While the driveway is shared with two other homes, it is has its own parking, grill, pool, and path to the beach. The homes are reasonably close together but have landscaping for privacy. Other things to note This area (and the entire country) is known for eco-tourism. We've been on many excursions and we've loved them all. Whitewater rafting, horseback riding, ziplines, etc. Half-days run around $55 and full days run around $150. We like to try something new every other day, but we're perfectly happy lounging by the pool or walking on the gorgeous beach.
