Apartment and Family Klug

Carolyn researched places to stay before we decided to do this 2 month thing. Settled on renting an apartment south of the main island town in what we'd probably describe as a subdivision. It's away from the main town about 2 miles, just south of the airport. Host family built a two-story house with their living quarters on the top floor and 3 apartments on the ground floor (pic at far left is back of house--apartments on lower level). It's new construction and very nicely put together. They planted palm trees and flowering plants while the foundation was being put in 3 years ago so the gardens would be established when the house was finished. It is very beautiful.


The couple we rent from are originally from Germany. Julia and Ralf Klug and their girls Jasmine and Julianna. The two little girls ages 3 and 6 and a boy on the way. The girls are adorable and are quite taken with Maxie. We already have a refrigerator full of pictures drawn by Jasmine, the older girl, taped to the fridge.

The family couldn't be lovelier or more helpful, especially since Julia, our hostess, is about 4 weeks away from delivering their 3rd child. Her husband Ralf works as property manager at one of the local resorts. They have 3 apartments to look after along with the landscaping and the daily chores of working and raising children and seem to be doing a wonderful job. It's a very happy place to stay.
