A true Hidden Paradise
Review Submitted: June 18, 2009

We just returned from a week at this magnificent beach front villa. While accurate, the description did not begin to describe the sheer perfection of this home. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped and well maintained and gorgeous! (Imagine a beach home with crown molding!) Emails back and forth to the owner as we planned the getaway flowed freely, and she was extremely helpful with the info she provided. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, but luxurious, hideaway with lots of comfort room to lounge about on the porch, beach, and spacious great room. While difficult to travel to, it's worth it once you arrive. Restaurants in the area are so-so, certainly not gourmet, and are expensive as are groceries. We decided we'd rather stay and cook at the villa in the spacious well-equipped kitchen. The gardener found fishermen in Marsh Harbour where we could purchase fresh seafood daily. Grocery shopping is difficult in Marsh Harbour and Treasure Key. Not much available, just the basics and very expensive. Maxwell's Grocery has burned down, and the other groceries primarily have about what you could get at an American grocery-- but at very high prices. Shop on a Tuesday. Groceries and provisions arrive only on Monday. You'll enjoy eating out a couple of times, but don't expect four-star restaurants! Stay home and enjoy home cooking after a day on the beach and in the water. We sunned, swam, snorkeled, napped, fished, read, played cards, and thoroughly enjoyed just staying home. Hidden Paradise at Turtle Rocks is a true hidden paradise.
