Picture Perfect Paradise

We recently stayed at Jimmy Hill and were absolutely thrilled! The place is more beautiful than the pictures are able to capture. The property sits on a stunning white pristine beach. The infinity pool is right there. We had two boys (5) and (11) and felt so comfortable with them at the pool and beach. My son and I actually went out front to go snorkle when a large sea turtle came swimming right by us. (boy that caught my attention!) The house is decorated beautifully and tastefully. I wish my kitchen were as lovely and functional as theirs. Everything we could possibly need was provided. The rooms are fabulous with a huge deck over looking the ocean. It was like looking at a postcard every morning. The locals are extremely friendly and helpful.. The ship comes in on Fridays and Tues with food, ect. for the island. That is when the selection of fruits, vegetables, hummous, pizza, ect are at there best. We were able to get fresh fish and lobster tails from a sweet woman at the hair salon. Ask around. Sometimes you will pass people on the road with fresh catches. We ate a lot of snapper and grouper. Doesn't get any fresher than that! Make sure to bring lots of bug spray if you attract the no seeums (tiny bugs) as I tend to. Also, be sure to bring cash. Most places only accept cash and prefer not to use credit cards do to an international fee.
The owner was extremely helpful recommending places to go and boat captains to hire. Working with the airline industry has allowed me to travel extensively and I have to say this was truly the best property I have ever stayed at. I would give this place 6 stars if I could. Thank you Mike. We would love to return. So many more fun things to do!
