#1 SAFELY protected by a keypad, a lock, & padlock #2 LOCATION is walking distance from the airport, and the beach, as well as the Store Bay vendors (Marcus fruit stand with coconuts & pineapple chow highly recommended!) Then just another 10 min walk to the main strip of restaurants and a doubles stand #3 COMMUNICATION could definitely be better... On the positive, Franka & Gerard had a whatsapp thread. 2nd they gave an exhaustive guide with everything from entry & web access, to rules & emergency contacts, so... questions we had about turning on water and taking out garbage were *all answered there*. However... this is the first time we've waited for several hrs (or a whole day) for a response from a host. Again, it's well maintained & the guide so comprehensive, that it was NOT a big problem, but... there's something comforting about a responsive host on the 1st days in a new place. So we didn't get that extra welcoming comfort #4 HOME is lovely with the main room for parents and lots of extra room if kids come to visit. Bathroom is spacious, water flow & temperature great (see guide to cut on supply). Kitchen is great for cooking, prepping, full fridge, and an adjacent dining table. There's a nice living room/entertainment area between the bedroom and dining area, as well as lovely spaces to relax in front and behind the cottage #5 No late check out option, but AT CHECK OUT time we were greeted by the house cleaner, Sandra, who was gracious & asked how our stay was.
