I stayed at the Villa Islander with 3 friends for a quick getaway. It is hard to come up with words to describe the magic of this home. We all agreed it was the most beautiful place we'd ever stayed. The layout is perfect, plenty of room to relax, we enjoyed every square inch. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with spa like bathrooms and wonderful linens. The kitchen has everything you could need, beautiful dishes and serving pieces, every meal felt special. The living area is very comfortable and the cable and Netflix came in handy on our rainy day. We enjoyed evening and mornings on the roof deck, toasting to our luck in being able to stay here. The windows make you feel like you are outside yet the gorgeous landscaping provides a lot of privacy. We spent a lot of time in the lovely pool and walked every day down the beautiful path to the beach. Alessandro was a dream and provided us with everything we needed including groceries, a cake for a special occasion and a personal greeting and goodbye. Richard (the security guard) was wonderful, not only giving us piece of mind but also setting up beach chairs every morning on the beach. The house is in a perfect location, walking distance to several wonderful restaurants and a quick cab ride to a great grocery store. We had one rainy day at the house but we didn't mind staying inside this incredible home, watching movies and listening to the frogs right outside the window. The beach was very quiet and serene with very few people nearby. Snorkeling was wonderful right off the beach, we originally thought we might do a boat trip to snorkel but there was no need, we saw sea stars, a nurse shark, lion fish, tons of other tropical fish and an octopus! I can't say enough about this house and the location, as beautiful as it is in the photos it took our breath away in person. Don't hesitate to book this home, I can't wait to go back!
