The landscaping and appearance of the home is exactly like the photos. We took a lot of lovely photos here as the sun was going down. There is a little wear and tear from the ocean air. Bugs will be attracted to the lights at night, so follow the guestbook instructions and keep the screens shut! The stars are exceptionally bright at night as there is little light pollution in the area. This is a sleepy area with few restaurants nearby. The town is a 30 minute drive from the house, so be prepared and get everything on your list if you don’t want to spend too much time in the car. There are areas to swim and snorkel nearby. When we stayed, there was snorkel gear to borrow. Expect sudden rain. It doesn’t typically last long, but is exciting and the reason why this area is so lush. Come here to escape from the chaos and have a more down to earth experience.
