It’s located in the most beautiful part of the island. The view from the balcony- indescribable!!! Peaceful, beautiful place that help you truly feel the island vibe! It’s close to the restaurants, host gave me the best advice with choosing one. Frances ( the host) is just amazing and the way she takes care of the place and the visitors, is more than perfect! Highly recommend choosing this place to stay!

I met the manager of the accomodation, the night before I stayed there and was informed that the room I had reserved had been double booked. The manager told me that she would try to correct this problem and text me via WhatsApp regarding my status. At around midnight, she texted me that I could stay at the place. However, the unit where I could stay on the first night was smaller and different from the one I originally selected. I would be able to move to the selected unit on my second day. She did not offer to discount my price for the 1 night downgrade. Both units were clean and comfortable, but the unit I initially selected was much larger with a separate room for the kitchen and spare bed.

Suyi & JJ are wonderful hosts maintain a clean comfortable Caribbean house. They made us feel welcome during our 4 nights. They live nearby & grew up in the village which reassured us. They also provided helpful general safety tips for the area. Communication was great. Suyi provided detailed directions with videos to find the house. It was nice that they both checked in with us throughout our stay to ensure we were ok whilst also respecting our space to relax. The house is a spacious 2 bedrooms; a nice change to staying in a hotel. It’s built on stilts & nestled in the path leading to the 20 minute jungle hike to Wizard beach. We were lucky with the climate - the jungle was dry and it was safe to swim (it can be known to be muddy with riptides). Life is colourful & lively amongst the local community. There are many things to observe from the balcony; the neighbours’ passion for music throughout the day, the animals, and the sea view. The spacious wraparound balcony was incredible to appreciate morning coffee. Other highlights: Big walk-in shower, wood flooring, dimmable ceiling lights, American fridge with filtered rainwater and ice maker. Good Wi-Fi connection, Spacious lounge with comfortable sofas. The AC worked well from both bedrooms along with the lounge ceiling fans. Hot water was great. We didn’t have cleaning/fresh linens during the 4 nights; but if we stayed longer we might have asked if it could be arranged. The kitchen is well equipped. The filter coffeemaker, cutlery, basic utensils/cutlery were useful even though we opted to dine out as to not invite jungle critters. Suyi’s mum also offers laundry service, and we booked our boat taxi with her father back to Bocas. The location is convenient. There are a couple of mini supermarkets within 5-10 minutes walk of the house. A handful of restaurants are less than 15 minutes walk, as is the main port for taxi boats.

Property is beautiful. Room was as pictured.- spacious, clean, and comfortable. AC worked well and there was always hot water and good water pressure in the shower which isn't always the case on an island. Staff superceded in terms of hospitality. Location was great.- far enough for peace but close to restaurants and tour opportunities. The property host (Karen) is exceptionally helpful. Welcome letter sent ahead of time set me up for success but she was alwauys available to help with minor hiccups. Plan to return and recommend without question.

The property is like an oasis in the middle of the island. The cabin is amazing. Hosts are friendly and welcoming.

Facilities were amazing and the food was great (breakfast and dinner) and creative with local ingredients. However, most importantly the owners / hosts Drew and Tamara are awesome. They have truly created a super personal and beautiful accommodation which we really enjoyed. They also helped out with tours, transportation etc and were generally flexible.
