Overlooking the entire Simpson Bay beach, the comfortable 2150 sq. feet apartment is equipped with everything a visitor might need. The long list of our luxurious amenities is shown below. The terrace itself is so comfortable and large that many guests mentioned that they would not mind living there. The view is breathtaking. The building itself was finished in 2014. It was courageously designed and built by doctor who owned the property. The building is so well made that even with hurricane Irma we had minimal damage, although all the roof of our neighbors ended up on this building. We had lots of decorative damages but luckily nothing major. A great selection of restaurants can be found within convenient walking distance.

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.
