Cozy Cottage Indeed!
The cottage was super clean and very comfortable! Loved having a king sized bed and new appliances and furniture. The owner and his father who lives next door was very kind and responsive. They even allowed us to check in early and we arrived to a welcome bottle of local rum in celebration of our 20th anniversary. What a lovely touch! The cottage is in a great location on the east side of the island and was no more than a 15 minute drive to beautiful beaches and great restaurants. Renting a car is recommended. The a/c worked great and having ceiling fans in each room was nice. A few things to note: There is no hairdryer in the cottage, so pack your own. There are beach towels but no other beach gear. Beach chairs, umbrella, and a cooler would have been great. The roosters in the neighborhood are very noisy at ALL hours of the day and night. I wish this would have been mentioned in the listing. It did not make for a very peaceful and quiet stay and woke my husband snd I up most nights at 1, 2, and 3AM, etc. If you are a light sleeper, this cottage is probably not for you. These are not the owner’s roosters but are fed by a neighbor so I do feel bad that this unfortunate situation is out of their control. The father did warn us of the roosters at the time of check in and described it as “island life”. I get it but all day and night with barely a break in between was just a little too much for us. We tried to catch up on our sleep during the days we were at the beach.
