We were greeted by Jaqi and Taylor, both super sweet. Prior to arrival the communication back and forth was perfect. The house resembles us, it felt like home right away. It is a bit funky, out of the box, like a cabin in the wood. The toilet is compostable, and outside, the shower is outside too. What a pleasure to shower outside under a big canopy of trees! The first night we were soothed by the sound of the frogs and sometimes wakened by the banging of ripe mangoes on the roof. That was quickly fixed by Taylor when we mentioned it. A big tarp was hung over the house to collect the falling mangoes, our following nights were perfect. Do come here if you like a bathtub under the stars, if you are happy to walk on muddy ground to find yourself in a tiny house that feels magical. Like underground, a little cave wonder, under more greens than i remember ever seeing. We felt carried by a sweet energy, at night we felt we were in a boat, with rain falling, frog singing, cuddling in a comfortable bed. We did plant some coconuts on the lava ground by the Wednesday market. An experience suggested by the host and we highly recommend it. To walk toward the ocean, to be part of something much bigger than us, the replantation of life on a big black empty landscape. The whole scene of the Wednesday market is fabulous. The food is too.
Ask if you have any issues, Jaqi and Taylor are super host and will help you. If you seek charm and a unique experience, funky and down to earth. This place is for you.
