Beachwood Villa, Oceanfront near sand flats! Most 5-stars on the island!

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great time and the view was gorgeous! We had 11 ladies and never felt cramped at all. This house was very spacious. There were a few minor wear and tear broken things in the house that I reported, and I feel confident they will repair these things. We loved the pool & pool view, and the small beach was beautiful, Getting down to the beach at the last step of the steps leading to the beach, could be a little hard for those with bad knees. We were able to comfortably float in the ocean 4 days of our stay. It was calm most days, like a pool, but a little rougher 2 of our days! This house is close to Pretty Molly Bay and the Tropic of Cancer beach which were also beautiful:) I will say we did not take the Kayaks out. We did not have men with us, so trying to get them down to the beach, and then back up to the house, would have been a heavy, awkward job for us to conquer! We hope to visit again one day to this place of paradise!"

"The only problem we had was the picture of the beach which we didn't experience while we were there. It's very rocky and difficult for my wife and I since we are both 80. We were able to access the ocean thanks to our neighbors who allowed us to use their entry into the water. The blinds in the master bedroom did not work properly and we had to open them using a ladder so we finally gave up and just left them closed. The lamp in the master on the left side didn't work and we tried a new bulb but still didn't turn on. The property could use some general upgrades but I'm sure you are aware of that fact. Noe of the above seriously affected our enjoyment of the vacation. Thanks for your consideration of the items mentioned, Jim Brown"

"We enjoyed our stay at the Papaya house. The beach is absolutely beautiful. Most days we were the only family on the beach. There were kayaks, a paddle board, floats, and snorkel gear. Onike, the house manager, is amazing. She was quick to answer, and so helpful when we needed her. She truly goes above and beyond to make your stay great. We would definitely book the Papaya house again."
