House was in a great location, not too far from the main area...10 minute walk. The house looked like the pictures posted, just more greenery grown up around it. Inside the house was clean and spacious. Dave the owner was most helpful with any questions that we needed answered. We would rent this property again, and recommend this to anyone that would be interested in staying in Esperenza. I think out of the adults and teenagers, Duffy's was the restaurant of choice. Great selections and reasonable prices. "Fun Brothers" was an awesome place to deal with for kayaks and scooters. Since there really is no place to park at the house, we rented the scooters during the day and Megael, let us take them back there to park for the night. Scooters are the way to go around on the island, out in the fresh air, and can park anywhere, just drive safely and watch for potholes. There is not one traffic light on the island. Make sure to venture out to all of the different beaches. Lots of side (dirt) roads to get to them, just have to watch out for the entrances. Bio Bay tour is a must!! Was a little bit scary, but well worth the adventure :) Kayak to the island directy across from the piers, great snorkeling. Secret beach was the best for nice sand. Green beach nice for snorkeling. The bakery around the corner was very good, fresh bread daily, donuts...but be careful not to eat too many!! Grocery store around the corner, almost the same prices as the one in Isabella. Green store was also good for groceries. Take a taxi ride anywhere for $3.00/person. Reliable taxi driver was Coqui. Be adventurous and ready to explore the wonderful sights on this island. Awesome sunrise and sunsets to watch out for. Maybe a suggestion to bring your own staple foods (coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, condiments). Bring along some water and snacks in case you arrive late, nothing will be open, grocery stores close at 6pm. Don't forget the sunscreen, everyday was gorgeous. We had a wonderful time!!! Enjoy yourself on ISLAND TIME!!
