Linda was a welcoming, delightful and helpful hostess who was more than willing to accommodate any of our needs. We (myself and 3 adult children) used her place as a base for a few days and it was quite convenient for all of our day and evening trips...to beaches, snorkeling, waterfalls, beautiful botanical gardens, visiting friends, etc. We loved being around all the critters (horses, dogs, cats, & birds). The view was gorgeous with beautiful sunrises from the larger room and decks. There were plenty of clean beds, blankets, and towels. Since we rented the entire downstairs, we had the option of both indoor or outdoor showers. A family friendly rental in a lovely country setting with a local feel. Linda's love of animals is quite apparent...check out the myna bird nest on her porch! If you have an allergy to dog or cat hair, it's not the place for you. We would happily return there.
