The house was just as pictured but it doesn't begin to describe the calmness that the area brings. If you spend anytime out on the porch overlooking the lagoon, you'll understand. All of us spent the majority out there drinking coffee, planning our next adventure, or listening to the evening rains.
Location wise it's great for a 15 minute drive into Placencia, or 25 minutes back to the highway if you plan to visit Hopkins, Cockscomb, or any other destinations. There is a store at the end of the road leading to the house, which came in handy several times.
The pool is a bit cooler than you expect and way deeper than it looks. Great for cooling off after you've been in the sun all day.
I would stay here again over any of the resorts or condos.
