home ocean view caribean (#21207)

January 2009

The house is ample, lots of hammocks and pretty terraces. Linen and towels were somewhat stained, house is clearly old, but it's been taken care of. Direct TV in every room, great breeze, didn't even need to turn on the A/C units. Location was a huge issue for us. The house is at the very tip of the island, almost by the blow hole. There aren't any great beaches around, and it was quite a hassle to get anywhere. We ended up renting a golf cart, which we wouldn't have had to at our other options. Buses are accessible, but the ride anywhere takes at least 15 minutes, and they can get quite crowded. First 4 pictures on the site are fairly accurate, the last two (ocean views) are rather deceitful. Did not get that view from the house at all, they must have been taken elsewhere. Owner is very nice and prompt, but lives right next door. If you want privacy it may not be the best scenario. Road is also somewhat loud (dogs, motorbikes at night). Ok experience.
