For me just picking out a hotel on the net and exchanging a few emails with the owner, we made out like bandits. We loved our hotel, Gumbo Limbo. It also seemed a little fitting with that name. Our hotel overlooked the town and water below, and it was a hill(!) to get up to it. It was worth it though. At times it felt like we were in some sort of luxury camping experience with the no A/C and a few critters running through the spaces. I don't think I would have enjoyed it any other way. I realized how much I missed it while I was waiting for these pics to upload.
