GROUPS: If you need a second villa in the same neighborhood, we can help with accommodating your needs.
LOCATION: Please note: This villa is in a private RESORT with RESORT ONLY BEACHES that have deep sandy shores and hilly dunes.
VILLA: The living/dining room has a CATHEDRAL CEILING, and adjoins a PRIVATE FURNISHED DECK, (many decks of neighboring villas face a road or public green). NO ONE IS ABOVE YOU or below you. You can PARK in front of the main door. VERY CLEAN unit. Our housekeeper, Melissa, is diligent and familiar with cleaning fine homes. We do not use a cleaning agency. We have a SEPARATE PATIO, which is completely fenced in with exterior access for BBQ or for privately showering after the beach. One of our five POOLs is one minute away.
FURNISHINGS: USE YOUR LAPTOP with our WiFi. FLAT SCREEN TV in Master Bedroom. Sofa and a loveseat are overstuffed to let you sink into luxury usually reserved for fine homes. Both bedrooms and the living room include furnishings by POTTERY BARN, sleeping six. Bed sizes include a KING in the master bedroom, TWO TWIN beds in the second bedroom, and a QUEEN sleeper/sofa; all linens are provided. We are routinely asked where we find our sheets for the beds and the master bedroom mattress is especially sought after. They are that good.
POOLS: Queen's Grant has 5 pools and you're welcome to use any of them. Our unit's location is fantastic because each pool can be reached within 3 minute walk or less. The closest is within 1 minute. Each pool offers a different view or feel--some pools have more kids verses more adults; others have golf views with some shade to full sun near world-class tennis courts. Use our floats and relax!
SMOKING AND PETS are not allowed--so this keeps our villa clean in appearance, and fresh in air quality.
RECREATION: Use our TENNIS RACKETS! Get GOLF DISCOUNTS! Or go to the beach with our lounge-style chairs, sand-castle toys and towels. Beach umbrella is also included. When you are done with the sun, enjoy one of many board games or play Twister and laugh till morning.
PARKING: Right in front of entry to the villa. No stairs and no parking garages. Very convenient.
TECHNOLOGY: Three phones plus two VCR/DVD players for watching movies! Cable TV with deluxe TV channel selections. Desktop computer plus printer with (super)high-speed, access to the Internet. Laptop users can access internet wirelessly.
KITCHEN and BBQ:
The kitchen is equipped for those cooks who appreciate the tools it takes to ENJOY HOME COOKING. Full kitchen with adjacent outdoor patio for grilling. Have you ever had fresh roasted oysters? Call us for details. The oysters are flavorful and tender, locally harvested and for sale at a bargain. Our grill does a fine job, and the oysters open themselves!
RESORT AMENITIES:
This villa is inside a premier resort. Without having to drive, you can quickly access deep and wide beaches, clay court tennis courts ranked #3 in the world by Tennis Resorts Online, Ocean front golf courses rated four to four and a half stars by Fodor's Golf Digest, five swimming pools-exclusive for Queens Grant guests, boat/bike/canoe rentals, restaurants and evening beach-side entertainment. You can even ride a bike to fine waterfront shops without ever crossing a highway.
Landscaped paths weave through the resort along waterways under ancient trees-- a few of which even have swings. Courtesy transportation is provided by request for those who would prefer a ride. A neighborhood general store is also available for those last-minute errands or a late afternoon run for popsicles.

Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Queen's Grant
The year-round weather! The deepest and most beautiful beach on the Island. The shopping--great prices and quality selections when I actually have the time to enjoy doing it: when I am on vacation. We cook a lot, but when we want to eat out there is a superb selection for all tastes and budgets. Fresh Market for amazing produce and specialty items, Piggly Wiggly for price and the best selection of sauces and condiments I have ever found in a grocery store.
The Unique Benefits of this Villa
Our villa is private and quiet, yet near the main walk ways to all resort amenities. It is like living in a country-club estate! Perhaps we will play tennis or golf in the morning. Then our favorite rest is to sit in chairs in the waves for sun, then use the umbrella for wind-filled shade. After the beach, we stop to swim in the pool; then home to the villa to change for dinner. NO DRIVING has occurred yet. Also, now that our girls are in college, we enjoy the night life: music, dancing and walks on the beach under the light of the moon. This destination is a lot like us--romantic.
