, and is exactly as described. Ben is a great host and made sure we knew everything we needed to when we arrived and got settled. Property manger is very responsive. House and pool were very clean and everything is well cared for. Grounds are gorgeous. I gave the place 4 stars instead of 5 for the following reasons, there are some things a traveler should know before they go:
House is pretty remote. You should research the area and be sure it is right for you. Outside of the one gorgeous black sand (nude) beach that is walking distance, be prepared to drive a lot. A trip to town to the grocery store or a restaurant is 15-20 minutes and it’s very dark at night. There is no cell service for the better portion of the drive. The surrounding area is extremely loud at night, the frogs sound like they have bullhorns and they don’t stop. I found it difficult to sleep. The suns comes blazing in through a skylight right over the bed and it’s too bright to sleep past 7AM or so. If you are a light sleeper or you want to sleep past 7:00 AM, bring eyeshades and earplugs. That would help a lot. I would definitely return to the property or rent any other properties Ben may have in the future. He does a nice job, but I thought these things were worth mentioning to anyone considering a trip to this area. In retrospect I would still have stayed here, and I enjoyed it very much, but I would have planned things a little differently. That’s on me, not Ben, but be sure you know before you go exactly what you hope to do/see and map it out accordingly. Have fun!
