Surreal Paradise!

My husband and I planned a 40th birthday trip along with another couple. Upon arrival, the owners, Nicole and Larry Fleming, arranged to have the water taxi drop us off at her dock. Originally, the water taxi is supposed to drop you off at another location. This was no extra charge.
On the island, guests use golf carts for transportation. On arrival, Nicole had ours waiting for us.
Additionally, the property is on the bay and ocean. Our cottage overlooked the bay and we were steps away from the ocean. On the ocean side, we were privy to some of the best snorkeling in the world (I've done extensive travel around the world for this purpose).
The cottages are on the end of the island and it's like a private compound and/or beach. Literally, we had the beach and bay to ourselves.
If we saw other guests, the cottages are situated so there is plenty of privacy. During the day, one can snorkel, dive, site see around the island, or visit nearby islands.
The inhabitants of the island are very welcoming and friendly. In the evening, we attended social events are we were "part of the community." We made many friends and we plan to keep in touch.
If we forgot any items (beach towels), Nicole let us borrow them at no additional cost.
We also were invited over to the Nicole and Larry's home for a lovely cocktail/appetizer featuring fresh seafood dip. With 26 years as proprietors, Larry and Nicole Fleming had a wealth of information. They were very helpful and provided information to really make our endeavors smooth.
We definitely will come back!
Thanks to Larry and Nicole Fleming for making our trip one of the best ever!
