Oh the views! I loved starting and ending my days at the dining table, looking out over the bougainvillea hedge at the ocean. Mornings on the lanai, lunch outside at the table. Soaking in the grotto, roaming the property looking for fresh fruit and semi-hidden seating places. My son loved the hammock, and learning to use the telescope.
The home theatre was astonishingly well furnished. The reclining seats were very comfortable and the projector was a hit with the geeky types who watched many episodes of The Expanse, Dr Who, and Star Trek Discovery. I watched a fair number of Studio Ghibli movies with my son. The kitchen had everything we needed, except no ice maker, but we solved that with trips to the market. There is lots to love about this property — it is paradise.
For us, the only downside is that the bedrooms were small, and just barely fit queen-sized beds. There isn’t really room for the rollaway beds in the bedrooms, which became problematic with an 8 yo who was afraid to sleep completely alone either in the living area or the media room. Other than that, the only other challenge was with 6 adults used to king beds sleeping in queen beds. Let’s just say we napped a lot in the afternoons — which wasn’t too much of a hardship because with COVID-19, there wasn’t much else to do outside the house.
