The House

Harmony lives here...the house keeps you in touch with the surrounding elements in such subtle ways that you wonder why you feel so good . A spacious veranda waits to accommodate your drifting moods and a large green cushion of a lawn extends down to your own private beach cove. Here, you can decide whether to launch off in to the crystal blue seas using the kayaks perched by your side, or just melt gently into the warm caribbean sea.

The Grounds

Centering the garden is a huge sea grape tree, from which the house has fetched its name. With its broad leaves and natural canopy extending to the edge of a rock crested pool. You can rest blissfully in a shaded hammock. while observing your children at play. Behind the house is a private tennis court which may be lit for games in the cool of the night.

The Rooms

There are three bedrooms in the main house ~ two upstairs, one downstairs. Cheerful colours and tasteful art play on the walls. In the adjacent cottage, just a couple steps away from the front entrance lay two smaller bedrooms. Seagrapes manages to maintain that warm homelike feeling while also being an extraordinary place - nothing overstated, but everything in balance - like the sea, sun and wind..

Your house keeper, Laura Lee , always has a ready smile during any part of her lovingly attentive work keeping up with your family holiday.

Blossom, your assistant housekeeper, whom you are not sure if she is really there until you ask for her, them she appears before you know it.

Kurline - the house manager.

Last Day Tipping
It is customary to tip your staff at the conclusion of your stay.
An appropriate gratuity is
10-15% of the villa rental.

This would be divided among the staff members according to their
seniority and service provided.

It is also appropriate to tip your
van driver approximately 10%
after they drop you off
at the airport on your return home.

Typically the largest tip percentage would go to the cook,
with the remained divided up
among the other staff members.


We typically place the tip in individual envelopes for each staff member.
We give it to them when the van picks us up to leave for the airport.


Here is a table showing suggested tip percentages for each staff member at Sea Grapes.

Job Name Tip
House Manager/Cook Kerlene 28%
Assistant Housekeeper Blossom 24%
Housekeeper Laura Lee 24%
Butler/Gardener/Pool Robbie 24%


These numbers are suggestions and you can certainly vary them depending on your
experience with each staff member.
