What a wonderful vacation!
Upon arrival at the airport we were greeted by property manager Joeb, who took us to the property. The house is actually even better than in pictures! Everything is appointed with comfort and convenience in mind. Here are the details:
Kitchen – seems to be brand new with top-end appliances (smooth top Samsung stove, stainless steel dishwasher, Samsung microwave oven, Nespresso coffee machine, panini press, blender, bread-maker, Brita-filter jug, toaster, hand mixer, full size fridge with large freezer compartment). Lots of pots, frying pans, even a frying pan for crepes! Huge drawer full of spices and pantry with few essentials to get us going.
Bedrooms – each bedroom has very comfortable queen bed with baldachin and mosquito nets. Large ceiling fans (remotely controlled from your bed) and air conditioners (if needed) gave us comfortable sleeping environment (bug free, with light breeze.
Living room – as comfy as in the photos. LCD TV with cable service had lots of channels (but we did not watch them). Internet connection and WiFi were good with adequate speed for our needs. TV cabinet has books, diving guides, playing cars, board games – and there is even a stack of paper to keep scores!
Outside: The best thing is a large deck on three sides of the house, under a big tree, so that at any time of the day, there is a shade to your liking. We had hard time deciding what was more comfortable: zero gravity chairs (there are two of them) or a rustic hammock.
We really liked the two bikes that were free of charge. Air compressor for inflating tires and even spare tires were provided. We used bikes a lot, as the island is mostly flat, and everything is in biking distance.
The BEACH – ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT. Less than two minutes from the house is a long white-sand, perfectly clean beach surrounded by green-turquoise water – and completely empty. Most of the time we were the only people for at least half a mile. Large tree gives a nice shade. As the wind was blowing from the shore, water was always calm and perfectly clear, which gave us fantastic snorkeling experience (we say lion-fish, barracudas, and even a flying eagle-ray). No sea weed – just crystal clear turquoise water. We spent hours sitting in Tommy Bahamas chairs (they have three) and enjoying sunset views.
Location: everything is within 10 minutes bike ride.
Overall - a perfect vacation!
