This place is fantastic, and the owners represent it very honestly. If you like what you read, you'll love it here.
We are on our honeymoon, and wanted a private, affordable spot, and after finding this place and looking into Caye Caulker, we decided to spend ten days here. My only regret is that we didn't give ourselves more time here.
The house site is ideal, with incredible views, privacy, and a lovely veranda so you can be comfortable outside, no matter the weather.
The home is well laid out and nicely stocked with everything you'd need in the kitchen, bathroom, and living area. The owners communicate clearly and often, so its easy to prepare yourself for your stay.
The caretakers are nearby and very friendly and accommodating, although all we've needed is a quick adjustment on the height of the bike seat.
The bikes are great old cruisers with beer crates attached so you can bring anything you need with you.
We felt like locals from day one with this set up.
A word on the rural island lifestyle:
The path you ride is potholed, can be muddy, and you'll see iguanas, crabs, birds, we even saw a snake! There are bugs that bite and itch. The neighbors have dogs, they're not too close, but you'll hear them bark. You'll hear small planes take off and land in the daytime, and along with the sound of birds and fish in the water, you'll hear motorboats. Even so, the nights are quiet and its incredibly tranquil...and we live on 200 acres at home, so our criteria for peace and quiet is very high.
The power system works great, we can charge our smartphone and there's an outdoor light on all night so you can find your way. We have off grid experience, so we know how to be thrifty with our power use.
The water has good pressure, shower is hot! You'll hear the water pump when you use the water, which helps us remember to conserve.
If you can't handle nature, like mud, bugs, and reptiles, and value convenience over privacy, this is not your place. If you're looking for an authentic, peaceful experience, this place is perfect!
