It was like staying at a family lake cottage: well-loved, a but rustic, but comfortable and with just enough amenities. For us, perfect, but not for everyone (i.e. people looking for more of a resort-type accommodation. If you are the type who would be put off by mis-matched silverware or glasses this place is not for you.) We especially loved the huge covered deck and spent most of our non-beach time here, enjoying the view, reading, swinging in the hammock. The book shelves are filled with many years worth of beach reads - it was nice to have the time to plow through 2 of them during our stay. There is a good supply of beach chairs and snorkeling equip. We travelled from 30deg temps in new england and so relished the heat and humidity, but we were also grateful to sleep in the air conditioned bedrooms. The location was perfect, really close to town but surrounded by lush bougainvillea. Close to Melones/snorkeling, central to routes to other beaches. Ann, the property manager lives downstairs, but we never really saw her. At the same time she was very accommodating and easy to reach.
