Villa Ventosa Spectacular Sunrises & Tropical Breezes

Just spent 6 amazing nights at Villa Ventosa with my husband and two other couples. It's stunning from the very initial entry and the views and beautiful furnishings and finishes of the home never lose luster. It had everything we needed including laundry and dish soap, coolers, beach chairs, beach towels, ice maker, etc. The kitchen had nice plates, glasses, pots. The men loved the high end BBQ grill and want one for home! Made great steaks. The house is very private and each couple had their private areas each with stunning views.

Here are the only downfalls (just to give all the detail although it wouldn't stop us from staying there again!!!): Bugs - centipedes, roaches, spiders. There's no way around this on a tropical island and the house is not infested by any means but there were certainly a few run ins with bugs. The drive - Calabash and Coral Bay are a lengthy drive from Cruz Bay/downtown. This is actually a pro and con though. We loved the eastern facing views and the isolation that comes with that side of the island. I do think it wouldn't be ideal for families of small kids or people who aren't a bit adventurous. Additionally, a 4 wheel drive vehicle is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to make the long, bumpy drive up the hill and then down into the driveway of the house. It's not for the faint of heart. Again this adds to the character though. Lastly, the pool/patio area is a slight drawback. The pool is small and doesn't get a lot of sun so we did not utilize it. The hot tub we used quite a bit and it was wonderful looking up at the millions of stars viewable from that great spot. I do wish you could walk out the main level and be at the pool/patio rather than these being at the side but still very nice.

Our days were mainly spent at the beach or on a boat but we enjoyed cooking breakfast and dinner at the house. All together it was a fantastic trip and a great house for us. Would certainly love to stay here again!!!
