Lovely quiet spot
Review Submitted: April 5, 2009
Date of Stay: March 2009
We stayed at this cottage with our 19 month old and really enjoyed it. Several people stopped to comment on how much they loved the house with two couples asking if they could have a look around as they were so impressed (wouldn't reccomend letting people in as a general rule ;))!!!. Its a brand new house, very nicely decorated, lovely outdoor decking to front and rear. Five minute walk to what we thought was one of the best beaches on the island. If you love banana boats, parasails, jet skis, beach sellers, hot dog stands, seeing loads of other tourists, organised hotel staff trips, aerobics in the pool, etc then this isn't the beach or cottage for you. Our child loved the goats which pass by several times a day. A quick hop in the car to Jolly beach, would reccomend hiring a car if you stay here although you can probably take taxis which pass often. Jolly beach too far but is where you can find everything you need including supermarket (v. expensive), Castaways beach bar, places to do scuba diving, sailing etc. Its a bit of a trek to walk to Jolly beach but thats a good thing as its too touristy for our liking. We loved staying at this house which suits independant travellers, and is the antithesis to an all-inclusive, stay-in-the-resort-the whole-time break, Only negative were the mosquitoes at night, there are mosquito nets but you have to be quite careful they are totally sealed. You will probably have the same issue everywhere in the carribbean. Also have to be careful of the steps at front for v young ones but we didnt have any problems. Lovely house, beautiful beach, Dennis' restaurant excellent and beautiful views. Great place to be off the beaten track and still be able to participate in activities close by when you want. Only our second trip to the Caribbean but overall were very happy.
