This is a great place. It is located in a perfect location in the island, just a few blocks to nightlife and restaurants. Great for groups of 4 to 5 persons. Very clean and organized. Host are very helpful and kind. Even waited for us at the dock.

Jakob and Ana were awesome. They greeted us at the ferry and took care of transportation to the house. Jakob provided all the information we needed to make our stay a great one including where to get groceries and great places to eat. He was easy to get ahold of if we needed anything. We highly recommend this place. It was safe and clean and close to everything yet quiet. Thanks Jakob and Ana for making our trip to Utila great! Kim and Darvin

Our stay here was great. We were met at the ferry by the hosts who had already arranged a mototaxi to take us up to the house. We had clean drinking water, towels, hot water showers, and a nice little cooking area. Jakob and Sarah were great and super attentive to any questions we had.

Great house, excellent host! Very clean and modern with lots of extras; wifi, tvs with usb, filtered water cooler, full kitchen, AC. Good location right in the middle of town at a great price!

Great host and great house! Has everything you need for a nice vacation! A/C, hot water, nice beds, super comfy pillows, tv, wifi and a kitchen if you want to cook! Ana and Jakob were super friendly and even picked us up, and checked up on us if we needed something! Would definitely stay here again! Recommend 100%

great place, centrally located, with two spacious rooms. Ana and Jakob were very attentive, they picked us up from the ferry and were available via messaging for any questions/problems we had. Overall lovely and affordable place to stay.

Excellent stay on Utila, close to amenities, la casa verde is nice and offers all the comfort needed.

Lucie and Pride are amazing people. The house is beautiful, perfectly located (not too far, not too close). The couple was very welcoming and took time to chat with us, answered our questions. Beautifull yellow house with a patio all around with 2 hammocks, just a very great place to be in Utila. Thet also provided us with drinkable water, which was much appreciated. The only thing that is too consider: bring earplugs (roosters and dogs don't seem to sleep at night!;) and toilet paper and kitchen rags were not provided. So bring some TP with you if you have to go right away;) And Wifi was not working for our stay. But overall, great place, i recommend it without hesitation!

We had really comfortable stay at the Hummingbird House! Julie was a great help with knowledge about where to go on the island and the house is a quick walk from "downtown" Utila. The outdoor shower was an extra nice touch, the house has some great shade to keep you cool in the Caribbean Sun and it is really steps away from a dip in the ocean!

If you have ever stayed at an AirBnB in a foreign country you know that the host is almost as important as the property. In that respect we couldn't have made a better choice. Julie is amazing. From arranging for a driver to pick us up from the airport (do this!!) to introducing us to other wonderful expats and showing us the island, Julie captured everything you want in a host. She made it feel like home. The beach house itself is fairly rustic, but it's location is perfection. Far enough from "town" to avoid the noise, but close enough to walk there in 15 minutes (or pay a tuk tuk driver 20 lps each). The public beach is to your left and terrific snorkeling is just across the road. We loved the outdoor shower and used it almost exclusively as the one inside the bedroom was tiny and with very little water pressure. Air conditioning in the bedroom was crucial for my husband, but we only used it at night for sleeping as during the day we were out exploring. We used the coffee maker and Julie provided 5 gallon drinking water, but there is also a fridge and stove in the kitchen. The deck with rocking chairs is a wonderful place to drink your morning coffee or air dry after a shower - but watch out for the bugs as you will get eaten alive in Utila. (Baby oil mixed with camphor is the trick apparently to beat the sand flies and mosquitos.) There is a locked shed by the shower which is perfect for stowing your gear. The bathroom situation is... well... intimate. The bathroom in the bedroom is only seperated by a shower curtain, so you better get open with your bedmate or plan on trekking downstairs to the roomy "outhouse". As is common in central america, you dont flush anything man made in the toilet so throw everything in a trashcan. Do yourself a favor and bring or acquire plastic bags to line the trash cans. It will make clean up easier. I highly recommend staying at any property Julie manages/owns and she is also a realtor if youre looking to buy or for long term housing. Julie is awesome and she made our time on Utila amazing.

Julie's home was just as described. It was an amazing experience to stay here. My girlfriend and I spent three nights here and we have not a single complaint. It was clean, beautiful, a nice set up, and close to wonderful beaches. I highly recommend this place...great value! Julie was also so friendly and welcoming!!

Great, cozy spot close to coral view and Neptune's! 15 min walk to town!

We had a very nice stay at this lovely house. Everything was prepared with love. The house is a very relaxing and peaceful place. A place were you forget about time. Julie was very very nice and helpful. She did everything to make our stay unforgettable. She gave us lots of recomendations, showed us around, and was always available if we had questions.

Great little 1-bedroom bodega in Blue Bayou, which is a serene spot compared to the town center (we came during Spring Break "semana santa," so it was packed in town). The apartment is stacked with the bedroom upstairs and kitchen downstairs, so there was plenty of space for my boyfriend and me. Fantastic front porch with rocking chairs and chair swing, the kitchen is stocked with utensils, and the air conditioning was essential. Julie is warm and friendly and was quick to respond, and she gave us a ride to the bodega directly from the dock. I'd absolutely recommend this place if you're willing to spend a little more to give yourself some peace and quiet!

Awesome quiet place to stay and great host! Julie met us upon check in and has everything you need to know laid out for you and was easy to ask about things to do. Small beach across the way but only takes about 10-15mim walk to a public beach and 45min walk to the opposite side to get to Bando beach! A/C works great, just had cold/low shower pressure inside (which seems to be normal in the area) and we did see ants upstairs at night. I'd recommend this place :) love utila, very beautiful!

A lovely private house off the beaten path, which was perfect for our family during boisterous Carnival. We were close to the public beach, and a short bike ride from town. Julie & her family were responsive and welcoming. The AC worked well, and we easily stayed within the power usage allotment. We basically lived on the porch. Most days there was a lovely breeze, but when it was still, the sand flies came out (as they do everywhere on the island), so be prepared. They didn't bother us indoors. It was great to have a kitchen, and also to have the living area separate from the sleeping area--our toddler napped very well in the travel crib Julie let us use. The outdoor shower, clothesline, and bathroom were also very useful after swimming, when we had guests, or were covered in sand. We really loved our stay, and would definitely stay there again!

You and Derick ROCK! Your willingness to also assist with transport of our disabled friend and his equipment back to the island went far and beyond expectations. Boat rides at sunrise and sunset, bioluminescent beauty in the water, everything was just wonderful!! Thank you both!! See you soon!! Much love and hugs, Charley and Jody(and Connie)

We have stayed in quite a few AirBnB houses for vacation, and I have to say, this is the most special and memorable places we have ever stayed. I would highly recommend Seaclusion for your vacation....the house was constructed with so much care and quality, with attention to every detail. The retractable doors open up an entire wall to the open air and ocean - this is such a lovely place to play cards, enjoy a meal together, or read a book. The house is also completely screened and with great fans/ AC - so this really helped at night when mosquitoes are more active. The house is located on a wonderful, quiet beach, but yet a 3 minute walk to Neptune's restaurant and dock. The management at Neptune's was very kind and attentive - we were able to use their boats into town for a small fee. One thing to note is that Neptune's boats into town stop around 5:30 - but they will book a private boat back for you for a reasonable fee. We also learned that you can book activities through their activity center, which would have been really fun if we weren't already exhausted from lots of great diving! :-) Phil and Brenda are amazing hosts - they picked us up from the airport, checked in with us throughout our stay, and guided us on where to go to most enjoy Utila. Phil is also a dive instructor - this was an amazing and unexpected benefit as we were able to join daily dives that he led (he was SO patient with our kids who ask endless questions and my endless quest for a whale shark!). This is a unique and amazing vacation not to be missed....and highly recommended!

Olga and the staff at Coral Beach were beyond terrific. We encountered a few issues and Olga worked fast to make sure everything was resolved. She takes the time to make sure you are taken care of and safe. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Utila. Thank you Olga and staff for making our trip a great one! Looking forward to my return.

If you are looking for a nice, quiet, peaceful place to get away from everything then this is the place to stay at. Extremely relaxing! The property caretaker, Mike, is extremely helpful and can accommodate all of your needs. Great snorkeling/diving right outside the house. Loved it here and have already begun to plan a return!

Our stay was amazing! The house is perfect for a couple and comes w everything you need (blender,coffee pot, bikes!). We had the whole beach to ourselves everyday. The house also came w masks, snorkels and fins! The snorkeling right in front of the house is amazing! Mike was also a huge help everyday w everything we needed! Definitely recommend! Thanks! Kim and Eric

The location was great. We liked being out of town, yet an easy short bike ride to everything. The bungalow is clean, simple and sweet. Great sunrise view, shade in the afternoon for porch swing reading time, and the island's best snorkle spot is about 100 yards away! Una casita muy linda. James and Mike made it very comfortable and easy to meet all out needs. Utila is such a chill place - nice people, plenty if great places to eat and hang out. We enjoyed kayaking and going to Water Cay. Treetanic bar and sculpture garden is a must see in the daytime and at night.

This little oasis is perfect and exactly what we wanted. The snorkeling in front of the place is amazing. We saw an eagle ray, a squid, the morey eel that lives in the rocks under the dock next door, a spotted drum and lots of incredible coral and fish. A major plus that we could wake up and jump in the water to see such incredible marine life. We spent half our vacation diving, so this was a nice treat. James was awesome. He sent us a great guide book to ensure we had all the local tips of Utila. Mike met us at the airport and set us up with a cab that was awesome enough to stop to allow us to pick up groceries before we made our way to Blue Bayou. The place was cute and clean and had everything you really need. They don't supply any toiletries so make sure you bring you own, or pick them up from town. We loved absolutely everything about the place, except for one little thing which I'm not sure James could fix, sandflies. For some reason they are much worse here than they are by the dive shops in town. They prevented us from enjoying the porch and beach as much as we would have liked to, but everything else was awesome. Highly recommend getting the two organic repellents they sell in town or bringing baby oil and making sure you apply the first day.

The house is in a lovely location on the west (Blue Bayou) side of the bay. Nice little sand beach. Sunrise wakes you if you don't close the shutters. Made good use of the porch swing, great for coffee in the morning and a book in the afternoon. Easy swim to one of the live coral reefs that run parallel to the shore here. Saw a lot of fish when snorkeling, even saw squid one day. The back of the house is very close to the road which was occasionally noisy at night during start of Semma Santa week (ATVs and scooters running by) but not a problem prior to that. Mike, the property manager, was very helpful.

My partner and stayed in The Purple House for 3 nights and what a cute little beauty. We were very pleased with the accommodation. Not only were we the only people in the vicinity, but we were the only property which had a private beach in the area that we took full advantage of sunrise and sunset every night. This property is perfect for 1 to 2 people who appreciate tranquility and just value quality time. Don't get me wrong, we still got a chance to enjoy the wonderful chill Utila life ( which is a simple short walk away). I feel like we were there at a great time of the year. Not a lot of rain and enough breeze to paralyze you on the hammock and love swing on a nightly basis. I must warn you though, in the morning the breeze isn't as present and the sand flies are crazy busy, but it's nothing that bug spray doesn't fix. James and Mike were both great host because we never wanted or needed for anything and their local recommendations hit on the head every time. They even provided water for drinking. Thank you for such a wonderful experience and we look forward to staying again on our next visit. -Tamara and Ciara

Beautiful location! Cozy and quiet!

We stayed here for 4 nights in Jan 2016 and we have mixed feelings about our experience. We really wanted to like the place but there were some key things that made it not worth the high expense. Pros: -the location is great, on a beautiful beach and away from the noise of town. -Mike (the property manager) is a really nice guy and checks in on you daily to see if you need anything. -plenty of beach towels and snorkel gear to use. Cons: -the place is dirty. There was dust everywhere, the mirrors were filthy. It's very dark inside and only a few of the lights work (awful if you have a rainy day and are stuck inside). The windows are also covered in film. We understand that it is right off the ocean and sand and salt are a thing, but for 150$ we expected better condition. -the bed wasnt very comfortable and smelled very musty. It only came with two extremely thin pillows. I had to climb into the attic to find two more mouldy pillows. There's no blanket, only a sheet. -the tv volume doesn't go high at all ( pretty much unwatchable) -only one roll of toilet paper provided (the neighbours gave us one of theirs). -hot shower works sporadically. Overall, if you are going to be out of the house all day then it is ok ( reminiscent of a 40$/night Thailand beach house). But if you plan on using the cottage a lot, we don't recommend it for the high price. Really a shame because we were looking forward to a little cabin in paradise.

The property is just what we expected but our dear friend used to own it. Minor little tweaks need to be made by Tony & Jo but they were all over it. Couldn't have asked for more.

This is an amazing house for a couple to rent. It is secluded enough to make you feel that you are away from the "noise" (if you can call it that) of Main Street. But very accessible by foot or bicycle to get to the restaurants, shops and dive centres (about a 15 minute walk and 7 minute bike ride). The best feature of the house is surely it's deck, with amazing views of the water. The private little beach area is a nice touch as well. We felt very safe and comfortable during our stay. Jo and Tony are great hosts. They were available to pick us up from the airport and immediately made us feel very welcome. After a quick check in and tour of the house, they left us to our adventure. We would stay here again should we find ourselves back in Utila.

You will LOVE THIS PLACE. It is beautiful and the location is awesome. Tony and Jo are great people, very accomodating and informative!

This house is INCREDIBLE!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We stayed here for a week during our vacation to Honduras. Everything couldn't have gone better, the check in was very simple JJ and Tina the property management team picked us up from the ferry and were very accommodating by offering advice on where to eat, the cheapest alcohol and where to get groceries. They helped us get settled in and fixed a minor problem with the water heater as soon as I contacted them. Nothing but great things to say about both JJ and Tina. Thank you!! The house is in a perfect location and the name says it all paradise... You get to watch both the sunrise and sunset as this house as it is situated perfectly. Its a short walk in to town or tuk-tuk ride if you wish so still close to the action but quiet for a peaceful retreat in the evening. Open all the screen doors and let the breeze come in from all angles. The area is very safe. Fantastic snorkeling just out in front, the kitchen was full of every utensil or dish you could ever need. This is one of the nicest air bnb we have stayed in and for what we paid we couldn't be happier. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

My group loved staying at Luis' place while we visited utila! It was perfectly central, had a hot tub and the bedrooms had super comfy beds. The place was remodeled recently and you can tell Luis puts a lot of love into the place. Luis is always quick to respond if we had and questions or issues come up, and Ray was super helpful too. The best part of the place were all the silly signs around the house. Thanks for providing a great place to stay!

Utila is a beautifully rustic island. Very slow paced. Paradise Regained is beautiful with a wonderful view of the ocean.

We stayed over Christmas with another family. House is very welcoming and if you are diving, there are many great options. We explored the islands on golf carts, kayaks, and just walking around. There was a lot of activity around Christmas holidays and sometimes some late night partying but we had a blast. Great restaurant and numerous waterside bars to enjoy a cool beer after diving. We hope to come back and explore more in 2017.

The Cay House is an absolute Gem. Book it if you can and you won't have any regrets. The property managers helped arrange all the travel details, even after we arrived. The house is very well equipped for your vacation. You could easily spend weeks here and never leave, or walk around each night and explore all the nightlife nearby. It's located central to everything, yet sits back away from the busy road. Would come back here in a heartbeat.

What an amazing house - such a privilege to have stayed in this beautiful and luxurious home in Utila. The arrival was smooth and we were met by the amazing property managers JJ and Tina. The specifics of the house were explained thoroughly and any questions answered. The house was well equipped and had everything we could ever need! The location was perfect - right on the main strip, but being its own island offered us the privacy and quietness we wanted. The area is safe, the house secure and all amenities in working order. We can't say thank you enough - I can't wait to come back again!

If you make the trek to Utila I don't know why you'd want to stay anywhere else. The house was gorgeous, Amanda (John's wife) was super friendly & helpful, and the property managers JJ and Tina were great; we even ran into them later at the dive bar down the street and had a couple drinks. We spent pretty much all our time at the house out on the enormous deck and dock. It was roomy enough for the nine of us to all hang out, and you can jump right off into the ocean. On top of having a great place, the hosts were able to help us figure out the ferry to the island as well as arrange travel to and from San Pedro Sula. That extra help made our first visit to Honduras hassle-free.

I came here for my wife's birthday weekend and we had a blast! Everything went as we expected and there were no unpleasant surprises. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I would definitely recomend this place for a weekend or week long getaway.

The Coral House on Treasure Beach is a beautiful home on a beautiful beach where we snorkled through the healthy house reef, lazed on the veranda, kayaked to remote beaches and drank rum drinks to Caribbean sunsets. We purchased fresh fish while on the cayes and met locals who greeted us like family. Our stay was futher enhanced by the local services of Utila Cayes Diving and Chez Lola, an intimate French restaurant and dining experience like no other. If you are seeking a Carribean experience away from the crowds with no lack of luxury, The Coral House is it.

The Coral House -- located on a remote beach in the midst of palm trees, white sands and stunning ocean views -- is genuinely spectacular. Not only is it situated in paradise, but the house is beyond gorgeous with its cathedral ceilings, wrap-around porch, four poster beds, etc. Seriously, the house is almost as nice as the setting! Furthermore, Trish and David, the property managers, are lovely people. They were very responsive and helped us to make our trip great. As some people mentioned, if you want lots of people around, nightlife and bars -- maybe this house isn't for you. If you'd like to feel like you're staying on a private island in an incredible beach house -- this house is for you -- hands down. My one (very minor) complaint is that the sand fleas can be vicious. But I would gladly be eaten alive in this slice of paradise.

We had a great time at The Coral House, the place is amazing and the house is in perfect conditions. Dave and Trish are truly attentive. Everything was great, we highly recommend it and for sure we are going back!!!!

We had a great stay at Coral House for Christmas and New Years. Dave and Trish are fantastic hosts and are full of great information on Utila. We quickly felt like we were part of the island community during our visit. We loved having Melvin and Christy, a local couple from the Cays, make dinner for us every other night. They were friendly and filled with stories about the island and their lives. Highlights included: great snorkeling off the dock; walks up the beach to Neptune's for lunch; kayaking to Water Cay; visits to Utila Town for lunch/swimming; Dave's treasure hunt for our son; and homemade baleadas for breakfast on Jewel Cay.

The Coral House on treasure beach was absolutely perfect for our vacation of 6 people, we were 3 couples all best friends. The house felt very private and secluded, but we made friends with some of our neighbors on the beach and had a few bon fires which was absolutely perfect. Dave and Trish were beyond accommodating and was able to send us some fresh fish (make sure to get the lobster tails from Ms. Ethel, THE best lobster we ever had) across the way from Pigeon Cay when we didn't head out a few days. The dock and upper deck is shared with Pineapple house and some other houses on the beach, but for most of our trip we were the only ones on it which made it feel completely private. To help avoid the sand flies which are ruthless (but wouldn't stop us from coming again because the vacation was so amazing) we spent a lot of time on the upper deck over the ocean where the wind was stronger. The snorkeling was incredible just in our "front yard" and we also spent a day at Water Cay snorkeling which I highly recommend. The house was perfect for our stay and felt like we had plenty of room/privacy for each couple and the wrap around deck was unbeatable foe breakfast, dinners, card games and lounging. We actually didn't make it into Utila Town while we were there because there was a big music festival and we didn't want to deal with the crowd because it was New Years, but any other time I would highly recommend visiting the town as we were walking through it when we left we wish we had. Some things to note about the house: the fridge and freezer takes approx 24 hours on the coldest setting to make ice, so fill your trays in the morning and empty the next morning and make sure to do this cycle everyday if you like making smoothies or drinks in the blender. We used the blender everyday and it worked great. The downstairs of the house has a bit of an older smell to it, but our friends who stayed downstairs said they got used to it. make sure to plan your food/booze items in advance and Dave and Trish are mostly able to accommodate everything during your stay. Note to self: bring your own pillow for sleeping. While the bedrooms are extremely comfortable and the bathrooms and very nicely renovated, you will want your own pillow. Thanks for the amazing vacation! it was definitely within all of our top trips of a lifetime!

Staying in the Coral House was a wonderful experience. After booking with Lawrence, the property managers Dave and Trish got in touch with us to start planning our stay. They were really nice hosts, absolutely invaluable to us. We took the Utila Princess ferry from La Ceiba to the island. Although I cannot recommend this mode of transportation (it was a rough ride and I got very, very sick), it was nice to be met at the dock by Dave. He took us over to the Coral House where Trish was waiting to show us around. The house was fully stocked according to our provisioning requests. The tranquility and beauty of the Coral House cannot be beat. Dave and Trish were a wealth of knowledge and helped us plan all of our excursions. The only downside I can think of: sand flies! Although my 140+ bites have mostly healed up by now, I would be remiss if I didn't at least mention them. If you want to do any sun bathing while at the Coral House I would recommend the deck over the dock for this. The wind always blows up there, so you don't get bitten. Otherwise wear bug spray and stay off the sand as much as possible. Other than the pesky sand flies, I enjoyed every aspect of our stay at the Coral House and would return again if the opportunity arises.

What a fantastic vacation we had at the Coral House!! It is a beautiful place and we very much enjoyed having this little piece of paradise just for ourselves! We went for diving vacation, and Dave and Trish recommended we dive with Bogdan at Utila Cays diving. The best choice ever! Bogdan is excellent and he went out of his way to provide an unforgettable experience . Each dive was different and we saw so much life and beautiful corals. We are a family of 4, and we had a blast diving with our kids! Dave and Trish were amazing too, and they made sure that we had everything we needed to have a perfect stay at the coral House. We'd love to come back for sure!

Laurence was a an easy going Host to deal with and made sure that our every need was attended to before departing for Honduras. The house has an amazing setup on a private beach with spectacular coral snorkeling right in your 'front yard!' The property managers, Dave and Trish, were easy to get a hold of and fun to hang out with. I can easily recommend The Coral House on Treasure Beach!

After a long and wavy ferry ride Adam picked us up on the port. He managed a nice ATW-Ride to the apartment witch was a nice start in the utilian way of live! The Apartment is really clean and very modern and sweet furnished. You don't need to bring anything! The kitchen is very big and has enough space and equipment to celebrate some really nice pre or after party dinners. The bath is also very modern and is not comparable to other bathrooms you will find on your way to utila...The shower is a DREAM! Adam provided the Kitchen with some local snacks and local beer witch we enjoyed on the terrace with the first class view on the private bay. Adam also gave us a local cellphone with his number and some TucTuc drivers who will give you a ride to the "city". Adam was a great host and a nice friend for the time on utila. Don't be shy! He will answer all of your question quickly and helps you in every situation! Thanks again for the nice time and the experience we had with you and Mia!

Adam was a great host, had good communication throughout, and sent his house manager to pick us up from the docks. A little bit of a walk from the main strip, but there are taxis that you can call for 30-50 lempiras. The house was great, good beds, AC, fridge, etc.

Adam and Mia were perfect hosts during our say in their apartment. Very friendly, outgoing and helpful for us being first time visitors to Utila. The apartment was awesome, just far enough away from town to be nice and private. Wonderful ocean front setting. I highly recommend staying with Adam and Mia in there fantastic apartment.

Adam's place was such a great spot- so much so that my boyfriend proposed in the yard overlooking a breathtaking cove:) (I said yes, BTW!) Gorgeous views, very clean, perfect location for those that want to be a bit outside of town but still close enough to enjoy the nightlife! Thanks again, Adam! Would recommend to anyone.

The house was incredibly gorgeous in a decent location and quiet area. We stayed in the lower floor apartment. Our host was very helpful and gave us some useful information about the island and ways to get around and things to do. Beds were comfortable and the place was squeaky clean. The only thing missing was shampoo and soap but I'm sure if we would have asked it would have been provided without a problem. The walk from the center was a bit of a walk in the beating sun so I'd recommend renting some form of transportation or calling a tuktuk for those mid day walks. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here, it was clean, close enough and far enough to drown out the centers noise, facilities all worked well we even had a tank of water and beers in the fridge (we added a bottle of wine to the collection). Highly recommend to anyone looking for real comfort and security.

Beautiful place. Adam was a great host, picked us up from the ferry, and always available. Place was clean and roomy. Oceanfront is perfect.

Staying at Adam's was a pleasure! I began speaking with Adam about a week or two before my vacation and right from the start he was very responsive. We got to know each other a bit so I felt very comfortable and safe staying in his home. He was very helpful and directed me to his property manager, Casie, for any local questions. The directions for Adam's home were clear and the home was just as pictured, clean and accommodating. We had some trouble with the air conditioner, but Adam immediately contacted Casie to help us. Even though he was in a different country, he made frequent contact to check on us and even sent a welcome message upon arrival. There were many luxuries in Adam's home that you wouldn't find in most of Central America. First of all, air conditioning! The bathroom was beautiful and clean and the shower was great! It even had hot water, another luxury. The kitchen was fully stocked with appliances and plates and he even provided a local phone to use. He put minutes on the phone for us and it had several taxi numbers of drivers who were reliable. Casie, Adam's local property manager, was very friendly and accommodating as well. She was staying next door and checked on us regularly, but not so frequently as to impose. She provided her number and was able to assist with anything! She even provided us with some good information about local shops for diving. There are many dive shops, but we wanted the best, yet cost effective opportunity and she picked the perfect place! I highly recommend Adam's home and I hope I have the opportunity to go back. It's gorgeous and right on the beach, but bring water shoes because it's rocky! Thank you so much Adam and Casie!

Adam and Mia were excellent hosts and their house in Paradise Cove was beautiful. -so friendly - invited us up for a drink upon arrival and gave us lots of restaurant recommendations, tips, etc. -Gave us a cellphone and added more minutes to it when I had to keep calling the airport to find my bag. This was the biggest help in our stay to contact the tuk tuk driver daily. - Gave us clothes, toothpaste, bug spray, etc...when the airline lost my bag - Put drinks/snacks in our room for our arrival - Offered my wife extra king sized pillows because she was pregnant -refreshed sheets and towels halfway through the week - My wife mentioned wanting coconut water and Adam brought down a freshly chopped coconut and straw for her to enjoy - Very spacious apartment with full kitchen - the queen bed was super comfy and firm - huge bathroom with an awesome shower/shower head - plenty of closet space/hangers for all of my wife's clothes - The apartment itself was very clean - a few critters, but from what we know about the island, it would be considered extremely bug/critter free (cement structure helps) -unlimited drinking water in the apartment was very key - 4 ceiling fans, AC, windows with screens/plenty of ventilation - gorgeous view - covered porch was amazing/relaxing place to have drinks/read. - Was a bit of a hike to town, but well worth it to stay in this quiet clean apartment with Adam/Mia as hosts. We didn't mind the 20 minute walk in the mornings to get coffee (Rio Coco), but we didn't find it walk-able at night. It is very easy to take a taxi though with the cell phone provided and all of the drivers we used were extremely friendly and prices were fair. ($3-$5 each way for the two of us) - Everything on the island is totally accessible by taxi, golf cart, bikes. - We were unlucky the week we got there as a massive amount of seaweed hit the Caribbean islands and it flooded the cove where the house was located. I can't comment on the swimming off of the house, but there was a private beach about 15 minute walk from the house which was great ($3 per person)
