Lovely location with many iguanas and we saw a pair of parrots! The pool was very nice also and the beach was only steps away. Angie and Larry who live upstairs were very friendly and helpful if you have any questions that need answered.

We’ve stayed in HP many times and this was our favorite. Angie and Larry welcomed us warmly into their immaculate home. They had provisions ready for us after our long journey and offered to drive us to town. And although they live above the suite, we didn’t even know they were there (except when Angie brought us brownies;) A solid, worry free rental.

Angie and Larry’s home is fantastic! They were so accommodating, and made us feel very at home. The beds were very comfortable, the house was super clean, and the location was so close to the beach and pool! They had great tips for where to eat, and what to see! We will definitely stay here again!
