Our family of 6 (2 adults, 4 kids ages 3, 6, 9, 11) stayed at the Southwind Villa from June 20-24 and had a wonderful time! The house is quite large - when we come back, we'll be sure to bring additional friends / family.
The house / location was as described. It had a beautiful view of the harbor and we were able to enjoy several breakfasts / dinners (and late night drinks) watching the cruise ships come in, etc. There is a wireless speaker system that allowed us to listen to music as well - a welcome surprise.
The pool was spacious and overall, the house was clean. It was well-stocked with things like olive oil, etc., which we could have forgone when we went grocery shopping.
The house is multiple levels, so if you have kids, just know that they might stay in different parts of the house. That said, there was enough room in the master suite and main house for our full family. The bedrooms have air conditioners that work very well and kept us cool, despite the warm temperatures. And the beach umbrella / chairs and ice chest came in very handy!
The welcome guide that Pat and Sally provided was full of great information and tips - we used it extensively during our trip, including restaurant recommendations, beaches to see, etc. And their short history of the island / area was excellent!
Jerscillia - the onsite property manager - was excellent. She met us at the house, gave us an overview and was generally available with questions via text / phone.
The only challenge was finding the location - fortunately Jerscillia sent us directions via Apple maps (we had a rental car - a must to get around see the island). Our Google Maps didn't work as well, but once we pinned the location, it was easy getting around.
We would highly recommend Southwind Villa for the reasons above. My greatest memory - in addition to hearing our children's fun / laughter at the pool - was the wonderful view of the island from above. You won't regret staying here!
