Breathtaking ocean views!

Host is lovely, helpful and easy to get hold of. Location is fabulous for views across the sea from the veranda. Restaurant behind the apartment is a hive of activity. We self catered which worked out great. As much of the supermarket food is imported we brought quite a lot with us to keep costs down. Island is beautiful with very friendly helpful.licals. Views from Pearns Point ate amazing! Had a wonderful dtay!!!!

Fantastic location

My family and I had a amazing stay at this condo. The space felt like home and the host was very accommodating. From the beginning of out trip she was in contact and offered transportation from the airport. Entering the condo was flawless. The location was perfect and close to beaches, restaurants and downtown. We had a very good experience despite the fact that we were there for a funeral. I definitely recommend this condo and location for any future stays. Entering the condo was flawless

A great place for vacations

The host provided a trusted taxi at the airport, met us, and explained the property features. There are 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, spacious kitchen, living room, and a great terrace with amazing sunsets. There are a coffee machine, toster, utensils, and everything you need at the kitchen. The beach is 10 mins walking down the hill. There are at least 2 great places to eat: pizza and more at Bella Vita and variety of food at Bay House (just behind the apartment). You can rent a car to drive around at Down West car rental (make sure you are a relly good driver). Beaches are amazing on the island, but prices look too high. I'm glad we stopped at this place. It must be one of the best options for price/quality criteria. Thanks the host for provided accomodation and I can recommend it for everyone!

The positive and negative

Simonetta is lovely, she is helpful and available.The interior and furnishings although very clean were abit tired but despite this had a cosy feel. The view from the patio is breathtaking and the highlight of our stay especially at sunset. Unfortunately the mosquito screens around the windows/door were ill fitting so we did get a few biites. The most negative point for us was the loud music/party noise coming from the hotel literally right behind us often going on until late and noise started again with shouting and car doors banging at 7am as hotel workers arrived for work. Having no glass on the windows, which is common in the tropics, the noise couldn’t be blocked out, it is definitely worse in the back bedroom. Past reviews barely mentioned this as being problematic but we were a 70 year old mum and her daughter looking for relaxation so this may not be a problem for other people. Also the house next to us was being renovated so there was unwanted daytime noise from that too, because of this we spent less time enjoying our patio than we wanted. For these reasons alone we wouldn’t go back but others may not find them an issue.

Superfantabulous

We arrived late in the day just moments before the sunset. Simonetta met us in the parking lot & swiftly brought us around to the westerly side of the villa to see the sun setting on the ocean! She kindly assisted us in booking Eli’s Eco Tour and responded same day with any questions we had. The property was clean, had all the essentials to prepare meals, 2 spacious bedrooms & bathrooms and a large outdoor covered patio with a million dollar view of the ocean! The property is a short 15min walk down a hill to the gorgeous Dickinson Bay beach where there are beach front pubs, local kiosks with handmade crafts & an abundance of beach chairs/umbrellas for rent. Location was perfect being located 20mins drive to/from the Airport & approx 10mins to a large supercentre grocery store. It was so peaceful in the morning and felt like home coming back to everyday! Everything was superfantabulous and we are grateful to have found an extremely comfortable home away from home with an incredible hostess in Simonetta!

Thank you so much for the incredible experience at your condo, Simonetta! Everything was perfect, from the accommodation to the breathtaking views. It truly felt like a home away from home. We had a memorable stay thanks to your hospitality and attention to detail. You even took the time to follow up on our well-being, which we greatly appreciated. We hope to return soon and enjoy this little piece of paradise you offer once again. Thank you for everything!

Great location and spectacular view. During the day felt more like a private resort with our own private pool. This time of year constant breeze no AC needed. A home away from home.

Fully equipped, spotlessly clean

Fabulous communication from booking through to departure. Simonetta answered my many questions, sorted taxis and met us on arrival. The apartment has everything you need and the pool area is great. It’s true that the hill up from beach is pretty steep but you can get taxis. Other reviews mentioned the noise from the hotel behind the apartment - it didn’t bother us and was more than made up for as the terrace at the front of the partment is so peaceful and the view outstanding. Highly recommend the Italian restaurant a little way down the hill. You need a car or use taxis for shopping and to get to the wider selection of restaurants in the bay although we are in our 60s and did walk up the hill so it can’t be that bad! Thank you for letting us stay.

A great way to unwind after a long sail

After a long sail and a need to relax the apartment was a perfect place to absorb the tranquility of the island. Situated near the crest of the hill, the constant breeze was cooling and the view was spectacular. A great stay.

I choose this apartment becuase it made me feel very secure and comfortable.
The view is also very unique and special and the chance of walking to the beach in less than 10 minutes is for sure a nice plus!

What makes this property unique

There is privacy if you wish but also the chance to meet other guests and residents by the pool and share information and tips about the island.
