VILLA ANAKAO? WONDERFUL!!!!
We have just returned from a two-week stay(January 2010)in this lovely new villa, and we are like jelly! Our vacation was so relaxing and restorative, thanks to not only a beautiful, well-appointed villa, but kudos to the kind owners, Sandy and Christian. They maintain a well-kept property, one nestled within native vegetation of beautiful flowering trees and sweeping vistas of surrounding environs. We never slept better!
The kitchen was the grand feature for me, as I enjoy cooking, and my husband and I both enjoy eating! Well appointed and maintained daily, the kitchen was great fun for everything.... cooking, entertaining, and just relishing in the island flavors that emanated from this warm atmosphere. My husband particularly enjoyed the BOSE system for Ipod and the pool, which is the crown jewel of ANAKAO. Every day upon our return from the beach, the first thing we did was spritz off in the outdoor shower and then hit the solar-heated pool, which is gorgeous!!!! (And CLEAN. ALWAYS!!!) Another comfortable feature of ANAKAO is the layout....easy, great flow, and as mentioned, the pool/sitting area. PERFECT! Any special request we had, (extra beach towels, more candles, etc.), the owners were prompt and positive in their replies.
All in all, we would recommend this property to those who are seeking a quality vacation of quiet, views, privacy, and the best, owners who embrace their guests with much hospitality and warmth. Christian and Sandy are truly the heart of ANAKAO. Nearby with their own private, unseen residence, Sandy and Christian's quiet, unobtrusive presence translates to this home, which in turn, speaks to all who luckily find ANAKAO......a unique property that is reminiscent of old-style hospitality but in an updated,modern way. What more could one desire?
The sun always shines at ANAKAO, outside and most especially, within. We are grateful our paths crossed with Sandy and Christian because they truly represent the best of St. Bart's.
Toujours,
