October is considered slow time which was great as we like less crowds. Some restaurants close during Sep/Oct, regardless, there were many great ones open. Mango Reef was within walking distance and we enjoyed the best Char-grilled lobster! The property is perfect, clean, and as advertised and overlooks the beautiful cove. We enjoyed morn/eve on patio, so serene. The infinity pool we had mostly to ourselves, is MAGNIFICENT, with soft in pool loungers-so comfy, way better than the Ritz as we had an excursion leave from there:) I guestimate it's around 6-8 blocks walk to beach. If you have a car it's nice to drive with your gear, but walking is doable, good exercise, and boom your upon Smith's reef to snorkel! Follow the road straight, onto the gravel road, it looks like its a private drive, but it takes you to the parking area. We had difficulty finding as it's not marked, but a local helped us. We loved this location away from the shopping/hotel zones, but we had rented a car inexpensively from Scooter Bobs on host recommendation which allowed easy access to other areas. The hostess! My goodness I can't tell you how above and beyond the hostess was to accommodate us. My husband had an emergency surgery and she graciously worked to find us another slot. THEN, gad, we left a bag of clothes behind, and she AGAIN worked to get those shipped to us, and deducted from the deposit. Thank you so much Molly for your tremendous help and the use of your beautiful condo!
