Marie made us feel right at home. The layout to go from our room to the outdoor deck for grilling and up the tower to view the surfers was well thought out.

Room was clean and comfortable. Host greeted us morning after arrival. We were able to do laundry which was very nice. Fabulous sunrise view from the balcony and close to a beach for surfing. I encourage bringing ear plugs. Not sure if the singing frogs are seasonal but they are quite noisy. The bed was very comfortable and location was very central to the various sights to the north and to south of island.

Good value and location for the price. Facilities were a little dated but it was well maintained and clean. The birds sang very loudly so if you need quiet at night that could be problematic but if you enjoy the sound it is pleasant. I would stay here again.
