Joe and Trish were very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions. Anita, the housekeeper, was there when we arrived and gave us a tour of the home and property. John and Sharon, J&S Taxi, awaited us at the airport and when one of our bags didn't make the flight, Sharon went back to the airport to pick up our luggage on the next flight and delivered it to us.
The house is amazing, clean, has everything one would want: Stand Up Paddle boards that are also kayaks, beach chairs, beach towels, snorkeling equipment, bikes, helmets, everything you need in the kitchen and more. The bathroom towels were very fluffy and the master king bed was very, very comfortable. There were games, books - Joe and Trish have really thought of everything. Anita left us eggs and bacon and a few potatoes and a bottle of vodka to get us started - very nice. A great grocery store is nearby and having the car was wonderful as the house is close to town but you need a car or golf cart to get around the island.
We enjoyed a Whale watching tour with Deep Blue Water Charters and saw a mother and calf - amazing! We used Exclusive water tours to go to Gibbs Bay and snorkeled with stingrays and sea turtles - getting out on the water is the best. We did a half day tour to Salt Cay which was interesting but not much there but snorkeling was great and has a very nice beach.
We frequented Bahio Resort and Osprey Beach Hotel for meals out and cooked at the house as well. Everyone on the island is super friendly and with the car and bikes we explored every nook and cranny of the island. The view from the lighthouse is beaufiful. We visited the cruise center on our last day and the pool was nice and the swim up bar at Marguaritaville but too many people. Cruise ships are in T-F and gives the island a different feel than when not in port. Jack's Shack is Ok, expensive and full of cruisers. There is a great food truck with jerk, the Sandbar looks fun but we never made it there.
We made sure we were at the house each night for sunset as the back porch is the perfect place to watch it. We enjoyed seeing the donkeys all over the island but especially their sunset parade right in front of the house with baby donkeys in tow.
Covid results at Omnicare to get back to USA took 2 minutes.
