Ideal vacation spot
My husband and I stayed in the owner's town home for the month of February, 2013. When we began our inquiry and throughout the process of confirmation and payment, we were impressed with the quick and thorough email communication with owners Mike and Diana. They responded to questions and gave us information about the area which was very useful. Once we arrived, we were delighted that the townhouse was exactly as described. The oceanfront setting is gorgeous from the patio as well as the large master bedroom. Throughout our stay, it became more and more apparent that Mike and Diana want their guests to feel completely comfortable and at home. They have furnished the kitchen with everything we needed to cook our meals. We did bring our own George Foreman grill, since that's what we have been using almost daily in our own home, and then left it there for future guests to use. We also brought some spices for grilling, but I heard that one can buy great spices at the Farmer's market in town. We rented a car for the month, and went to Solomon's for groceries. The townhouse is comfortably furnished and there are plenty of bath towels, beach towels, and bed linens. Having a washer/dryer unit in the townhouse was vital, and we tried to use it wisely since electricity on the island is an astronomical expense for islanders. The master bed was very comfortable, but all the other beds were much too firm. Mike has since put soft mattress covers on those beds, so that shouldn't be a problem now. Over the course of the month, when we did have a problem with the phone, patio screen, dishwasher and ceiling fan. We called Catherine, and she was always right on it. Both she and maintenance man, Sandy, were very prompt and helpful in taking care of these glitches. The grounds around the townhouse are very well kept, and the neighbors very friendly. Having the option to use facilities at the next door Island Seas Resort was great. There are also a few beach hut places to walk to for supper, and a couple of restaurants at Island Seas. My husband is a diver, and was thrilled that the diving place that's less than 1/2 mile from the townhouse had a boat that left directly from the shop. They don't do 'pickups' for divers, so when he went on dives, he was able to save so much time by getting right on the boat and leaving for destination dive. The area was quiet and peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. We will definitely be back!
