Wonderful host and stay
My family of 4 loved staying here. Beate met us at the house, a spacious, clean, quiet, and fully equipped private home with nice appliances, utensils, a grill. The pool area, loungers, and outdoor table are sheer paradise! We were able to drink fresh coconut water on the lanai. There are plenty of towels and beach accessories available and a nice paddle board and kayak that you can take on the golf cart to the beach, which is a minute ride away. There were beach chairs and umbrellas set up for us each morning. You will not believe how beautiful and calm the water is! Even though it was quite windy each day, there were virtually no waves in early April. We were able to look straight through the water and pick up big, nearly whole shells. We saw maybe 30 people—spread out— at its most crowded the whole week. Beate made great shopping/dining recommendations. Mr. Grouper was a favorite. Try Mango Reef and Hemingways. The island is EXPENSIVE. There’s a 12% govt tax and 10% service fee at restaurants. The gourmet market is pricey. But there’s unmatched beauty here, even if the roads are a mess. Unfortunately, some things we looked forward to were not available or broken--the waterfall feature in the courtyard, the lights in the pool, and the hammock. The TV in the master bedroom didn't have the streaming services we expected. A couple of other things also weren't available, but Beate quickly fixed those. Would love to return and enjoy these things as well! Thank you!
