Our flight landed earlier than check-in, and Donna was happy to let us check-in early if needed. Groceries were very expensive. I highly recommend taking Donna's advice to pack as many packaged foods as possible. You will still save on costs by paying to check the extra bags carrying the food items. We were a little confused about how to get to the Mango House even after looking at the provided maps, and unfortunately it couldn't be located using our GPS that we are so spoiled to using. However, GPS did locate "Key Lime House", which is located right beside the Mango Houses. The property is located about 25-30 minutes outside of town, so it may be wise to plan to purchase everything that is needed while in town. Gas was also expensive at over $5/ gallon. The house is beautiful, with finishes nicer than my own home. Most spices and condiments were already in the house when we arrived. There were 5 kayaks, a paddle board, beach chairs, life jackets, beach towels, an ice chest, first aid kit, and a delicious bottle of wine waiting for us. The beach is located directly in front of the house, and the water, depending on the tide, could be ankle or mid-thigh deep. My daughters, 8 and 12, we able to run and swim in an area about as big as 5 football fields without me worrying about them being in deep water or being swept off of their feet by large waves. We could watch them safely play in the water from the back porch while we grilled and enjoyed the hot tub. The beach is secluded. We saw no more than 10 people on the beach the entire trip. We kayaked into slightly deeper water and saw large star fish, sea turtles, and sting rays. We also used the boat to explore near by uninhabited islands where we saw a wall of conch shells made an unrooted tree, conchs, lobster, fish, and a small coral reef. One of the owners explained that there was a floating dock along one of the channels where fishing may be good. There is no snorkel or fishing gear at the house, but my husband purchased a rod and caught over 10 mutton snapper at that spot! The channels for the boat were somewhat difficult for us to find, but we took it slow and were cautious of shallow areas. When we did end up in shallow areas, we used the pole and paddle to navigate back to deeper water. We stayed at the house on windy days, and kayaked and boated on the calmer days. Without the wind, the house flies and gnats were pretty bad, so bring repellent! The Mango House was perfect for out family!
