The house looks EXACTLY as the pictures. Everything in the listing describes the house and neighborhood to the tea. One highlight of the house that is not mentioned is the house manager Olga. She is WONDERFUL!!!!!! she cooked a dinner for us one night that was superb! Olga is the hidden gem of the house. She is so wonderful and warm and wants to make sure you enjoy your time. She is also very responsive, she helped us navigate the 1st couple of days of the trip.
We initially decided not to get a car and realized quickly that was not a good idea. A rental is almost required. Even though taxis are abundant on the island, its hard to find a taxi willing to pick you up from the house. I was in communication with a couple of companies, and the were very honest about our request. So, do not think twice, get a rental!
If there is one critique, as one of the other reviews mentioned, you will need bug spray. On the information given, it states that due to the tradewinds, there are not many mosquitoes on the island. I can say for sure, they must all be on the balcony. The house was equipped with bug spray and citronella candles, but that did not deter the mosquitoes. sitting out by the pool for 30 minutes, I got 12 bites on my back alone. I was bitten so much that we kept the doors closed and did not use the balcony as much as we intended. I know this is to be expected, but I was never bitten so much.
Would I stay at this house again? Yes. the views, the cleanliness, the pantry, Olga were all fantastic!
