Just returned from a nine night chill vacation with my husband and son. We stayed at the lovely White Bay Villas - we had a 2 bedroom, self catering Hillside Unit - the Coconut. Very clean and pleasant accommodations with killer sunset views.
It is a steep hike from here to the beach or town - a car is needed. We had big plans to get to know the surroundings - rent a dingy, do some sailing, maybe a day trip to St John's to check it out. However, we did very little but relax. We read some books, drank some rum punch, hiked a little, ate a lot, took in a bit of sun and a little island music at Foxy's, Ivan's Stress Free Bar and the Soggy Dollar Bar.
There are a lot of party boats that come into the bay by the Soggy Dollar now, but it remains more a sailboat haven right next door at Ivan's. Things have changed though since our last visit in 2006 - unfortunately for those of us who like peace and quiet. For those who like to party it is all good though.
We drove the amazingly step and somewhat questionable roads to get to restaurants in Little Bay and beyond, dodging goats and rocks while driving on the left side. On our last day we got trapped in Ivan's parking lot (not really a parking lot, but a street access which became a parking lot) when we went to the beach and then a wedding ceremony happened while we were gone. We had to wait for all the SUV's to vacate before we could get out. Got to love the islands!
It was all lovely. I am still trying to restart my motor, but I think I left the starter on Jost! I guess I will have to go back for it:).
Photos coming soon.
