PERFECT, in every way!

I've traveled to the Caribbean several times, both on cruises and land-based vacations. Those experiences pale in comparison to my week-long stay in property #29400. The accommodations are absolutely beautiful! From the moment you step inside, you feel 'at home'. The unit is on ground level and has a large screen-in porch, surrounded by lush tropical plants and flowers. No steps, elevators or long walks to gain pool/beach access. Rather, you step outside the porch and you're there. The pool, patio and beach literally right outside your door. The only thing separating you from the beach is the pool/patio and beautiful foliage.
The condo has all the amenities one could hope for and more! I felt as if I were in a 'home', not a rental property. The beauty of Grace Bay is indescribable. The local people are warm and friendly, in contrast to many other islands where you get the feeling you're being intrusive. The atmosphere is relaxed and very conducive to truly 'unwinding' and feeling 'away from it all'.
I can't say enough about the property itself. I knew there were others, mostly owners, in other condos, as I would see them come and go, sometimes sitting on their patio or by the pool. Despite others presence, there was still a feeling of calmness and serenity I've not experienced elsewhere.
The weather was perfect and the sunsets truly amazing.
Paradise, in every way!
In reference to the 'review tips and guidelines': The listing description was very accurate, as are the photos, but the condo and surroundings are even more beautiful in person. The condo was immaculate, with nothing in need of repair. The owner was very kind and helpful when I had questions about what to bring and expect. In many ways, the island seems untouched, without the hustle and bustle found in many ports of call. Yet, there are a number of very nice restaurants and activities nearby. I enjoyed a day-pass at the Club Med down the beach...Took a boat trip to a reef to snorkel. Had fun on the trapeze. Enjoyed good food and the good energy Club Med offers. One day was plenty, though. I was eager to return to my sanctuary-by-the-sea! Would I recommend this property to a friend or relative? You bet I would! The Grandview is Heaven on Earth! Thank you to the owners of property #29400. You've created a perfect island experience.
