Weber's donuts is across the street. Blue Parrot is next door!
20 women in bikini's are on the beach, out front. It's a party out front when you want it, and a quiet place to enjoy with a private pool, when you don't. You can shut the blinds and not hear a thing, if you don't want to. But we love people watching on the back decks, while we relax.
You get a new/fancy golfcart to go to any restaurant/shopping on the island, and can be there in 23 seconds (or walk)
There are 3 floors of living spaces that are separate and serviced by an elevator: 3 families can stay here and be separate from each other. There are multiple living rooms and bathrooms.
It's safe enough that your kids can walk to the parks/basketball/ice-cream, feet away.
No bugs. I'll never go to the plantation area again, after losing a pint of blood to yellow flies, mosquitos and no-see-ums. I can appreciate the privacy of the plantation, if that's what you want. But I can't appreciate having to hide inside from snakes/bugs. Why go to the beach if you can't go outside? You can sit on these back decks with no fear of bites.
I was a little worried about the small parking lot at the house, but didn't realize that public parking for the beach is across the street: there's unlimited parking for his house.
I stayed at many houses before finding this one, and always chase who the owner is, to stay here. I'd try to buy this place, if they would sell. It's my idea of a vacation
Please contact me if you'd consider a partnership/ownership
Pictures don't do justice to how big it is. It feels 3 times bigger than a normal 3,000 square foot house, before there are 3 separate floors. Your in-laws can be driving your sister crazy on floor #2 and you can be hiding on floor #3, in bliss.
I'll never stay in a house with a single living room, when I'm staying with family: I'd sooner stay at a hotel (hoping my wife reads this). At least two living rooms are required for any future stay!
No place is a bad place on the Island, but some are better than others
