This place was what we dreamed of. Easy location to beach, shopping, and snorkeling, but yet not a high traffic location. House was stocked well with anything needed for cooking and also hanging out on the beach. The house was very clean and well kept. We enjoyed the deck and the shade to relax when we weren't out and about.

There is no beach or ocean view as it’s blocked by a jungle of foliage…but it’s lovely and there are so many beautiful birds…the beach is 1/2 mile away

We're so glad that we found this place. It was even better than we expected - great place, great host, great location. The house comfortably bedded 6 of us (four adults, two kids). The place is really nicely cared for, with trees surrounding the entire property, giving it a hideaway feel. The two primary bedrooms both had sliding doors to decks, and the bathrooms were large and modern. The kitchen was big and very well appointed - we cook a lot, and found everything that we'd need, and a bit more besides. We had all of our meals on the deck under the flowering trees.The two bigger bedrooms have very comfortable mattresses. The beds in the smaller bedroom have softer mattresses. They worked for our kids, but might be a bit softer than some folks need.The hosts made our check in really easy, and left a bag of travel items just in case we'd forgotten something. It was a very welcome entry to the place. The house had beach towels and chairs, boogie boards - pretty much everything that we needed to just hop right down to the beach, which is a five minute walk.The beach had gotten washed out over the winter, so it wasn't quite as wide as it sometimes is, but the area feels very chill and not quite as overwhelmed with hotels as some other beach towns.Five stars, will plan on a repeat visit!

This cottage is tucked into a lovely neighborhood.The home is well maintained and offers both inside and outside living. It was decorated with motifs that reflect the lush landscape and culture of the island.The host provided every possible convenience you might find in a home. Our communication with the rental group was exceptional. We were very pleased with our choice to rent from this group and our experience was top notch.
