Family of 4 Fabulous Time

We loved coming "home" to Tree Frog Cottage. It was so much fun. We were there from July 30-August 6. I think we just beat the hurricane season as it did not rain much at all. It rained during the night 2 nights and only for a few minutes during 2 of the days we were there.
Tree Frog Cottage was perfect for my husband and 2 daughters (both age 7). The sleeper sofa was comfortable for our daughters and the Queen bed in the lower level was cool and very comfortable at night with the fans and the A/C going. Since it was August the weather was hot and it was necessary to have the A/C at night. During the day we opened up all the upstairs windows and enjoyed a wonderful cross-breeze. Downstairs, we kept the air on during the day while we were there in the a.m and early evening. We stayed gone snorkling in that beauiful Caribbean water every day.
It was so nice to have the use of a washer/dryer! This is a great perk that the owners provide. Tree Frog is clean and the view's outside the windows were beautiful. I loved waking up in the mornings. The view of the bay is best from the corner of the deck. We loved the lush trees and vegetation that we could enjoy from the windows view. We did have so much fun feeding the birds sugar water. They loved our strawberry lemonade mix. We enjoyed grilling out on the grill and the use of a fully equiped kitchen (except for one thing - a Blender!) It would be fun to make fruit smoothies at night. The owners provide beach chairs which were so nice we want to find some like them at home. The shower was roomy and had plenty of water pressure. Note: it is essential that you rent a jeep to drive to Tree Frog. The driveway in is unbelievable! Ruts and dips and bends. It was all part of the fun and adventure for us! The Prop. Mgr. is so nice and helpful and met us the first night to guide us in. She was also quick to respond when the A/C didn't work the 1st night. She fixed it the very next a.m. with a simple repair.
We loved hearing the Morovian church bells ring at 9 a.m. Sun. morning. We wish we knew that Vie's Snack Shack was closed all of Aug & Sept. So we couldn't purchase conch fritters (out of season) or Johnny Cakes. Bummer. STill was a nice ride out to the east end of the island with more beautiful views. Groceries are cheaper in Cruz Bay, but little grocery at the bottom of the hill was convinient. Aqua Bistro was fabulous food. We loved our stay and we would love to come back.
Owner's Response: We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Tree Frog Cottage. I am sorry you didn't find the blender, we have (had?) one stored in one of the kitchen cabinets. We hope to see you again soon.
Mark & Holly
