Description
|
|
Our vacation house, set amid delightful gardens and right at the
beach, is in a secluded part of the out-of-the-way island of Nevis.
Nevis is a small, off-the-beated-track island, loved by those who
enjoy nature, hiking, birding, beachcombing, the varied
rainforest/beach terrain, and a laid-back lifestyle. Black Sand Cove
is secluded, private, and unique in the Caribbean for our fabulous
gardens. They show off how to emphasize local plants and native
species in superb design to create a stunning garden paradise, which
was conceived by Julie Toll, multi-award winner of British garden
design shows. A beautiful wooden staircase takes you through the
gardens and down to a secluded beach with soft, black sand. On our
peaceful corner of the island, you'll hear only the sounds of nature:
the wind in the banana trees, the birds, the crickets, and the waves
on the shore. The 360 degree views show off wonderful sunrises and
sunsets.

Amenities |
|
The West Indies-style house has a lovely kitchen, a large screened
porch facing the sea, a patio with views of the volcano and other
hills, and a swimming pool. There are 2 bedrooms, a sleeping porch,
and 3 baths - plus a sofabed in the living room. Our favorite place
to refresh is the outdoor shower with the views of the gardens and
the volcano. The high, vaulted ceilings, traditional wooden awnings,
and ceiling fans maximize the cooling Atlantic breezes coming over
the mountains behind you. The 2 bedrooms are air-conditioned for the
warm summer nights. The built-in computer desk (with WiFi internet
access for your laptop and other devices) offers an expansive view of
the sea. See the on-line availability calendar and guest
testimonials on our website.
In addition to the house, we offer a cottage with a queen-size bed, a
sofabed, and well-organized kitchen and dining facilities, all within
one room. Both units, which are very private and separate from each
other, have lovely color schemes that complement the local art work
on the walls. Both have complete laundry facilities and WiFi
internet access.

Attractions |
|
Nevis offers scuba, snorkeling, deep-sea fishing,golf, museums, and
lots of great restaurants. You can go hiking in the rain forest, or
along the shore, or ride horses on the beach. It's less developed
than most Caribbean islands. There's not a lot of nightlife, and if
your favored activites involve casinos and shopping, other islands
will suit you better. But if you enjoy nature and a laid-back
atmosphere, this might be your island. And if your wish is to do
nothing, and to do that as slowly as possible, you'll find this a
wonderful place to set about that.
