So Fun!

We had a great time with Jo and Loren. Jo cooks AMAZING food and Loren tells many stories of sailing over the years. They were so accommodating when our flight came in early, and took us to snorkel a ship wreck near their boat, and to nearby Honeymoon beach, both of which we loved. Their cats were an added source of joy. Highly recommend staying here. They made us feel like family! We already miss them!

I'd come back just for the crew

The hosts were very flexible and accommodating with my goals for the trip. I wanted to do a night kayak trip (third party) and with the house rules I was concerned the timing would conflict how I'd get back to the boat that night. I didn't end up going on that adventure, but I appreciate they were willing to work with me.

Great hosts. Fantastic views. Jo is a terrific cook. Lots of local knowledge. Their sailboat is beautify designed and very cozy. A fantastic place to relax. Their cats, Raga and Muffin willingly share their home too. A swim in the Caribbean is never more than a few steps.

Love our new "Aunt" Jo and "Uncle" Loren!

What a fantastic time we had. I could not have asked for better people to spend time with. Accommodations were great, the time to relax and play was ample, and our CHef Jo was amazing! We have vegans and carnivores, and she always asked and suggested and made it seem like she could cook anything to perfection. Please, even though she will ask and make suggestions for breakfast and dinner, just let her whip up anything she wants because it was always excellent. I am just sad we only did two days. But we will be back!!! I have a 13 and 17-year-old, and they loved the boat and the cats!! It was a unique and wonderfully different adventure, and so happy we picked Jo and Loren to have this adventure with!
