Every expectation exceeded
As some of the very first guests to stay in this newly built house, we stumbled upon a rare gem in Caribbean rentals. We enthusiastically recommend this beautiful property and hope to go back some day. First and foremost, the location is unbeatable. Close enough to grocery stores and Cruz Bay that running an errand or going out to dinner is an easy drive. The house is thoughtfully designed and sits on a nice piece of property with an incredible view. The interior finishes are also beautifully done with many nice touches we were still noticing days into our trip. The house even has a tiny yard, which our children enjoyed. Everything in the house is brand new (from the linens, to the appliances to the beach chairs). What a rare treat in a rental home. And, even though new, the owners clearly put a great deal of thought into what a home needs and it wasn't lacking for anything. The kitchen is lovely to work in and very well equipped.
The space itself is very well laid out. I was most concerned about outdoor space, and there is a gorgeous pool, sun deck and shaded lounge area (complete with couches and a table for dining).
One note for anyone with children. From the description its hard to tell, but the four bedrooms (each equally beautiful) are not reached from the main interior living space. For each you go outside. We did discover mid-way through our trip two tiny fold-out cots in an entry hall that could easily be fashioned as a small bedroom for children.
I was a bit nervous at first about the layout not wanting our 4 young children (ages 2-8) or 90 year old father-in-law wandering near the pool at night. This was easily solved (we ended up putting our kids above us, and using deck chairs to wall off the steps to the pool, so they could only get into the downstairs bedroom if they came looking for us).
My father-in-law found the stairs into the house manageable and then it was all one level inside, as he took the room off the shaded porch. Each room has its own bath, so wandering around at night wasn't necessary.
This house worked out perfectly for us. That said, you should ask the rental agency if you have any concerns about the accessibility or suitability for children.
We loved this house and really do hope to go back some day. Its a truly gorgeous spot!
