Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
Having grown up on the ocean, I'm a die hard diver, fisherman, swimmer and surfer.
Why the Owner Chose Windwardside
I visited Saba on a diving trip and immediately fell in love with the incredible reef, pristine hiking trails, unspoiled natural beauty of the topside, but most importantly the people, who think and live outside the box and are among the most loving and kind in the world.
During my first visit, I was invited to people's houses for dinner, everyone waved and people remembered my name. When I went home, I had Emails from the locals asking when I was returning. I felt like I had left part of my heart on Saba, so I returned 5 times and eventually bought my home.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Hummingbird Villa truly has a soul. It beckoned to me from the moment I set foot in the main house. The unique, warm, 18" wide cedar plank floors seem to come up to meet my bare feet. The spectacular sunrises over the ocean, with a view of 6 islands, is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen and I will never tire of it. Bush and Mercelia, the manager/caretakers, maintain the property with love and I can feel it at every turn. The house is right across the street from the mountain road up to Mt. Scenery, so I can walk across the street and hike up to the highest peak in the Netherlands, or walk 250 feet in the other direction and hike down to Spring Bay, or walk 5 minutes and be in the center of the Windwardside village. At the same time, the house sits on 2.5 secluded acres, so I can skinny dip in my pool without a care in the world. I have a large family and love to entertain, so it's important to me to have a property substantial enough to accommodate a large group while giving everyone privacy and space. Between the main house, the guest house and two turnkey apartments, this property will comfortably sleep a group of 12 with plenty of breathing room.
