All the glowing reviews are accurate. I'll try to add a couple things others haven't noted.
1. The bed. SO comfortable! I was a little concerned from the photo before we came, because it seemed a bit small and my husband and I are tall and used to a king sized bed. No worries! The mattress is so comfortable, we had enough room, and slept amazingly well. The best was waking up each morning, looking out at the sea, without even having to get out of bed.
2. The solitude. The beach is not busy; on my morning walks I would see at most a couple of people. In the afternoon about 10 locals would gather on Herbert's beach, a short walk from ours. And there are people at Nisbet's, which is super handy if you want a great lunch on the beach or an afternoon cocktail. The house is so private; sitting in the screen porch I felt like we were the only people on the island.
3. Alternative transportation. All the reviews are correct in that Marlon is wonderful, definitely would rent a car from him. And if you want to get around in the evenings, try different restaurants, see all the sights, that's definitely the way to go. However, we decided to hang out mostly at the house, go to town during the work day, have lunch in town, and cook for ourselves in the evening. So we opted for the public buses. They are actually privately owned tricked out vans, with driver-owners licensed by the government. They are painted with colorful designs and names. They all have green license plates that begin with H or HA. You wait at the bus stop (there are lots, all along the main road) or flag one down as you're walking. When you see one going the direction you want to go, you do kind of a downward wave of your hand. It costs $2 US or 4 EC to go into Charlestown. They will drop you off anywhere along the way; if you want a stop off the main road it's an extra dollar. The downside is that they have no schedule, you just have to wait and hope, and they don't run after dark. But we had no issues getting over between 8-10 AM and noon - 2 PM.
If you're wondering if this place can be as great as it looks, and as great as everyone says, the answer is YES!! Jane is a great hostess, and the gift she gives you of transportation to the house and the tour of the island by Marlon is a wonderful bonus.
