Beautiful home; get all provisions prior to arrival
Villa Roka is a beautiful home, well-maintained and welcoming. The photos on the online profile are true to life. The back courtyard and pool were delightful. The kitchen is well-equipped. Hot water works in the showers. Walk to the beach is about 15 minutes.
If your goal is to arrive, stay, and relax, I recommend bringing all your food with you when you first arrive - the road from the center of town is not paved so is difficult to drive on, and it's a long walk. There are small boutiques near the house where you can buy water, eggs, vegetables (you need cash), but for meat/fish or other provisions, there is no nearby grocery store (we drove 1 hour to get to Auchan in Mbour).
Bedrooms have air conditioning but do still have mosquitos - best to burn incense ("garabou yoo"- can be purchased at the local boutiques) to kill the mosquitos when you go to bed.
