My wife and I spent 8 wonderful days here and felt like it wasn't enough. The house was beautiful and exactly as described. Loved the color and decorations. Very clean and well kept. The bed was firm and comfortable. There is an outdoor shower that we discovered only a few days before we left. But I did use it. It was wonderful. We spent the majority of the time sitting on the porch looking at the absolutely stunning view of the bay. A bit of a walk down the stairs to the beach, not difficult but the calm Caribbean water was wonderful and worth it.
The surrounding grounds were beautiful. Keith was right next door, but rarely saw him. When we did, he was a pleasure to chat with. He always made sure we had everything we needed. Keith has such a love for gardening. We walked down along his garden admiring all the plants. Tomatoes, papayas, pineapples, limes, coco plums, coconuts and the beautiful flowers. He even offered us some of the coconuts. It was nice driving to and from the house on the well kept drive and looking at all the beautiful care he put into the property. Every time we came back to the house, I was just in awe of the view.
The house is centrally located in the middle of the island. Which was good for traveling to either end, and we traveled the entire island. Because of the time of year we did take a 5 minute ride to Ten Bay beach a couple times to watch the beautiful sunsets. Governor's Harbour is about a 15 to 20 minute ride to the north. Very nice town. There's a terrific little grocery store just 5 minutes to the south. And you have to visit 'The Ocean Hole' to the south past Tarpum Bay. And bring bread to feed the fish.
A previous guest graciously left a beach guide book. Thank you for that. The roads, or should I say paths to these beaches were quite an adventure. A SUV is recommended. We would have never found all the stunning beaches if not for this book and we visited 33 of them! Each was a little different. Some small, some a little rocky, some that went on for miles. All of the beaches we did find were absolutely amazing and the majority of them completely deserted. We felt like we had the island and these beaches all to ourselves.
Keith, thank you for allowing us to stay at your 'Beside the Pointe' home.
The house and island was Absolutely Stunning.
