The villa is absolutely astounding - anyone with trouble deciding which place should stop searching VRBO now and just book this villa. We have stayed in villas all over the world and few meet the impeccable standards found in this villa. Every detail was thought of. The air conditioning in the bedrooms work very well (also have ceiling fans, if you prefer), the beds are incredibly comfortable, every firmness of pillow was provided, every bedroom had an ensuite bathroom with double sinks (kids bunk room share a Jack and Jill bathroom), and all the little details were not only thought of and provided, but top of the line products as well. The fire pole, multi-zoned Sonos sound system, kids’ gaming loft (X-box and Wii), and triple story bunk beds were a hit with the kids (all of us went down the fire pole!!)
The owners were incredibly nice, easy to contact, and made the rental process smooth. Such a special touch to have a generous welcome basket to start our stay!!
Between the multilevel pool/spa, well-equipped gym, swim up bar, steam sauna, dry sauna - all overlooking the incredibly beautiful water and direct access to the sound for paddle boarding, snorkeling, and kayaks, it truly felt like our private, mini 5 star resort, of the quality of a Four Seasons or Aman resort. The pictures do not do it justice. Just book it, bask in the sun, and relax in the luxurious comfort this villa provides.
Recommendations: Take advantage of the in-villa massages that are very reasonably priced and phenomenal!!
You will definitely need a car - grace bay car rentals are the only company on-site at the airport - otherwise you will need to wait for a shuttle!
If traveling during busy times - take advantage of TCI fast track through customs upon arriving (and departing through security). Arrival fast track seems much more important and can save hours in line for $75 per person - as customs waiting times seem to have significantly increased with the new covid restrictions. It must be purchased in advance and cannot be bought upon arrival.
