About this villa rental
Sweet Wind is a West Indian style home that sits just above secluded Hurricane Hole.
Easy access off the main road #10 with a paved driveway . There are 32 solar panels and 3 Tesla batteries to supply the power, no WAPA outages. The villa is very private, quiet and secluded, being in the Nat. Park. It's only 1/2 mile from Coral Bay which sports live music most nights, shopping and fine or informal dining. Right below the villa there is a pebble beach with 4 kayaks available to explore the 5 bays that include Hurricane Hole. The snorkeling is good with mangroves and reefs, along with sandy beaches. I designed and built the house in the more traditional West Indian style of 3 individual buildings with large decks connecting them. The main house being the kitchen, living room, and dinning room. There is a bedroom and bathroom attached via a private deck on the West side of the main house. On the East side of the main house there is a 3rd building, housing 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with a large deck in between w/ dining table and lounge chairs. All the rooms have amazing views, you feel like you are floating right over the ocean, and this layout makes them very private. A lot of love and care went into designing Sweet Wind. Down stairs there is a 10x20 pool and another vert private bedroom/bath. This is my own private art gallery, with hardwood floors, Purple Heart cabinets, fine dishes, antique furniture, local treasures and a bit of humor. There are two separate decks for complete privacy. One of the showers is outside, built with beautiful rock work. The bedrooms are in separate buildings, or pods which adds to the beauty and privacy. There is a 4th bedroom downstairs near the pool with bathroom and outside shower. There is a lovely grotto behind the villa with an amazing stone retaining wall 9' tall and 100' long running all along the back side, that has the BBQ, orchids, flowers and herbs, and an outside shower. The villa has gates at both entrances that keep the wild donkeys out and children in. You wake up to an amazing sunrise above Hurricane Hole. This is the most protected harbor in the Caribbean, and we look out over the Coral Reef National Monument. There is no overnight mooring allowed in Hurricane Hole unless there is a storm warning, so views are unobstructed. Sweet Wind is very quiet and private but just 1/2 a mile from town and you don't hear all the music and noise from Coral Bay
I think the photos say it all, Nina.

Absolutely stunning view! Quiet area of the island. The living room is separate from the bedrooms which worked well for our family. Every room had a view!

The house is in a fantastic location for those of us who like the Coral Bay side of the island. We had an almost constant breeze, keeping any bugs away. We are early risers, in the morning sunrise rise was truly breathtaking. The added bonus of kayaks to explore the bay were a treat for our crew. The house manager did a good job showing us what we needed to know about the house, and sharing some history of the house and of the island. We were very happy to be there, and to call it home for the week.

Great place for a family stay. Very peaceful location. The battery backup was very appreciated as the island power was out 3 days during our stay.
6 / 10Average·Dec 2024
The home is beautiful with stunning views!! There is also plenty of space for larger groups, the kitchen is fully stocked to prepare all meals, and a pool to keep you cool in the tropical heat. However, there are some issues that are not fully described in the listing that should be noted:
1) No central A/C, only window units in 3 of the 5 bedrooms. There are fans, but no trade wind air flow in the non-A/C bedrooms and they get pretty stuffy so if you run hot in your sleep, be aware.
2) The 2 lower bedrooms are farther than you think - down a path past the house, down stairs, and around the pool, which could be tricky for young kids or even adults at night. Ideally there would be stairs installed from upper deck to the lower deck to make these rooms more accessible.
3) Power isn't always stable. There can be rolling blackouts on island power (we didn't experience this, but were aware of it), or the solar batteries can run out (this happened to us in the middle of the night!) We had to manually switch power sources, and there were some issues with this due to time and poor cell service, but really there needs to be an auto-switch installed to go back and forth between island and solar power. Visitors shouldn't have to wake up in the middle of the night to switch power sources.
4) Owner is friendly, but communication wasn't always great. I received messages meant for others, and there was major check-in confusion. FYI
