What an amazing stay! The villa is lovely and tucked away nicely. The rooms are spacious, clean, and nicely appointed. We were a party of 6 adults and two children under the age of two. We were provided with a cot, cot bedding, and a pack 'n' play and could not have been happier! We cooked at the house every day and the kitchen was well appointed with the exception of a coffee maker. The lack of a coffee maker does not reflect poorly on the house as it seems instant coffee is the strong preference on the island, so we switched to making cold brew instead. Life was good!
Jeff arranged for two cars to be dropped off at the villa and they were waiting for us when we arrived. He also arranged transfers to/from the airport with Raymond who was lovely and I highly recommend! Raymond's daughter, Stephanie, handled all the car rentals. We realized a short time after arrival that we'd forgotten a car seat and considered renting or buying one before we thought of reaching out to Jeff for help. He got in contact with Stephanie who loaned us a car seat for the duration of our trip. We truly appreciated the kindness Stephanie, Raymond, and Jeff extended us during our stay. Rent this farmhouse and you will not be disappointed.
Here are a few tidbits that may interest other potential renters:
• There is no dryer, but there are spacious clothes lines, and a lot of clothes pins
• The hot water tank is small and will not support extended showers for multiple people
• There is a small grocery store nearby that is an easy walk
• The buses are nice, new, cheap and stop nearby
• The pool is not heated, so it was hit or miss whether we went swimming in late September
• The largest bedroom's bathroom has a tub with a hand held sprayer but no shower. This was great for bathing kids!
• Air conditioning in your room is coin operated but cheap.
• Only one front door key will be provided, so plan accordingly! We had a designated hiding spot since our group often split up
• The church bells ring all day & night, which I rather liked but some in the group found that it could occasionally disturb their sleep
• Many, but not all, of the bedrooms have black out curtains which is awesome
