Incredible location, feels like your own private beach! Michelle the host is so kind and friendly and made me feel right at home as a solo traveler, she's the best! I loved waking up to a beautiful sunrise out front, and you can watch the sunset from your balcony too. Just perfect!

This was the best property we have ever stayed in. Right on the beach, amazing host Michelle and her gorgeous doggy missy absolutely made our holiday. Everything was easy, relaxing and so enjoyable. Hidden gem in a beautiful country on a stunning island.

It is a simple villa with partial lagoon views and one minute walk to a pristine beach. When we had water issues, Michelle, the manager went out of her way to help us.

Being set on the best beach in Raro, the position of the property was excellent, as was the view of the lagoon. The villa was very clean and well equipped .The only downside for us were the steps up to the second floor, we are both in our 70s and found these a bit much, no problem though for younger guests.
The owner Michelle lives downstairs and is friendly and approachable and does her best for her guests.

Very friendly & helpful hostess.
Although Self-contained the kitchen equipment was minimal, the bench area very small, making cooking frustrating until we moved some things around.
The deck is shady & it was windy.
