"Pros: The location of the property is ideal. It’s quiet and safe and surrounded by monkeys, mongoose and hummingbirds which we saw daily. There is a beautiful view of the sea from the upper balconies too. It’s a moment walk down to a very quite sandy beach which was a delight to swim or board in every day. Some parts of the island are much windier and the sea wilder - this was perfect. We stayed at the end of April when there is a lot of seasonal seaweed on other beaches but it doesn’t seem to affect this part of the coast at all. We did hire a car (easily arranged by the staff who gave us a few numbers and choices and it was delivered to us) but often preferred the beach and the quiet of the villa. In nearby Spightstown there are some good lunch or dinner options. Caboose is instagrammable and prices to match but nice or Sunflower Rotis offer great takeout options at half the price. Similarly, restaurants range from stylish and concept to local too. The beach there (Heywoods beach) offers great snorkelling and sandy shores and good safe swimming. You’re also nearby 10 min drive to Animal flower cave - the breadfruit tacos there are amazing but for a group, the cave entry is quite pricey - but that’s similar for other attractions too eg Nicholas Abbey Distillery (also beautiful). Bathsheba bay is a 30 min drive (The Roundhouse is another good option for food and drink there or more local style Scotland View on the way). Part of the ease of the villa is the way it is managed and staffed. Housekeeper Dolorious kept the villa immaculate so it was like staying in a hotel in terms of crisp linen and freshly made beds and plentiful towels for beach and bathroom - and even managed our laundry for us. She was quietly, brilliantly efficient and much appreciated. There are some beautiful bedrooms and a lot of relaxing spaces - our main bedroom had a beautiful balcony overlooking the sea, and the wildlife - it was also enormous and similar to a Sandals suite we enjoyed years ago. Cons: We had some issues with the pool as there was a changeover in contracts and cleaners so it wasn’t at its best for our stay. I don’t think this would be a problem for anyone else in the future as the new contractors were brilliant and got it sparkling quickly once in place." ~Sandra
