The location of this house is amazing! The views are beautiful and it is a very short drive to two of the best beaches on the island! The house is spacious with well appointed bedrooms and en suite bathrooms. The infinity pool and hot tub were at the center of our week. From there we could enjoy the gorgeous views and escape from the heat. The kitchen and the outdoor grill were great - we cooked all week and the kitchen had everything we needed.
Our only issue with the house itself was that the living space (living room, dining room, kitchen) was not very conducive to hanging out together as a family. It was not possible to completely close up the living space from bugs, because there is a decorative feature over one of the exterior doors that is an open oval of about a foot wide that has no screen over it. So in the evenings there was no comfortable space for the whole family to gather where we didn’t get eaten alive by mosquitos. The living room furniture is four oversized armchairs, that technically fit two people, but there are no couches, so a max of 8 people can sit to watch something on TV, but only if they split evenly into 4 couples.
There were also some housekeeping issues, but Luciah was very responsive and took care of our needs. The shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in all the showers was not refilled before our stay, so I asked Luciah about it and she responded immediately and bought more for us. We also almost ran out of toilet paper. When we first got there, the wall AC unit in one of the bedrooms was leaking water all over the floor - Luciah again immediately sent someone over to take care of it - the unit didn’t leak anymore, but also didn’t cool much either. The pool lights didn’t work during our whole stay - Luciah sent someone over to try to fix it, but they were not able to fix it. The bedrooms don’t have room darkening shades or curtains, just lighter white ones and not over all the windows. So for some of us it was not a problem, but others had a hard time sleeping past sunrise. And lastly, the person who met us to take us to the villa the first day was not very flexible with our delayed arrival (had a delayed flight and ferry), so my husband had to rush with her to the villa on his own in our rental Jeep so that she could show him the house and leave, then had to come back to get the rest of us.
Overall, we had a great week, but it was not as restful, relaxing, and social as I was hoping.
