“Wow! Look no further.” I rarely if ever, write reviews simply because it is not my thing. I felt compelled to do so this time for my stay at Casa de Cascada. I brought my 14-year-old daughter (a teenager mind you) on a 5-day trip. I love a rugged adventure as just well as having a profound and meaningful appreciation for a 5 star dining experience in Paris. Luxury, relaxation, the beauty of another culture, the kind you won't find in an 'all-inclusive' isolated from the rest of the world, explore this place. No website can do this place justice. My favorite part of this trip - the staff!!! Upon on arrival, the house caretaker had cooked us the most outrageous, homemade Dominican chicken with yellow rice dish, and we're foodies. The house, nay ... home, has a 24/7 guard so it's as safe as a fortress. The staff doesn't impede your privacy. It is astonishing how inconspicuously they will appear when you need something, and then vanish when you want to be alone. Unrivaled beauty, peace and quiet, adventure, discovery, and sports should you desire, all with the unadulterated feeling that you are at home. The house unfolds itself to you the more you look around - little porches, balconies, various views for you to stare at while having your morning coffee, fantastic lighting details (yes, a disco ball with lighting included), we even discovered an outdoor pool table under a thatched roof palapa .. after having already been there for 2 days! Okay, this is getting too long so... to paraphrase the 17th century French philosopher, Blaisé Pascal, "I apologize for the length of this note (review) but I did not have the time to make it shorter." What more can I say? There is not a price once can put on a priceless memory. Comfort, cleanliness, relaxation, beaches, pool, sun, horseback riding (my daughter's passion), waterfalls, cuisine, golf, kite surfing, all in a 'It's your home" environment. I had a blast and simultaneously and surreptitiously became a hero to my daughter! Who knew? Enjoy!

“Peaceful, tranquil and reinvigorating” Excellent service from check-in with safe and secure parking facility. The apartment was well kept, clean, with good housekeeping and amenities and available telephone service. Easy access to the town and places of interest. If you are looking for peace, tranquillity and lovely beaches, this is a place you should choose.

“A Great Escape! Private, with Views to Die for!” I want to add my chorus to all the positive comments. Bonita Vista received a coveted "5" from me (I don't give many) mainly because of the pool bar area. The view was gorgeous, it was a very private area, and we enjoyed the ability to eat outside at the bar, or just lounge on the comfy chairs. Soooo relaxing! Everything about the stay was positive. The cassita was more than adequate (although a microwave would have been nice). The bed was perfect and we slept like logs. Hot water immediately in the shower - wow, THAT was a welcome surprise - and the a/c worked great. The wifi was frustratingly come and go so if you depend on it for work or staying connected - this probably is not a good place for you. For us, it was absolutely fine as it appeared just often enough to respond to critical emails and to post my Facebook pictures. AND we were also able to stream our Netflix shows 2/6 nights. ;-) Barbara and Kris were great hosts, friendly and with good tips for island life. The location is great - very near both towns and NWF with its gorgeous beaches. I highly recommend this cottage. I would return in a minute!

“Beyond our expectations” This was the perfect spot for a relaxing week surrounding our son's wedding. The owner is a pleasure to deal with, his property manager is a gem, and the experience was just wonderful. As for the home itself, it was everything we had hoped. You can see the beautiful view and well appointed amenities by looking at the Casa angular website. What you can't see is the attention to every detail that we so appreciated. Everything we needed was readily available. It was clean, comfy, and we will be back soon.

“Fabulous Villa” I recently spent 4 days in this lovely home and highly recommend it. I have stayed at many villas in the Caribbean and none have been as well maintained or had as much attention to detail shown as Barefoot Palms. The landscaping is gorgeous with lots of palms and flowering trees. The back yard is to die for...nice pool, lounge chairs, sitting area and the best part of all - a great Tiki bar. The outdoor space is great for kids and adults, and is very private. Inside, the first thing you notice is how fresh and clean the house smells. Not musty like some villas. The layout is great and the decorating is perfect..casual and beachy, yet upscale. You can tell the owners take a lot of pride in their home. The kitchen is well stocked, there are TVs and DVD players in every room, there is an alarm system in the house, and beach chairs, coolers and umbrellas are provided. The villa is located in a quiet, gated neighborhood and is a short walk to a great beach or a short drive to the main section of Grace Bay Beach. The owners are great to work with - very responsive and can answer any and all questions about the island. I can't wait to go back!

“Amazing!” check in was a breeze. The house was very nice and the views were amazing! The location of the house was perfect...5 minutes from Isabelle, 10 mins from Esperenza, 15 minutes from the airport. One of the best vacations! We love Vieques and hope to return within the next couple months.

“Great apartment!!” This place fully met all of our expectations and then some! It was very clean and had everything we possibly needed while visiting playa, from beach towels to bathroom supplies and all the kitchen appliances you could imagine. The cable tv worked great in both bedrooms and we even had hundreds of DVDs if that wasn't enough! The wifi powered three cell phones, a tablet and a laptop without slowing down. We also got as much filtered water as we wanted! The balcony was perfect for that morning cup of coffee while overlooking 26th street. The location was phenomenal and literally a hundred feet from 5th avenue but still in a more quiet part of town, away from the loud clubs so very peaceful! Lots of great restaurants within walking distance! Last thing I'll mention is that the owner, Wendy, was very responsive and helpful!

“We all loved it!” We had a group of 6 women that stayed for a week in February. This was everything and more! It had everything that we needed. We were on the beach most of the time and it was awesome. The pool was nice, too, but we are beach girls and love to people watch! I would definitely recommend this to friends and families. We used the washer and dryer daily. Didn't do a lot of cooking, but there was every appliance we would need. Loved sitting on the screened in deck in the morning with coffee and just relaxing before we went out for supper. Sandy at the front desk was a great help. too.

“Extremely relaxing and comfortable” The house is located within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and entertainment. With a great view of St., and the sun rise, you can enjoy your morning coffee while deciding which beach or sights to see that day. The house has plenty of room for you and your extended family. It is configured strategically to allow for the whole family to enjoy each others company, as well as provides quiet areas such as the back garden to commiserating with the turtles. Maureen was such a great help with getting situated in the house

“Paradise in the Mayan Riviera” What a magnificent place! I've rented homes online before and what I saw was not always what I got. This exceeded my expectations in beauty, location, services and comfort. Udi's home is designed to perfection. The staff couldn't be better. Martin is an amazing chef. We will definitely return. It was particularly nice to go in July when we could watch the sea turtles lay their eggs on the beach, but this would be one of my top picks anytime of the year. The bedrooms are all gorgeous and the view from the living room is spectacular. Thank you for giving us the perfect family vacation. It was exactly what we hoped for!

“Tamarind Villa - paradise!” Tamarind Villa is the perfect place to stay on Bequia. The villa is furnished to a very high standard with everything you would possibly need for your holiday. It is well laid out, spotlessly clean and has the most amazing view. It is pure luxury!

“Pink Paridise” We absolutely loved our vacation here. The house is beautiful & well equipped. The sunsets are phenominal from the porch! We had 6 adult family members & there was plenty of space for privacy, as well as plenty of room for gatherings for dinners, etc. Frankie is an excellent contact for whatever you might need & is very resposive to your needs. A short walk down the beach delivers you to great beach bars & resturants. The beach is secluded with rarely anyone there. We even had a beach wedding right in front of the house! We highly recommend the "pink house"!!
