It was courageously designed and built by doctor who owned the property.

Simpson Bay Area is becoming very popular. There are few reasons why: There are only 2 beaches on this island that are great for long relaxing walks, and this is one of them. People do not need a car here to be able to get to places and good restaurants. They do not feel isolated here. And also because Simpson Bay is a nice combination of touristic and local culture. It used to be a fisherman's village and it still holds some of that charm. This combination makes this area safer as well as less crowded.
