We were truly amazed at the beautiful setting, and with the relaxed but well-appointed accommodations. The Villa had everything we needed, including gorgeous views, a well-supplied kitchen, and easy access to the PADI Dive Center down the hill. This was particularly useful, since one of our party needed to complete her open water dives for her scuba certification; diving and snorkeling were a big part of our stay on the island, and we were not disappointed! For snorkeling, Long Bay was the best, followed closely by The Baths and Fallen Jerusalem.
Be assured, you will need to rent a vehicle, and you will use it everyday to shuttle to various beaches, snorkeling sites, and several of the small grocery stores; we were confounded a bit by the need to stop at several stores in order to accomplish a complete grocery shopping, but this was not a significant hardship.
We have stayed in several VRBO rentals in the western hemisphere over the past years, and Tamarind Villa was hands-down the most beautiful, comfortable, and convenient. All that, and a great value to boot!
