This was a tremendous getaway for my wife and me. We were specifically searching for a small home away from the fray at a great value...this was perfect! This intimate and secluded "cottage" was very clean with all the modern living conveniences and only 5 to 10 minutes from the 3 best beaches on the island; Red Bay, Plum Bay, and Long Bay. Each beach had it's unique advantage for swimming, snorkeling, walking, running or just watching the sunset (with wine, of course). There was never more than a dozen people on the beach, and these beaches range from a quarter to a half mile long. For more action and about a 15 minute drive, Cupecoy, Nettle Bay, Maho and Marigot offer great restaurants, beach bars, night clubs and bakeries. Dreams and Le Sand restaurants in Nettle Bay are very close, on the beach, and have great food. There is a bakery another 1/4 mile down the road that's worth an early rise each morning. Our hosts live in another home on the property, out of view, and were available when we needed their assistance. We toured the entire island looking at all the other lodging possibilities and came to the conclusion that we made the best choice. This was our best couples vacation.
