We have traveled the Caribean for many years and as much as we have liked a property and island we seldom would return, well that use to be be the story untill we found this property and this island! It truly is a Little bit of Heaven on Earth. The property was everything as promised. Clean,well equited and a view to die for. If you want to kickback and unwind this is your place. Don't expect fancy restaurants or shopping malls for it has none and we can only hope it dosn't change. Nancy the property manager is wonderful. She had all the info we needed. Where to dine,where to shop and even where to fish. She saved us a lot of time and energy. We arrived on a Sunday night when all the stores were closed,but Nancy made a few phone calls and she was able to open serveral stores. I guess you just need to know the right people(she's one of them). The Bone fishing here is great, I'm not much of a fly fisherman,but I was able to catch 6 Bones, a Jack and a Baracuda. Were else can you fish and have Sea turtles,Sharks and giant Tiger rays swimming by you. Lockabar Bay is very shallow,alive and also a good place to swim and snorkle. We cooked in most nights with fresh Crawfish,Grouper and Hog fish. We did find Maxes Conch Bar and The Outer Edge and both were great local restaurants. Try and believe this, there a no burger places,no pizza places and no chain restaurants. Thank the Lord ! You may want to rent a 4 wheel drive if you are going anywhere other than the one main road. There are some great places to see Deans Blue Hole were the water goes from angle deep to 660' in abut three steps. The northern end of the island is worth a drive, it has many small fishing villages and hill side views. At the far north end you'll find Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort. It's about 1 1/2 hour drive. Great place to dine, try there Conch Fritters. I'll close now and hope I'm leaving you with warm thoughts of the perfect getaway. Michael
