March 18-25, 2005
We are just home from a simply wonderful week at the Wesley House. We want
to thank you for the warmth and hospitality your house offered us. Germaine, yr housekeeper,
was a delight. Jackie Pascher, Island Dream Properties, was instrumental in getting our lost luggage to us in
relatively short order. Brenda, the property manager, was also extremely helpful and pleasant.
Despite what could have been frustrating circumstances with our delayed
luggage, we had no stress, because your property made us feel so at home and
comfortable that a new bikini, flip-flops and a Wesley House T-shirt got us
through a couple days.
Our children were so content poolside and we loved Junks Hole Beach. We
ranked it at the top of our best beach list for offering calm waters, but waves were a
short walk down the beach for some fun rides, good shells, private.private,
private, and so close to the house. Now understand we explored all of the
"Best Beaches on Anguilla" and we like what we called the "Wesley House
Beach." It was extremely useful to have the car and its four wheel drive
came in handy. We had a great family vacation, but still thoroughly enjoyed
a romantic time as a couple. The house is perfectly situated for privacy
and its romantic views are incredible. I never thought I could feel like I
was honeymooning again with the kids and my mother in tow.
We enjoyed excellent meals and tried to eat at only the locals' restaurants.
We started at Zara's on Friday, had Ken's BBQ on Saturday, Sunday at Roy's
in Crocus Bay (I had my best grilled lobster there in Creole sauce)... After
that we lost track of our days, but enjoyed wonderful meals at Palm
Grove(lunch), Straw Hat, E's Oven(lunch), Barrel Stay(lunch), Bistro Phil's,
Kaol Keel's bakery for pastries, and Fat Cat for take away. At dinner at
Hibernia, we sat next to Bill Cosby and he was so nice and engaging and
asked us to take photos for him with the staff. That was fun, but our meal
was top-notch.
Next time (and there will be a next time), we need to stay longer and there
is no question where we will stay.
Thanks again for all your house
had to offer. You certainly made it home to us and that made all of the
difference.
All our best, Sue, Richard, Emma, Lane, Libby and Carolyn (Baltimore, MD)
P.S. It was tough sleeping last night without the windchimes and the
roosters - made be we will hear them in our dreams.
