Peaceful location. Private pool. Lakeside is a 3-bedroom detached villa set in a private garden on the banks of a saltwater lake in a delightful valley location behind Darkwood Beach. The valley is peaceful and serene and surrounded by dramatic mountain peaks. Darkwood is an idyllic and very scenic beach, an island favourite and certainly one of the most photographed beaches in the Caribbean. The accommodation is over two levels with the 3 bedrooms and 2 shower rooms on the ground floor and the living area, veranda and kitchen on the upper floor. Two bedrooms open to a large sundeck with a step down to the swimming pool and sunbathing area. The villa offers plenty of comfortable accommodation for up to 6 guests, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a spacious living and dining area, a fully-equipped and well-proportioned kitchen, and a small utility space with clothes washer and dryer. There is an impressive veranda area that offers plenty of room for dining and relaxing. There is private parking for up to 4 cars at the side of the villa and it should be noted that car rental is strongly recommended for stays at Lakeside. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa -
