Great location!
The property is just as listed with a very comfortable deck for chilling. We loved the location that is walking distance from the beach, shopping, restaurants and coffee shops. They also have beach items available and free like chairs and snorkels.

We flew to the Flying Honu
We had a cozy stay at an apartment above a garage, where we parked our rental car. We knew we were renting in a neighborhood and not in a hotel so there are pros and cons to that. However, the landlords were really friendly and let us borrow boogie boards, masks, and snorkels, and use the washing machine. Overall, it was a great location to do things all around the island and we had a pleasant stay.

This place was perfect for us—in town for 2 nights. Wanted a place close to airport and easy to get to sights. Great location. In the neighborhood, which I like, amongst the local folks. Felt safe and space provided everything that we needed. We used smoke equipment and towels for our venture. Great experience!

Marc was friendly, communicative, and flexible. We were able to check in a little early and the property was immaculately clean when we arrived. It's a pretty no-nonsense place with few amenities (no air conditioning!) but it was safe and comfortable. Some noise overnight from neighbours (we had the windows open for the breeze) but nothing outrageous.
