A wonderful house/location! House was clean, spacious, and layout was amazing with private wings for parents and kids. Views from every room were amazing. Screened-in patio and deck views were breathtaking. Loved the outside shower, area for lounging in shade, and the very quiet/efficient AC in the house.
The snorkeling out from the house was great! Had a few calm days and a few more windy days when snorkeling wasn't as clear, but saw tons of different fish/critters. We took our own snorkeling gear and were glad we did. The kids loved the hermit crabs, other crabs, lizards, and snakes (only saw one) on the beach. Vicious mosquitos came out once the sun went down, so take repellent!
The beach was very private. We never saw anyone else on the beach! (other than landscapers for next door one day) Had fun finding "treasures" - sea glass and shells, the occasional stranded sea creature, coral.
Small grocery store literally a 2-3 minute walk from the house. So easy. We cooked a lot at the house and got most of our food from the bigger grocery stores downtown, but in a pinch the store by the house was great! And (currently) it's open on Sundays, when most grocery stores are closed.
We had a bit of a misunderstanding with Maria regarding our day of arrival instructions. (Make sure you have the arrival e-mail with the house address BEFORE you attempt to go through customs, as they will not let you into the country without it!)
All-in-all, an amazing vacation!
