"Check-in is easy. Owner friendly & informative about property. Non public beach & dock shared with other renters was very nice & a great spot to see the sunset. There were fish jumping after sunset. I saw a stingray from deck early one morning. Flying Fishbone is right next to apartments. So you will hear & see the customers. The owners offered discount to eat there. There were kayaks & other beach things like sand toys & floats to use. Outside shower to rinse off. There is no hot water but it was still a comfortable temperature to shower. There was a stovetop, microwave, small fridge/freezer & coffee maker in our room & another shared kitchen if needed for more cooking items. There is parking on site. The best snorkeling we found is at Mangel Halto beach which is a 6 minute drive. If you like horseback riding, Rancho Loco (16 min drive) does rides to Conchi Natural Pool in Arikok Nat’l Park & have fun friendly staff. The horses are well kept & trained."

"This is not a luxury resort. It is everything you would ever want in a quiet, relaxing vacation where you feel like family and avoid all the hustle and bustle of a commercialized vacation. The family that owns and runs this resort make you feel very welcome! The chef prepares a wonderful breakfast each morning. He also took us on a private tour of the entire island! We saw things we would have never seen! We booked our next stay two days after we had been there and we are already counting down the days before our arrival! "

"The house is in a quiet location and a rare place to find with a beach in front of it. Our group of 9 enjoyed it very much and would definitely recommend.There are no bedrooms on the first level so if you have anyone with mobility issues that should be considered. I rather enjoyed my morning exercise however!"

"Seating was comfortable. Not enough shade for when you need a break from the sun."

"This charming getaway was exactly what my family needed. The host was wonderful!"

"We absolutely loved our stay! House is clean, location was perfect. Can’t wait to come back. "

"Great location, kayaks and paddle boards supplied!! Snorkel right off the beach. It is like a mini private resort. We will book again!"

"The location was absolutely fantastic! The palapa was a hit! When we weren't out exploring the island, we spent most of our time relaxing, swimming and snorkeling underneath it. We were surprised by the variety of fish we saw and even spotted a brittle star!The house comfortably fit all 8 of us and the kitchen was well-stocked for the many meals we cooked at home. Although we couldn't find any mixing bowls, so it might be worth adding a set. The outdoor kitchen was a great bonus!A few things weren't working during our stay — the outdoor kitchen's ice maker, the master bath jacuzzi, and the outdoor flood light required a call to management. They did respond to the flood light question, though we didn't get to use the jacuzzi.One suggestion: labels on the light switches would be a huge help! There are a lot of them, and we spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out what controlled what as some switches were in a different room. TIP for future guests — the outdoor flood light is controlled by two horizontal switches in the master bathroom; turn both to the right and you're all set!Overall, a memorable trip and a GREAT property. We'd love to come back!"

"The location of this house is beautiful, and the waterfront view was definitely the highlight of the stay. Waking up and looking out over the water was really nice and made for a relaxing atmosphere.Unfortunately, the experience had several major problems. The house had no internet for the entire stay, which was very inconvenient. We contacted the host about it, but no one ever came to fix the issue.Another problem was the bathroom. Every time we took a shower, water would leak out and run under the bathroom door into the rest of the area. This made a big mess and clearly needs to be repaired.Overall, while the view was great, the lack of internet and the bathroom issue made the stay much less comfortable than expected. Hopefully these problems get addressed for future guests."
