Q: How far is the house to the beach?
A: We are only 200 steps to the beach.
Q: How big is the pool?

Q: How are the beaches and the swimming?
A: The beaches are excellent for both swimming and snorkeling. The surf is very calm by our beaches so it’s perfect even for small children or non-swimmers. Beaches are all free and even have thatched huts for visitors’ use.
Q: What about transportation?
A: You have several options: A rental car at the airport is the best bet but the main bus line is also very convenient and runs every 15 minutes or so along the beach road by our villa. Taxi service on the island is also very good.
