We enjoyed a week in February with our 2 adult sons and their wives. There was ample space for the 6 of us to enjoy ourselves without feeling crowded. The photos are accurate and all the promised conveniences were there and in working order.

We spent most of the daylight hours outside. The beach was beautiful and virtually deserted, so very private! The water was warm for swimming and when the wind was not too high, good for kayaking. We found sets of wheels in the garage that were easy to attach under the kayaks to make pulling them down the sidewalk to the beach an easy task.

We really wanted to kayak in the nature reserve behind the house, but the water level was too low during our stay. Can't argue with Mother Nature, though.

The nature reserve is so close and so interesting to explore that we packed lunches and spent our first 2 days just poking happily around there. It's SO beautiful!

During the evenings we spent at "home" cooking for ourselves, we ate in the backyard under the little gazebo. The sounds of all the frogs singing at night was quite enchanting. There were virtually no bugs and no neighbours nearby during our stay, so we were free to talk and laugh outside without fear of bothering anyone.

There's a row of little restaurants an easy walk from the house - practically next to the entrance gate and easy to reach through a field. We ate there on our first night, and returned on our last night for beer and karaoke at the little bar. That night there was a huge group of friendly bikers there enjoying their annual get-together. We had great fun and always felt safe.

The only bumps we encountered related to temperature regulation in 2 of the bedrooms, which made sleeping a challenge at times. The other challenge was connecting with Nancy due to our Canadian phone not being reachable from her Puerto Rican phone. I had to route requests through Julian who, in spite of being out of the country throughout our stay, was very prompt in his replies. Nancy came right over to help. Clearly both he and Nancy care very much about guest comfort and satisfaction.

Our car rental agency (Mex) gave away the minivan I had booked (grrr). They substituted a sedan built for 5, so we had to pay an extra $100 each way to hire a taxi (in addition to the rental car) to get us and our luggage to and from the airport. Nancy connected us to Israel, a taxi driver reliable enough to show up at 5:00 in the morning to take us to the airport. Thanks Nancy!
