We LOVED the location of this beach house. It is right on the beach! With its very own palm trees :) We felt like the beach was our backyard. It is very swimmable with not too much or too little coral. It was easy to swim and explore the coral with its dozens of different fish, a resident octopus, and a turtle! The kids spent hours in the water.
Two nice surprises were; discovering the reef in the distance is where the waves crash, so there were no crashing waves on the beach which created a lovely calm ‘lagoon’ for swimming; and the side of the island the house is on was the non-windy side (the lee side) while we were there (not that the wind is too much of a problem).
We met lovely staff and travellers at the Shipwreck next door, enjoying their pina coladas and ika mata.
The house itself is great, it had everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed being able to make our own meals when desired.
The kids loved following the hens and their chicks around. They also discovered a few hermit crabs on the properry, and the friendly dogs reminded us of our one back home!
