August 2018, two families, 12 people total.
The outside spaces on this house are amazing. The pool was small but great for cooling off. The "private beach" was fantastic, and the snorkeling right in front of the house was great. The views and the sunsets are perfect. Bring your snorkels! There's almost no shade but the house is always close by with cold drinks in the fridge.
Next to the pool there are steps down to a cave in the coral that fills with water at high tide and drains at low tide. Really neat. The steps down into the ocean provide easy access for snorkeling.
It's hard to describe but there's a walkway to a small sandy beach on an inlet that is technically off the property but not easily accessible to anyone else, so it's basically a private lagoon beach. Fantastic for kids to swim and plan in a secluded ocean area.
The house itself is just OK. The couch needs to be replaced, the kitchen is poorly equipped, and we had some air conditioner issues. The homeowner worked hard to get the A/C units all working during our stay, and after a few days they were successful on all but one. One unit was completely replaced so this should be corrected for future renters. The owner (Errol) was very friendly and very responsive to requests, and also really helpful with advice on things to do, transportation, and restaurants.
The property is in a very quiet location, set back from the road, but it was still easy to grab a bus into town or to the grocery store. There are a few neighbors close by that were always very friendly. There's a tall gate for added security.
Assuming the A/C is fixed, with a new couch, some more pots & pans, knives, glasses, and kitchen towels, the house would be as great as the location.
Tip: nobody drinks the tap water, so plan to buy bottled water from the store. It's about $1.50 a gallon.
Tip: we decided not to get a rental car for our group of 12, it was so easy to grab a bus. Buses run until 7:00 each night.
