Great Deck/View — Be Ready for “In-Town” Noise Small Bedrooms
The house is blessed by a great deck and large outdoor living space — with a spectacular view of Drake’s Bay. The location is convenient to everything in the small town and a 4 minute walk to the main beach where you get boats various places to visit (snorkeling and national park).
Kitchen was nice in that it opened on large deck, but it was not well stocked with pots/pans and material for cooking (fridge was broken on our arrival and small “temporary” fridge was provided promptly for our use during our stay).
One of best features for some of us, was outside shower with open view on to the bay.
We also benefited from introduction from owner to Elsa — travel guide who arranged for our day trips (and even led our wonderful snorkeling trip).
The “three stars” is because, while the outdoor living space was great…you could not/do not spend all you time outdoors when home (hard at night to linger outside given light naturally attracting varieties bugs). The indoor spaces are not “great.” Bedrooms all benefit from having separate AC, but are all very small and the two on back of house are on the Main Street (small/unpaved) in town and motorcycles/car noise throughout the night. If looking for “jungle experience” this is not it.
No rooms had views as you needed to keep closed to keep bugs out — so going to your room meant going to small enclosed box and very firm beds. The common space indoors was not designed for living space — but for common/shared large hallway.
