This was our first visit out of the country and didn't know what to expect from this value-priced property. It was exactly as the photos depict - large, airy, plenty of space and out of the way of other travelers. The driver, Mr. Lee, picked us up at the (very busy!) airport and took us to the house. Carol gave us a tour, and Mr. Lee took us to the grocery store for breakfast items. He then took us to grab some supper to eat at the house. It was terrific! The Pork Pit was so tasty. It was so nice to leave the snow up north to the mid-80's temperatures, and have our meal on the patio in the middle of winter! Mr. Lee took us all over the country, literally. We spent a couple days at a resort with my family, which was also very awesome (and easy) and the rest of the time travelling around to see the sights. Mr. Lee became our best resource as he acts as a guide as well as a driver. He is completely trustworthy, which is so important when we didn't know anything about the culture. Beware, though, the all-day drives are expensive! My taxi budget went WAY over, but it was completely worth it, especially for the great deal with this house and the cheap food, etc. Also, keep in mind you are on your own. You are not on the beach, and it's a $20 cab ride to get to one. The neighborhood is quiet, except for the stray dogs - my only real complaint - but that's not the house's fault. I was admittedly nervous at first staying here, but it turned out to be a wonderful vacation, filled with amazing memories that will last a lifetime!!
