First,, the home is incredible. The views are amazing, the neighborhood is secluded, the local beach scene is beautiful, cool, and authentic (or is upscale if you visit the resort beaches that are walking distance), and Pigeon Island National Park is a local gem with great beaches, interesting hikes, and history.
But this trip was not perfect.. there was a mistake either the booking so the host was not aware we were arriving until just hours before arrival. The home was being painted. Marie found us a place to stay nearby, revised her renovation schedule, had the home cleaned and prepped, and by 10:00 am the next morning we were at the home. Sometimes the truly great hosts are defined best when the unexpected happens. Marie took care of us.
And I cannot leave a review without commenting on the house hosts - Esther and Cyrus, who went the extra mile to prep the home on short notice for our arrival.
We LOVED our stay in Gros Islet and cannot wait to visit again!
