Fantastic home -- great views!

VisitorfromWindyCity Antioch, Il
Review Submitted: January 5, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
My family (2 adults, 3 teenagers) just returned from a two week stay in Flamingo Point Estate. The house is exactly as advertised. What you will notice first about the house is the incredible views of the Caribbean from the deck. While sitting on the deck you have all the privacy in the world (you see other houses in the distance) and feel like the ocean is yours. It's a great way to spend the first and last few hours of each day, listening to the waves crash, watching the cruise ships come and go, and watch the birds and other wild life. Very peaceful!

Beyond the deck, the rest of the house worked out great for our family. Each of our three teenagers got their own bedroom. They were ecstatic to have a king size bed to go with it! The beds are very comfortable. We slept with windows and screen doors open every night. The breezes were perfect. And the screens keep out the handful of mosquitos and insects, so they weren't a problem at all.

The kitchen is beautifully equipped; we lacked for nothing. We fixed all of our breakfasts and most of our dinners and ate outside every night but one. Dinners were predominantly grilled on the nice stainless 5 burner grill.

The only thing to keep in mind is that food has to bought in St. Thomas and brought over on the ferry. Not a problem, just something you have to plan for. We did most of our grocery shopping at Gourmet Gallery because it was handy and it was easy to keep the cold items cold while waiting for the ferry. The ferry is very reliable. Leaves on time, arrives on time. You will need to plan around the scheduled ferry times. We did need to make one unscheduled ferry run because we were late coming back from the British Virgin Islands and missed the last ferry of the day. That cost us about double, but all in all it was worth it.

If you're thinking about renting this house -- do it! The owners are great. They take great care of their house. You'll have a great time on Water Island.
