I'll get past the formalities first and quickly; The cottage was spotless, the layout was adorable and well utilized, property was pristine and very well maintained, and I plan on recommending this property to everyone I know that is on a budget and needs a spectacular spot in the world to get away to.
Now, the formalities behind us, I'll get to the good stuff. I am a teacher, and my wife is an administrative assistant at a bank. We haven't taken a vacation in 3 years (which was our honeymoon), and budgeting well, while getting our moneys worth was of the utmost in regards to finding a spot to vacation to. Can I just say that Conch Shell Cottage flew miles past my expectations. Miles and miles and miles. The lot is adorable. I'm sitting on the front porch now. I can see the ocean from the front porch and could go lay on a hammock on the beach right now if I liked. The garden that surrounds our picket fence combined with the breeze and smell of the ocean makes the screened in porch my ideal for drinking my coffee and reading my favorite C.S. Lewis.
Jane left us with a thorough brief of the island. She exclaimed that the brief is 20 years in the making. We had everything we needed, from who to rent our car from, to who to contact us to take an amazing hike, to who to call if we wanted to scuba dive, to where to go to find some amazing seafood at a good price. We wanted for nothing.
This place is perfect for a couple who needs a break and is on a budget. We know what it feels like to scour the internet to find a piece of paradise that is not crowded with people and noises and hustle and bustle. A place where you can relax and gather yourself. Be confident. This can be that place.
For certain, my wife and I will be back to Conch Shell Cottage, or maybe even bring some of our friends back and stay in Coral Reef Villa.
Jane, thank you so much.
