I would book this home again--pros outweigh the cons.
Pros: It was perfect for two couples; there are comfortable bedrooms w/ A/C and bathrooms on either side of the house. The main shared space has amazing windows to enjoy the view from the front (gardens) and back (beach/ocean.) The big, quiet beach is only steps away, and it is a magical place in the world. We all stared repeatedly in wonder of the beauty. The barrier reef make the water glassy, there is great snorkeling, there are sting rays and black tip reef sharks swimming through constantly. (This is a good thing. :)) One needs only walk a few steps on to the beach to witness some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.
The property is gated and fenced, feels private and is beautifully maintained. There is a building with a gym/laundry/sauna and another large cabana building with outdoor kitchen all on about an acre.
The owners graciously and kindly accommodated our check-in time and staff had a lovely welcome for us. I don't want to ruin the surprise, but part of it included a generous supply of beautiful local fruit, which we loved. (There were a few other welcome surprises--nice touch!)
Cons:
1. This is likely a potential problem for all properties on the island, but there was an attempted burglary while we were there. When the four of us had gone into the water, a man was trying all the windows and doors to enter the home. I witnessed this, and he ran (and jumped over the fence) when I approached. Renters--keep everything locked up, including windows and doors, even when you are home. I wish the owners warned guests of being careful, but ultimately, it's our own responsibility to be vigilant.
2. The ad mentioned 3 kayaks and an outrigger canoe, but they weren't all functional. Only one kayak paddle was functional. We patched a second paddle with paracord, so it would stay together The third was beyond repair. The outrigger has also seen better days and no one was confident using it on the water. (It's patched with a stick.)
3. You receive an automatic driveway gate opener to use, but ours ran out of battery towards the end of the stay. We weren't given a key to get in the man door, so someone had to jump over the gate to manually open it. Perhaps give future guests the man door gate key as backup.
Despite the cons, I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The home is lovely and the place it is.. is one of the most beautiful on earth. It's a soul-soothing place.
