The View from front porch
From the bedrooms, the living room and the ocean front porch you have a nice view on the Atlantic Ocean and miles of beautiful pink sanded beach, ideal for walks. Should you prefer to stay in bed a little bit longer, you can watch the sunrise directly from your bed.
View when you wake up
The sunrise observed from your master bedroom.
Masterbedroom
The spacious house (approx. 2600 sqft) has two bedrooms (master and guest bedroom, both with a view to the Atlantic and the beach front), 2 bathrooms (each with a shower, 2 sinks, and toilet). The master bedroom is equipped with a large closet section and a king size bed.
The guest bedroom has a queen size bed and a smaller closet section. Towels and bed sheets are provided, washing machine is available.
The Kitchen
There is a large kitchen area with a bar section. The kitchen is fully equipped (fridge with deep freezer, modern stove with ceramic stove top, coffee machine, blender, toaster, microwave, ice crasher, shaker, pots and pans of different sizes etc.) and the kitchen and bar counter tops are covered with small French style ceramic tiles.
Living Area
The living room is equipped with a teak wood dining table with five chairs, which can also be used outside on the ocean front porch, and a rattan couch set (1 three and 1 two seater, and arm chair, 1 main and 2 side tables) and a rocking chair. Sitting there you have a direct view to the front porch, the front garden planted with palm trees and the Atlantic Ocean. Palm trees in the garden also provide you with shade if you like to place your launching chair underneath.
The Porches
The ocean front porch is ideal for watching watching the sunrise, the sea, or the stars and the moon at night. It is roofed to permit you to sit there in the shade also during the hotter hours of the day. There is an outdoor shower right beside it.
The back porch at the entrance of the house is ideal if the breeze is too strong on the other side or for watching the sunset behind an area planted with coconut palm trees.
The Beach
This is just one view of the wonderful pink sanded beach right in front of the house.
Underwater rocks and a reef are located directly in front of the property, which make the place ideal for snorkelling or diving (diving equipment including oxygen bottles may be obtained from Sands Diving Store in Governor's Harbour). Should the breeze at the Atlantic side be too strong and the sea too rough, one of the nicest Caribbean side bays, Alabaster Bay, is only a five minutes drive away. Instead of watching the sunset in front of a nice palm scenario from the Villa, you may prefer to drive there and watch the sun setting directly on the horizon of the Caribbean Sea.
