Wow! This is the second time we have rented a property with Henning and this one was even more amazing than the first. While there, we actually looked at other villas as we are considering buying one. We went all over the island, peaked inside many of them - using TooMuchNice as as standard - and found that others paled in comparison. This villa was spacious enough for seven of us (myself, husband and five young men 16-22 years old). It was impeccably clean - and kept that way with Rhianna and her husband's biweekly attention. The pool was large enough to swim in so we swam everyday. The kitchen was spacious enough to prepare food for our family and all the appliances are state-of-the-art German high quality. The beds were huge, the rooms very spacious. We loved the veranda - played chess, read, talked and even watched the lunar eclipse on the solstice!
As an early riser, one can watch the sun rise from the veranda just left of Mt. Nevis, then watch spectacular sunsets from the veranda looking over the ocean. We walked to nearby Cades Bay beach and ate several dinners at Chrishi's Beach Bar, affordable and tasty. We ate at nearby Galipots twice - their steak and smoked sailfish were great! The five course meal for my godson's birthday on Christmas Eve at Mt. Nevis Hotel nearby was tremendous. Hospitality on the island is amazing, especially the people at St. Theresa's in Charlestown.
One not to be overlooked feature of this villa is its close proximity to so many activities. We were five minutes from Scuba Safari's Dive Shop for our dives - do go see Ellis and ask for Elvin to take you diving. Tell him Roseann sent you! We also returned to the same location at Oulie Beach for windsurfing. Nisbet Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches is perhaps 15 minutes away. We were in and out of Charlestown for shopping, church, sightseeing and sailing (go with the 55-ft schooner The Star; we chartered them for a glorious afternoon to St. Kitts and snorkeling). To summit the mountain, contact Linnell at Sun Rise Tours. Henning keeps a book there for all nearby activities complete with locations and phone numbers.
So, there you have it. A great big, clean, spacious villa with awesome views, great design and furnishings. Look no further for truly a wonderful place for privacy, yet near everywhere you want to go on Nevis. Oh, and that bathroom? Everyone wanted to use our shower!! Book your trip here, we certainly plan to return!!
