Stunning Panoramic View - Oceanfront Villa - Calming Charm

We loved Casa Conchiglia from the moment we stepped foot on the property. The pictures did not do it justice. From the open floor plan to the well-stocked kitchen, residents will be hard pressed to want for much (we didn’t). It was easy to get lost in the views from inside the house (with the sliding glass wall open) and out by the pool. Kite surfers zipping by along with the occasional jetski or boat made lounging poolside extra enjoyable. The views never got old! It was also easy to get anywhere on the island because the proximity to Leeward Highway. We felt very safe at night with the gated driveway and home security system. Mark, our on island contact, took great care of us all week and was super helpful with a botched arrival due to airline problems. It was a week we will never forget...and a house we will rent again.

The Dearings

The pictures on HomeAway were completely accurate! In fact, if possible the property was even more amazing!!! We visited the property the 2nd week of January 2018. From the moment we walked in the Villa we fell in love with the views, the home, the furnishings, the true indoor/outdoor living experience. When you open the front door you are greeted with the spectacular ocean view and the wonderful Trade Winds. The constant winds blowing through the Villa kept us so comfortable that we never closed the windows and never needed air conditioning. The winds also kept the mosquitos away so we were never bothered by bugs the entire stay. What a wonderful experience leaving doors wide open all day and night. Walking around in barefeet, shorts and tank tops. Sleeping with the sound of the ocean and waking to a beautiful sunrise every day. What could be better especially for people coming from single digit temperatures, snow and ice in Connecticut and Maryland! The privacy at this location was perfect for us, private & quiet. Due to the rocky coastline there were no tourists walking up and down a beach right in front of our villa. When we did go out on various excursions or dining it was only a 10 to 15 minute drive. 3 evenings we pampered ourselves and hired an inhouse and amazing chef, Latika, owner of “Taste of the Islands”. Truly gourmet dining at the most beautiful location we could find on the island (our Villa) and we didn’t have to lift a finger before, during or after dinner. Not only did she prepare our meals and cleanup everything, she also did our grocery/liquor shopping prior to our arrival and put it all away for us. The Villa kitchen was so well stocked she had everything she needed and then some. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how super comfy the beds were and how nice the bed linens, bath and beach towels were. In my final comments I would like to mention how wonderful (and patient 😉�) the owner’s were. I dealt primarily with Suzanne and she was always right there whenever I had questions or concerns prior to our arrival. I would like to thank Suzanne and her husband for allowing us the privilege of staying in their beautiful Villa!!! Also, a big thank you to their Property Manager, Mark Bowden! He was extremely helpful. He even rushed over to open the driveway gate manually when the power went out on the entire island and we were trying to make our flight! What a life saver 😊�

Gorgeous setting, gorgeous property. Very comfortable. Close to Grace beach and shopping, restaurants but as a family we cooked/grilled all but 2 nights. Perfect for a family of 5 or 6. The entry to the ocean requires water shoes but Long Bay is very shallow and we walked swam to the beach area near shore club for exercise almost daily. The breezes are amazing. We used the A/C but only at night. We will definitely come back.

My wife and I spent five nights here. The house is absolutely beautiful with an open floor plan and high quality contemporary furnishings. The panoramic ocean view is awesome. You will see a sunrise but not a sunset. The house sits 30' above sea level. there are steps down to a rocky coastline. The greenish water is calm and shallow and combined with the rocky shoreline is uninviting to swim, especially compared with Grace Bay which is a beautiful sandy beach with blue water and a mild surf. Grace bay is a 10 minute drive which while not much is an inconvenience especially considering you have to drive on the left side and the house is on a barely passable dirt road. If you want to relax on Grace Bay you need lounge chairs and an umbrella which are provided by all the hotels on the beach for THEIR guests only. So you either have to give them a room number ( try 202} or bribe the beach attendant with $5. Either way being an interloper is not cool. There is nothing within walking distance so the closest dining is the 10 minute drive. We ate out every day lunch and dinner ( two round trips to Grace bay) The house is ideal for a family or 2 or three couples who would take advantage of the beautiful kitchen and 10 seat dining table. The house is 5 stars but the location knocks off a star: if you want to spend your days in Grace Beach. If you like to hang out in a beautiful house and cook some meals there its definitely 5 stars. Almost all the rental homes are on the south side.

Just returned last week... Stunning villa!! The photos do NOT do it justice!! Views were spectacular from sunrise to sunset. And wow, the sunsets (sigh)!!! The place was spotless and still so comfortable and inviting. We had such a great and relaxing time. Mark and the staff were so helpful and friendly. We can't wait to come back :)
