Delightful little vacation cottage
Both roomy and cozy, this was an inviting little cottage in which to spend a week in the Orient beach area. Pros: Alexandra is a terrific host, extremely responsive and available, as she lives just steps away. A minor plumbing issue arose on Friday night, and it was fixed by Saturday morning. She also did a mid-week sheets and towels exchange, so we had clean linens half-way through our stay. Very nice! A combo kitchen/dining area was perfect for us with a dishwasher, roomy refrigerator and freezer, AND a washing machine for laundry. The garden and vegetation around the cottage made for a verdant stay. Even the singing frogs serenaded us at night.Cons: Not many. A few small notes that might make a difference to folks--The location is farther from the beach (15 min walk down the hill) and most Orient Village restaurants (20 min walk) than other rental options. So be prepared to walk a bit, or drive, to your activities.The A/C takes a while to cool down the house. At night, make to close all the curtains between the rooms in order to keep the cool air in the bedroom.The bathroom isn't a separate room -- it's rather open, just with a curtain separating it from the rest of the house. But it has a great shower!Overall, very happy we stayed at the Jungle Cottage, and recommend it to others!
