The water, the views, the beach....incredible. Tastefully decorated comfortable house with amazing beds. Plenty of space for our family and friends vacation of 10. We rented 2 cars at the airport and drove to the house. Very easy directions. Partially unpaved roads, so you do have to take your time when driving into the Long Bay Beach area. The beach does have rocks and shells, so water shoes are recommended. You can snorkel right off the beach and see all kinds of fun little sea creatures. Bring snorkel equipment with you. We did not use the fins off the house, but we did use them when snorkeling at Bight Beach Reef. There is a beautiful breeze almost all the time which keeps the bugs down, but if it is not breezy, there will be some biting bugs out, so be sure to pack and use bug spray. Bugs are typical for any tropical island. The pool is a great addition and was used daily. Bring a couple floats if you like. A car is a must, you will want to visit Chalk Sound, Bight Beach and Grace Bay Beach as well as go shopping for groceries and out to eat. There is an IGA right by Grace Bay Beach resort area. It is a smaller one, but we found this one to carry our favorite foods. There is another IGA on Leeward Highway, about half way from the airport to the house. If you have special diet restrictions call or email the IGA and they will send you a list of foods they carry to accommodate your diet. You can easily drop $500 for a cart of groceries, so be prepared for island pricing. Everything has to travel there, so it is going to cost more. It is cheaper to pay airline baggage fees and bring food. We did bring frozen meat (which was still frozen when we arrived) and that helped a little. You should claim that on your customs form and the meat should be in its original package. Fresh fish is not as readily available as you would think (of course, we were there after lobster season ended). The restaurants are great and have plenty of fresh fish. The house has an alarm system and they recommend you use it. The only thing a bit awkward was that 2 of the bedrooms have only private entrances, so when you do set the alarm, those individuals have to stay in their rooms (which do have full bathrooms in them) until the alarm is turned off in the morning. We just set up a schedule of when we would turn the alarm off and it worked out just fine. I would recommend this island and this house for your Caribbean get away.
