On our eight trip to Anguilla, my wife and I chose Lockrum Point Villa because of it's characteristics, seafront and central island location. Important characteristics for us included a quiet area with a good buffer between neighbors, a pool, very clean, comfortable, air conditioned, villa surroundings and a staff to provide as little or as much help as we might request.
Lockrum Point Villa scored highly in each of our categories. As we booked this Villa, we very concerned about our peaceful stay being disrupted by any nearby construction noise, as we unfortunately had experienced on other trips. The owner assured us that there was none, although we occasionally might hear a passing goat. He was absolutely right -- it was very quiet and we enjoyed the goats. It really wasn't baaaaahhhhhd at all!
The villa's location made trips around the island very manageable. we preferred Lockrum Point to our previous stays at properties on Shoal Bay East. Those required quite a ride for visits to Meade's Bay or Rendezvous Bay beaches and restaurants. And the unobstructed view the Villa enjoys of St. Maarten is magical.
The property manager, Marvin Holas, was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed his visits and insights about the villa and the island. The housekeeper, Shareen, was personable, professional and unobtrusive in completing her responsibilities.
As to recommendations, a key aspect of Lockrum Point Villa's charm is it's seclusion, but it was a challenge to find it on our initial effort. Some additional signage would be helpful, but we understand that this issue is subject to rather strict governmental regulation. Once we found our way around and a shortcut, our solution was to mark the Jeremiah Gumbs Highway "secret" access point with a large rock wrapped in aluminum foil. This marker was most helpful when returning after our evening dinners out. Our headlights picked up the entrance easily. The related suggestion would be to wave a magic wand (or bulldozer) to smooth the secondary road leading to the villa. On this point, however, we acknowledge that the way to Lockrum Point Villa probably was about as bumpy as access ways to other villas we have encountered on Anguilla.
In short, we were very pleased with our stay. All was as advertised and we are very much looking forward to returning to Lockrum Point Villa next year.
