FABULOUS BEACHFRONT LOCATION-POOL, HOT TUB A/C- ADJOINS PARK - 20% OFF FEB & MAR

For us, it couldn't have been more perfect. If you like your days quiet and peaceful this is the place. We all enjoyed it and did pretty much nothing. The pool and hot tub are wonderful. The deck is great for stargazing and sun rises. The whole place had a really zen vibe. If you like putting some beer in the fridge, reading a book and a whole lot of sunshine this is the place for you. The walk to the beach is not bad at all, although, it does not really look like a swimming beach but never fear, there are lots of great swimming beaches not far away. The kitchen and the outdoor grill make cooking at home easy. We saw lots of birds and had two resident large lizards that would hang out around the pool. No complaints, this is a great place for nature and the neighbors are far enough away that you can't really here them. It truly was one of the best places we've been. Oh yeah, and the upstairs bedroom has a view of the ocean from the bed. Paradise!

Lovely vila, fantastic location.

Family trip for 6 adults (3 couples) from July 2-9, 2017. We are not "resort people", and Surfside was all we could have asked for and more. Beautiful natural private hillside setting with unobstructed views out across Reef Bay from the pool, balconies and bedrooms (previous reviewer's comment about trees needing trimming has been addressed). Three air-conditioned suites with full bathrooms located on three separate floors provided privacy, but with ample communal space to eat, relax, swim, and enjoy each other's company. We enjoyed leisurely mornings waking up to the sounds of birdsong or crashing surf, and having coffee/breakfast out on the deck, followed by a midday dip in the pool or a walk down the forested trail to the beach. Reef Bay was great for sitting or strolling, and for access to the National Park trails, but for swimming and snorkeling, we explored the calmer north shore beaches ~20-30 min away (beach chairs, coolers, and some snorkel gear all provided). For meals out, the ride to Cruz Bay was an easy 15 min, and we ate three excellent gourmet dinners at Extra Virgin, La Tapa, and Zozo's, but with the house's large grill and well-equipped kitchen, we ended up eating more of our meals in than out. Fourth of July festivities on the island made our week extra-special. I can honestly think of almost nothing to complain about regarding our stay.

The property is currently listed for sale, so I highly recommend staying here while you still can... Or if you have $1.5M to spend on your very own island getaway, please consider inviting us to stay with you again in the future!

Our second visit to Surfside was as perfect as the first. Great breezes and views with decks and patios on multiple levels for relaxing after a swim in the pool. We walked down to the beach every day and never saw another person, save for a surfer one day. The long white sand beach is great for walking and beach combing and is completely private. If you're adventurous, you can hike over to the Reef Bay sugar plantation. Saw deer on the path every day and an iguana made a daily visit to the trees by the pool. The house and kitchen are fully equipped and the staff at Caribbean Villas was very helpful and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. Falling asleep listening to the waves was heavenly...Can't wait to return.

Our party of six stayed in Surfside for a week in May and found the property location to be secluded as described with plenty of room. Upon arrival from the ferry, the island greeters were very friendly and made our check-in and escort process a breeze. We were amazed by the terrain and the slope grade that vehicles had to drive on. The house has three bedrooms total, but the third bedroom is down by the pool and you must walk outside to get there. Also there is a five minute HIKE to get to the beach down some stairs, rocky river bed, through a grove of crab holes, some shrubbery and onto the beach. We estimate 300 yards of moderately rough terrain.

Here are the pros: Great galley kitchen with everything you might need. The pots and pans were of good quality and there were lots of plates, bowls & utensils. The kitchen appliances were new and higher end. Each room had air conditioning if you wanted to use it (we used it at night). There were ample amounts of bath and beach towels. The outdoor furniture was durable and good quality. If it rains, they have cable with HBO. There were nice touches such as island information brochures, microwavable popcorn, kitchen sponge, dishwashing soap, a small supply of paper towel and toilet paper rolls & hairdryers. And of course, the seclusion and hearing the crash of the waves from the house.

Here are the cons: the house was built in 2001 but needs some minor repairs such as fixing the broken windows, sliding screen door and sink plungers. The pool is surrounded by trees, which would be a positive if the trees didn't constantly shed leaves into the pool (we had to clean the pool with the net multiple times a day) and block the view of the ocean when sitting in the pool lounge chairs. Also the pool filter/cleaning system seemed inadequate because the pool was always cloudy. The beach is rocky with parts of it with many sea urchins. There are some spots that are easily walkable in the water, but I would recommend water shoes. There are some good waves on this side of the island, and we saw a surfer on our beach.

Over all it was an average stay with everything you might need in a house.
