If you are not an "all inclusive" type of couple, then Harbour View Villas are for you. You are very much in nature at these guesthouses, and you are really in a new reality there. Think of your stay as upscale camping. We chose to leave all windows and the French doors overlooking the bay open and sleep with nature. So yes, there were a few bugs and anoles sharing our space, but nothing harmful. The view is outstanding and I enjoyed waking to the fresh air blowing through the A Frame. We are big city dwellers and not resort people....this was our idea of a vacation.
Just remember to bring bug spray. We even bought citronella candles after reading about the mosquitos on the island from this site and lit them while we hung out on the deck in the evening.
I also wouldn't worry about the money order for 50%. I called around to many places before we chose this one and it seemed to be standard practice. This is a different way of life. People still trust each other.
Bring sun screen too. If you are boaters, I would also recommend renting a boat. We contacted Butch for a small skiff. He's with Culebra Boat Rental.
Definitely rent a car if you stay at Harbour View. Although it is not far from town, the houses are nested in hills and we found driving was easier.
Have a great time.
