Vacation Rental Description
If you're craving a less formal setting the Jungle Cottage is for you ... nestled at the beginning edge of the coffee and macadamia nut trees, next to a stand of giant bananas and facing the ocean, you'll feel like you're in a tree-house!
Furnished in a more "native" tropical style, this charming cottage features giant light-colored bamboo furniture and an eclectic mix of "primitive" yet very upscale furnishings and decor collected from various tropical destinations around the world, such as Bali, Thailand, Mexico, and the Peruvian Amazon.
This comfy "home-away-from-home" has faux terra cotta tile flooring and open-beamed ceilings with bamboo reeding and a feeling about it that will transport you straight to "Fantasy Island". On a private pathway from its parking spot to the
Cottage you will pass a grove of papayas, pineapples, assorted palm trees and a huge "Easter Island" tiki welcoming you home!
The Jungle Cottage has its own private "lanai" (balcony) with teak table, chairs and market umbrella; the perfect setting for eating al fresco. The view below is filled with nothing but glorious vegetation and an awesome unobstructed ocean/c.
