Lovely, but remote and a little different from expected
Communication with the owner was great, transportation was good (though expensive and the cost was not predictable), and Annette, the housekeeper/cook was excellent. The food she prepared was great; I ate more than usual.We did not understand how remote the house is; the nearest town, Duncans, a 15-20 taxi away, offers rudimentary grocery stores but not much else. To do anything much away from the house, expect to pay driver Kirk 50-80, so the cost of a dinner out is nearly doubled.The images led us to believe that the house was right on the beach instead of 2 houses and more than 100 meters away. Not terrible, but a bit of a surprise. The beach was lovely and we met some really nice people, both tourists and locals.I spent a couple decades living in third-world countries, and the local bars/food service was worse than anything I saw there. The one with a rooftop bar was sort of okay, but really basic and the music was too loud to really order. Leroy's was impossible. The fresh seafood was good, but expect to pay Western prices.For excursions, the Blue Hole and Duns River Falls were excellent. The Bamboo Beach Club was worth a visit.
