    Gorgeous home with lots of room for everyone. The cottage is a special addition for privacy as well. Home is stocked with everything you need for cooking, snorkeling, beach going! Beach is truly steps away and it’s more of a locals beach. We saw dolphin, manta rays and beautiful fish. Owner is very responsive and helpful. We hope to come back and would book this home in a heartbeat.
