Caribbean-style villa & pool, 550 yards from Long Bay beach

A pretty Caribbean-style villa with gingerbread trim, an L-shaped pool and big ocean views, just 550 yards (about a 10-minute walk down) from Long Bay beach and its restaurants. Three matching king suites, each in its own private spot with a balcony, so couples travelling together don't have to argue over rooms. Sleeps 6.

LIVING AREAS
Big wooden doors open into a courtyard full of tropical plants. The villa is split into 3 pavilions, with the living areas in the main house. The living room seats 6 or more, with breezes from three sides, AC and a 55" TV with cable. French doors lead to a small ocean-view porch and to a screened porch for bug-free outdoor dining any time. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, room for more than one cook and a pass-through to the screened porch. There's also an indoor dining room with AC.

OUTSIDE
The villa sits at just the right height for the sea to look glassy and calm as yachts cruise by. The L-shaped pool and deck have plenty of spots for sun or shade, plus a second outdoor dining table. A private nook behind the pool deck has a built-in gas BBQ.

BEDROOMS
Every bedroom is fully screened, with a king bed, ensuite and French doors to a private balcony with seating and ocean views.
BEDROOM 1 (primary suite): in the second pavilion, a short stroll past the pool. Balinese teak furniture and a leafy balcony that's perfect for reading.
BEDROOM 2: upstairs in the third pavilion. 33" TV with cable and a bathroom with shower and tub.
BEDROOM 3: in the third pavilion, down a small flight of steps from the courtyard for extra privacy.
