La Marea is a stunning property, inside and out. The ocean views are breathtaking. The house sits on the northern point of the island so you get a wonderful sea breeze and few mosquitoes. Below the property, there is a small private beach which is sheltered and perfect for young children. The pool is large, clean and the perfect temperature. An evening cocktail in the cabana, while listening to the waves, is just magical.
Inside the house is beautifully furnished and immaculately clean. The photos simply do not do it justice. From comfortable white sofas, beautiful wall art, a fantastic office space (with super fast wifi), beds, with fresh crisp linens which are so comfortable - the list goes on. If you love to cook, the kitchen is wonderful - spacious and well stocked with everything you need. There is a large supermarket just 10 mins from the house ( the house is already stocked with essentials like oils, vinegars, herbs & spices, coffee, tea plus wine and cold beer). If you like to eat out, there are many great restaurants nearby.
By far the biggest plus for this house is the gracious and thoughtful host. From the moment we made our first enquiry, Andrew went above and beyond to ensure our vacation was everything we hoped for - from helping us navigate Covid rules, arranging a rental car, having us picked up at the airport, giving us a myriad of recommendations for our time on the island and making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. He even helped us arrange Covid tests for our departure. Nothing was too much trouble. A major highlight was chartering Andrew’s boat to do a tour of the island. What a fantastic day out!
All in all, a wonderful vacation. If you are considering La Marea, look no further. You will not be disappointed.
