If you're looking for a quite, breathtaking, fantastic location - alone or with your family - this is the place you should book! We, my husband and my 2 girls (2 & 4y), stayed there for 2 1/2 weeks. There is nothing comparable: you can see and hear the beach from your bed, from the kitchen and from the living room…and the beach is sooo beautiful! When there was low tide, the girls walked alone to the sandbank, to play in the sand over there - surrounded by the calm sea!
Yes, you should rent a car! There is not a lot to explore on the island, but you need it, to get the groceries (which are very, very expensive on the island!) or to go to mcleans town, where you can have dinner at EJs restaurant.
Steve, the host, really cares for his guests! He gave us advices, took us out with his boat for snorkeling and water skiing, he took care of the girls while we were snorkeling around a blue hole he showed us, he played card with the girls, brought something against the sun flies we had the first night (could be, that there are sun flies around when the sun goes down), he organized someone who helped us with the car, which we couldn't start after 3 days - there is much more to say about Steve, but you should met him! His an excellent host - and his mum is around and will help you in all belongings.
The house is fully equipped with what you need. The towels are soft and smell very good :-) The AC works perfect.
If you don't need entertainment and other tourists - its the perfect place. We could recommend it without doubt: We felt in love and so did our girls….
Thank you, Steve, for building these houses….
