First and foremost, the setting is as spectacular as the pictures and description indicates. Great view of the water from the house, the deck and the pool. The little private lagoon is indeed very private and when the tide goes out, you have your own mini beach. The house has obviously been designed to maximize sleeping quarters. There's not much open, living space, but this is the Bahamas, so you're probably not going to spend much time indoors. Still, if you have a large party there are likely to be times that this house feels a bit cramped. If you plan to rent for an extended time period and/or plan on preparing many meals at the house, you will find the house to be a bit challenging. It has all of the basics in the kitchen, but little more. In addition, the lack of a dishwasher and garbage disposal is a bit inconvenient. However, if you are only preparing an occasional meal, this will be no big deal. There's 2 pretty good restaurants (both on the water) within walking distance. Dario was able to arrange for about anything we needed. He was around when we needed him, but stayed away when we didn't, which was great. We chose to utilize the taxi that Dario arranged for us, rather than the bus; but there is a bus stop about a block from the house if you want to take that option. Overall, this house is a great retreat for any group that just wants to get away for awhile. We would definitely rent this house again.
