We have rented houses all over the Caribbean for more than twenty years. We only rent upscale properties and are very tough critics. In all my years, I have never written a review on a property, but this house and its owner deserve to be recognized. We rented Kaiconut for three weeks in July of 2010.
KaiConut is an expansive beachfront house that is maintained in pristine condition. There are two huge master suites on opposite ends of the house that provide excellent privacy when traveling with another couple. There are two other bedrooms and a sleeping den (pull-out queen sofa bed) to accomodate larger parties. Matressses and bedding are uniformly comfortable, though upgraded sheets would be nice. The furnishings are not elaborate, but they are modern, comfortable and spotlessly clean. There are televisions in alll bedrooms, so the kids do not have to fight about what to watch. I am a serious cook and can vouch for the fact that the kitchen is fully equipped - including most any gadget you could possibly want. There are tons of towels, washcloths, dish towels, etc and they are of good quality. The house is equipped with a bottled water dispenser, so there's no need to buy bottled water at the grocery store. Don't bother lugging your laptop through security - the house has one hard wired into its high speed internet service. The entire house is air conditioned and has lots of ceiling fans - you will be extremely comfortable, even in summer.
Outside, there is a screened porch with ceiling fans where you will likely spend lots of time - it is a wonderful, large space where we fed nine comfortably! The pool is spotless and, like the grounds, serviced every week. The pool deck / terrace is huge and has steps down to the beach. If you turn right on the beach you can walk for an hour (dragging along a nine year old who was looking at every sea shell) and end up at Rum Point.
The sea floor in front of the house is mostly turtle grass and it provides interesting snorkeling. There are tons fo spiny lobsters and you can easily catch some for dinner - please only take what you are going eat. You'll also see rays, sea stars and perhaps a turtle or two.
The house is a five minute walk from Kaibo Restaurant/Bar - excellent food. Don't miss the barbecue on Tuesday evening. You can drive to Rum Point beach in three minutes, or so.
KaiCocnut provides comfort, security, privacy, a very quiet setting and a glorious sunset to watch every night. Highly recommended.
