It started with our 1st inquiry about this property...
ALL THE LITTLE THINGS
~how quick Jay & Athena were to respond~ALWAYS
~their patience in answering all our questions
~sharing tons of "need to know" info before we even left for St John
ALL THE LITTLE THINGS
~how "at home" we felt the minute we arrived at Rebecca's Fancy, as if Jay & Athena were welcoming old friends
~being greeted with a freshly baked rum cake (paradise indeed!!)
~a bouquet of local flowers for the table
ALL THE LITTLE THINGS
~a clean, cozy, comfortable cottage with all the comforts of home
~a well appointed kitchen with everything you could possibly need
~spaghetti & meatballs in the fridge on our day of arrival after 2 long days of travel(talk about thoughtfulness!)
ALL THE LITTLE THINGS
~being directly across the street from the beach (Hansen Bay is one of the best snorkeling areas on the island!)
~the beauty and peacefulness of the East End
~the donkeys surprise visit in the driveway one evening
~the bull finches demanding some of our breakfast every morning on the deck
~the hummingbirds, bananaquits & nightly serenade of frogs & crickets
~the beauty of the East End (oh, I already said that!)
ALL THE LITTLE THINGS
~the wealth of local knowledge Jay & Athena will readily share with you (if you want to know about it)
~the conversations Jay & Athena will have with you IF you invite them for a chat
~the feeling like you are at home (oh, I already said that too!)
It was ALL THE LITTLE THINGS that added up to one incredible stay at Rebecca's Fancy. Thank you Jay & Athena for EVERYTHING and for sharing your beautiful property with the rest of us, who can only pretend for a mere week or two that we live on a Caribbean island. You, both, make Rebecca's Fancy as special as it is. Thank you for your kindness, your generousity, and for thinking of ALL THOSE LITTLE THINGS!!!
