July 19-29 2011 Beautiful home Beautiful island. The views from anywhere in/around the house were perfect. I loved awakening to the view of the silvery water, sitting on the lanai w coffee, listening to the surf and watching the boats sail by. I so much loved being at the house that we didn’t spend extended time away. We enjoyed the pool from 3 on for Happy Hour..Great blender!!The landscaping-gardens—are very nice. The grouping of palms (seen through master bedroom windows)is fantastic! nice pl

March 17 2011 …Island Dream is paradise! We so loved the seclusion and view that Nail Bay offers. Your landscaping is fantastic and a wonderful sanctuary for so many creatures. .. All the beaches are splendid but Nail Bay beach has great shells .. the most beautiful waters on earth!..Irma and Howard were very accommodating and checked to see if we needed anything.

This is an incredibly beautiful cottage on VG. My husband and I had a very relaxing and peaceful ten days. It was perfect for the two of us---very, very private. The pictures on-line are accurate, but there is so much more there that is wonderful that the pictures do not show, such as the beautiful gardens and vegetation---fruit trees (such as mango, banana, lime, and papaya), beautiful palm trees and flowers---the fabulous stairway going up to the bedrooms (there is a skylight in this area), a very nice collection of books (I loved the cookbooks and we enjoyed the books on VG and the sea life there), and the artwork is divine. The new deck is perfectly situated, perfect for cocktails at sunset (I don't think there is a picture online of this feature). This property is very well maintained and clean. Even though Mary suggested we take vitamin B1 10 days before arrival and during our stay to ward off the amount of mosquito bites, this did not work for me. I have since heard that a dryer sheet in your pocket will ward off the buggers, so now I must return and try this out! ha ha!! That was the only thing I did not like. We found the dirt road to the cottage to be fun to navigate (we used a 4 wheel drive Suzuki) and it wasn't that bad or steep at all! Getting to Leverick Bay is steep!!! Howard says it will be paved in Oct., so there goes that bit of fun. The beaches are unspoiled, the air on VG is so fresh and fragrant, the mountains have not been cut into with villas---YET!!(like on ST. John), and the people of VG have genuine smiles on their faces and appear to be happy, unlike some of the people on other VI. That was most refreshing. It was so easy for us to get around and go places. The discovery of fresh, ground nutmeg on the top of a pina colada was a big treat! Thank you, Mary, for having some wonderful nutmeg available and a great mixer to make our daily pina coladas---our happy hour drink poolside or on the lanai. We enjoyed our trip to Saba Rock and had fabulous burgers there for lunch. Mostly, we enjoyed hanging out on the lanai in the morning with our coffee, and watching Sir Drake Channel come alive with boats. We enjoyed watching the rain come ashore. Shoot, we just enjoyed being able to experience rain. We enjoyed happy hour by the pool and watching the day change into night. The pool water was always a refreshing temp., never too cool or too warm. A million thanks to the owners and to Howard and Irma.

VG is such an amazing place! We loved it. The house was complete paradise! The description of the house is wrong. The house has 2 bathrooms. We loved the house, and the view was truly amazing. We also thouht this was the best part of the island. The only down side was that the driveway was ridiculously long and bumpy and although the house sits on the same property as the nail bay beach club, you can't really walk there from the house. We tried to call a cab to get us one night for dinner but they didn't have 4 wheel drive and got stuck in the drive way. The next day, we were the talk of the entire island! but, don't let that deter you from the house. It really is perfect.

Owner response:(July 25 2011)A NEW PAVED ROAD WILL BE FINISHED THIS YEAR!!What the above renter called our driveway is a road over which we have no control. But we just got notified yesterday that the road will be paved, probably in October! Our driveway is paved and in good condition.GREAT NEWS!

We really loved Island Dream and Howard & Irma. We got to meet Irma and they were great people to deal with and so nice!! What a beautiful house you have and the pictures online do not do it justice…in my eyes anyway. The views and the layout of the house are GREAT! It was amazing how easy the house cooled once we got back from the day…and the pool was a wonderful way to end the day to cool off even more. I even got used to driving the street and up the driveway. It was so much fun every day. However, I am sure glad they paved Nail Bay Road. Not sure how that would have been to drive that every day?
