One week left in May. Deep water front, West coast villa

This is a unique place to stay. You cannot beat the location right by the sea with the feeling of being over the water and absolutely stunning views. It is also close to a couple of restaurants and right by the bus stop to go further afield. Great communication with the Fraser, Neville and Anita. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful house in an incredible location. Great communication from host.

Pros: Best location ever. Fast communication with the owner and always available. Perfect sunset, close to restaurants. Good spot.Cons:Don’t use their taxi services (way over priced). The house needs a complete remodeling, external and internal areas. The deck around the pool is gone. The barbecue, toaster are gone, impossible to use. The house deserves better care.

We stayed at Annabelles for 9 days as a family (three generations worth), and had a great time. The other reviews that state that this place is super super Bajan are totally correct. All you need is a good stock of Banks and rum and you don't even need to leave the house to feel like you're truly on vacation. The snorkeling just in front of the house is amazing. Tons of urchins, coral, fish, we even got to watch Dorado herding flying fish and frigatebirds picking off the flying fish. It was intense! One important note is that the listing says the third bedroom has a king bed. It is definitely not a king. It's a queen. This was disappointing because we specifically were putting a family of three (with a 2 year old) in the king bed. It's a large part of why we settled on this place in particular. The family made it work, but that part is inaccurate.The floors do get icky pretty quick because of the humidity and proximity to the sea - but someone comes to clean every few days, just as you're thinking that it looks a bit icky. So that works great. It's also just the price of staying literal feet from the ocean - floors and surfaces behave differently. There are no screens on any windows, so if you're zika-concerned, bring a bed net. The sea is loud from the front two rooms, but I slept with earplugs and my mom and husband did not. Just know yourself! It's so worth staying so close to the sea.The little pool was perfect for cooling off during the hot days, and made us not miss air conditioning as much as we thought we would. There's a mango tree on the property next door that was just positively shedding mangos, so we had breakfast provided ;) At one point, a monkey popped into the house while we were having lunch - it was so neat! We operated without a car, which was just fine. The bus stops right in front of the house in both directions. so we felt no need for a car. Speightstown is where we preferred to hang out for a more authentic experience, but Holetown is just south as well, for people who want to live more North American or suburban or whatever you want to call it. The house was so perfect for us in every way except the bed (but like, I wasn't about to call the owner and demand a king bed in the moment, so we just let it slide and enjoyed the vacation - but do update the listing please).Thanks so much for the memories!
