...What an incredible villa you have! The pictures on the website don't do it justice. From the sounds of the waves crashing on the rocks below, to sharing breakfast on the veranda with the hummingbirds, to seeing the butterflies dance around all the beautiful plants you have surrounding the property with one word comes to mind: spectacular. You are the comensurate host.

From your inaugural get aquainted home made "rum punch" to your concierge service of making all our dinner reservations, you are truly what I consider an "english gentleman". You were gracious enough to guide our daily decision making after listening to what we wanted to do. You need to let other renters know that you have lived on the island for over 25 years. This wealth of information kept us from making the usual "tourist" vacation mistakes.

The restaurants, the beaches, the views, the sights, the people you know all made this holiday most memorable.....
