I spent a majority of my time photographing from the back porch. The owner and city have invited the birds by providing a perfect island home. The master villa was lovely and our friends enjoyed the guest villas. The beach and entertainment are walking distance. And the best view of the sunset is only steps away.

I was expecting a standard rental home but the owner has brought Mexico to Texas. Every corner is colorful and every detail is perfect. This is exactly the peaceful birding vacation I had hoped for- we are thrilled.

David & Sheila Bennet

We were absolutely blown away upon the first step in the courtyard. This is easily the prettiest location on the island. We will be back every year!
