Our vacation was unforgettable. Warmly welcomed by the house manager, we had groceries waiting for us and settled right into life in paradise. The house, pool, and daybed overlooking the cove were all clean and beautiful. The cove, unvisited by anyone during our stay but my girlfriend and me, is populated with sand hued pink by breakdown of corals, families of cute little crabs, and stone pillars erupting out of the earth, with the bases eroded from millennia of tidal action shaping them like mushrooms. Barbados, outside the hurricane belt, offered up humid but sunny weather for our August trip, one of the few places we could go at that time of year in the Caribbean with reliable weather. Renting a car with AC for the week was key, day trips around the island, including scuba diving with Peter and Gaird (best scuba team ever!) at West Side Scuba made returning home to Windermere even more delicious. Rented a catamaran for a sunset dinner cruise (epic, Stacey and Nick were the best!), did some fancy dining in Holetown (great dinner options up there, also beautiful area with marine preserves to snorkel at), and fed sea turtles, all in a short week we didn't want to end. Matthew Moore and his team made our experience enjoyable and easy from start to finish. Thanks Matthew and Carolyn!
