My husband and I spent 4 nights in this dream place.
Bruce was very helpful in the weeks leading to our trip. The services he offers were extremely appreciated by us.
Bruce’s partners wife, Sonja, came to meet us at the airport, and the rental place they recommended- Brads Car rental, had a rep there for us. He took us to get our car, and we followed Sonja. (It was much easier to know how to drive on the left when you are following someone). Soniya took us to buy some essential foods and even more essential liquor:), and then we followed her to the private gated community.
She showed us around, there was already wonderful dinner prepared by Andrew waiting for us, as well as the other food items we asked him to prepare for us. There was also water cooler in the house - that is a must here.
Once we were in, I could barely wait - didn’t even unpack. Went straight to the beach - which was in our back yard. Our own beach. It was amazing.
The back porch of the house is where we lived for the first few days.
That is all we did the first night, enjoyed the charcuterie Andrew prepared for us , and some wine and bubbles, while sitting on the beach right behind the house. There were two loungers and chairs for comfort. We stayed out there the whole night.
The same for the next day, porch and beach, and beautiful food prepared by Andrew. Not a single bug bothered us. I thought I picked bug spray for no reason.(bugs came on third day)
Our local experience- my husband hit the local CrossFit- super friendly people.
Janice, from the rentals place, hooked us up with her husband, Les, and we went fishing. Les is good people, we had fantastic time! He was super nice, down to earth, aware and helpful. He made sure we got the barracuda!
We got to experience a few other locals places. We went to the marketplace, of course. We had a quick bite in Agave with the best rum drinks ever, and spent the afternoon at Flying Fish, enjoying elevated cousins and extraordinary service.
Just up the beach next to the house was Banana Bay- fantastic beach restaurant with elevated food, awesome beach deck, and a sandbar where you can take a chair or lounge and go hang out- in the middle of the ocean:). And that is walking distance to our house:)
Overall, while the kitchen had everything- it can use organizing and a deep clean. Decor is somewhat dated, but layout is amazing! It was perfect for us! Waking up to 180 degrees of ocean is incredible.
Thank you, Bruce!
