Maria and Steve’s property is beautiful. It’s secluded enough to relax, but close enough to town in case you need anything. They do have dogs, but they’re very sweet and don’t really bother you. Downtown is about a 10-15 minute drive, and has PLENTY of restaurants and shops to entertain yourself for days. (I personally recommend Paul’s Place for breakfast) There are lots of spectacular things to do and see within an hour drive of this place. Maria and Steve can give you all the details you’ll need to see Rainbow Falls, Boiling Pots, Black Sand Beaches, Lava Flow, Uncle Roberts, etc. The area itself is quite spacious, perfect for two people. There’s a small living room with a futon-like couch and a TV and some DVDs. There were also some books, tourist guides, a puzzle, a deck of cards, just some things to do on a rainy day at home. The bedroom was nice and clean, with a dresser and a closet with adequate storage space. The bathroom was also clean, with a few amenities that came in handy a few times, such as aloe after a long day at the beach. They have body wash and a 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner, so come prepared if you need separate shampoo and conditioner. The back porch has the kitchenette area (which includes a mini fridge, coffee maker, tea kettle, sink, microwave, toaster oven, some plates and mugs and silverware, and storage bins for storing food items), which we really only used for making tea and coffee and storing our cold beverages. There wasn’t much in the way for cooking, but we ate most of our meals downtown and felt no need to cook. The back porch also has a nice little two seater counter to eat/drink at, with a small view of the ocean which we spent mornings looking at. Maria and Steve were very welcoming and very helpful. Maria greeted us at the gate and showed us how to work the gate, showed us the living space, exchanged phone numbers, and made us feel right at home. They provided us with bath and beach towels, coffee/coffee filters, rain ponchos, and a few odds and ends throughout our trip. We found out our tripod had broken during our flight, and Steve provided us with the tools to fix it. They provided us with snorkel gear, body boards, fresh fruit from their property, and occasional advice on where to go. Maria and Steve are usually right next door if you ever need anything, and if for some reason nobody is there, Maria is very quick to respond via phone. They checked up on us a few times to make sure we had clean towels and sheets. It’s obvious that Maria and Steve genuinely care about your experience and go to great lengths to ensure you have the best possible vacation. All in all, Maria and Steve provided us with a wonderful stay, and we hope to come back in the future. It really...
