Northside ocean access and a detached suite!
This was a fantastic property. We traveled as a family of four (kids 10-12) and two young adult family friends who we invited as childcare to watch the kids while we went scuba diving on the East End of the island (though shore diving would totally be possible). The detached master suite allowed us all to have our own space which was great. As advertised the main house has open ceilings throughout which is architecturally very cool, though expectedly not any sound-proofing… but again, this is clear from the description and it wasn’t a big issue we just had to tip toe around a bit once the kids went to bed. The wraparound porch is heavenly, we had such nice meals out there! Water access is superb, we had one calm day and took out the kayaks and snorkeled which was fabulous, I can imagine that in the spring-fall this would be possible every day, but winter NW winds make it a little more mercurial this time of year. Location on the quiet side of the island is great, it’s also got easy access to Rum Point for Bioluminescent Bay kayaking, Stingray city, Starfish Point, etc. Also just down the road from the Crystal Caves and a short drive to the Botanical Gardens, Parrot Sanctuary, quiet East End beaches, and Blow Holes. Getting over to the Southside is more of a haul (45-60 min) but worth a couple day trips.Host was super communicative and helped us navigate the finicky lockbox on check-in right away. Would 100% return!
