Wow!!! We were pleasantly surprised upon arrival to find both a gem of a condo and excellent owners!
Our vacation was starting off rough before it started because our rental car was cancelled just over 24 hours before we arrived. I let the owner "Dino" know about the issue and he was quick to offer assistance and went out of his way to help us find a solution. I've never had an owner go to these lengths and it was a breath of fresh air. Finding the unit was fairly easy but do note that Google leaves you about 100yds short of the complex so keep going and look for the blue knee wall on the right!
When you first pull in to the complex, it seems like you're coming to the average VRBO but that was not the case. Getting inside the unit was easy with the lockbox right outside the front door and the outside camera makes you feel safe without being intrusive to your privacy. Once inside, the condo is clean, spacious, and well stocked with everything you need to feel right at home but who wants to spend time indoors when you're in paradise?
Walking out the back of the condo is the true wow moment. The pool (we never went in) is 10 steps away and the beach/sea are only 30 steps with an amazing view! We spent most of our time on the back deck and beach. The lanai came in clutch when the bugs come out at dusk. The beach is nice and sandy but walking into the sea is quite rocky so grab a pair of water shoes provided. Once you get past the rocky start, the snorkeling (I bring my own gear but the owners provide some too) is simply amazing starting at about 50 yards out and it's only around 6 feet deep. You'll find lots of fish species around rock/coral formations and the crystal clear water makes them easy to spot. I came across a stingray that was about 2' big and was just casually gliding by which was awesome to see.
There are a few dining options nearby at Rum Point and Kaibo (try their stone fired pizzas for lunch) however we did most of our cooking in the condo which was fully stocked.
We took a day trip to George Town and to Hell (about an hour drive) which is why I knew we must have the rental car in the beginning one of the big reasons why I gave the location 4 stars instead of 5.
The only negative is that we lost electricity for about 3 hours on X-Mas Eve. Dino was very responsive and utility company responded quickly to get us back online.
Dino, Thanks for opening up your quiet piece of paradise! I hope everyone enjoys as much as we did!
