AAAAAAAAAMAZING!
 |

This villa is hands-down THE MOST AMAZING PLACE you will ever stay. I kept saying "I am in Heaven" so many times that I felt mid-week that I had to change it to "I am in Paradise."
It is absolute perfection. Everyone around you is so helpful with every single little detail. Rho, the housekeeper, could not be more loving. She even picked flowers for my birthday and put them in a vase for me.
Presley came by often to make sure the pool was picturesque. Nancy was there for any question. And so we were able to just sit back and RELAX in the most beautiful place I have ever been. I wish that we could have stayed FOREVER!
This truly is the BEST vacation spot - the beach is RIGHT there - and I mean RIGHT THERE - amazing restaurants VERY close by: Big Fish, Canoa's, Mr. Busby's, and Beau Beau's - all just a short walk down the pristine beach.
There is a spa around the corner with great daily specials - and just so many wonderful spaces to sit and just enjoy the peaceful sounds of the waves.
The other thing not to miss is the awesome sunrise - as you look out the Master bedroom the sun will come up right in front of you - the sky is so broad and magnificent that I must have taken 100 pictures of just that.
The home is perfect - it has everything that you need for days you just want to eat in - shower outside so you can wash off your sandy feet - showers inside that are sublime - and a ton of space to just stretch out.
My son and I went (he is 31 now) and he went snorkeling and saw the most outrageously gorgeous fish! The only thing to know is that you need to be a strong swimmer - but if you are - go!
We then spent every night curled up in front of the TV watching a movie. One night we sat outside and listened to the great music coming from Beau Beau's.
Treat yourself by going to Heaven on earth!

Everything and more. Nothing can beat the location of the Coral Beach Club and specifically the "Alabaster".
From the early morning sun rise, comfort of lounging on the patio just steps from the crystal clear turquoise water of the atlantic Ocean and proximity to shops and restaurants ... What more can one wish for. The ideal vacation.

I'm writing this while in the Alabaster Ocean Front Villa!

My spouse and I LOVE this place. Our villa is directly on the water and is an oasis!!
My advise? Rent a car from the airport, drive up like we did (it's safe, relax!) and make this your home base.
From here, you have the best of all worlds - 1> You can drive down to the Boardwalk and parking is easy. 2> You can drive up to Grand Case (French Side) which is extremely easy to get to and have dinner on the main street.
Most of the top restaurants on this entire island are in Grand Case. Again, it's extremely safe there and plenty of free parking. (although this old man pretends he works in the parking lot and wants money from you - Just say that you'll get back to him and walk away.. he's harmless! 3> From the Villa, drive up and past Grand Case and continue to Marigot with free parking! Enjoy the area up there and
ALSO take the ferry to Anguilla, which will change your life! Get off the ferry and ask for "TOPPY" the cab driver and he'll give you a tour and bring you to the most beautiful beach on the planet - Shoal Beach!
Roads are easy to drive around and there is nothing to be afraid of.
Oh, and as for the Villa itself here, it's beautiful, flawless and there are awesome restaurants next to the Club. CHECK OUT Canoa Restaurant! We ate there many nights until we fell in love with Grand Case!
We traveled as a couple

Truly a Paradise

Let me just start by saying that my family and I will definitely be returning! We absolutely loved the villa and all its amenities, all the staff and even locals of the island were so nice and polite.
The 3 days we spent there were just a taste of paradise, no other place on the island can compare although we visited the Westin for dinner and dessert options a few times nothing can beat the feeling of coming to the villa and relaxing in the great spacious space ! My kids kept telling "Mom" you did good!"
The reception to the tags were a little rough at times with signal going in and out constantly but with beautiful ocean that sits outside who wants to watch TV! :) I sure didn't mind my kids came with all their iPhones laptops and iPads so having the Wi-Fi was great while the Tvs were out. No biggie!
My 9 month old baby had a blast crawling around because the maid Stefan made sure the floors were spotless. She is so sweet and tidy ups the place wonderfully.
My 2 boys loved the outside shower and pool beach being so close I could watch them from the patio. That was a huge plus for my husband and I.
The only issue that was quickly resolved was the pool the 1st day we arrived was not ready and was below filter level in speaking to pool guy he advised the pool may have some leak but quickly kept filling it with water and it was ready by the next day.
My kids also enjoyed the gym and the roof view with my husband, they went everyday. Thanks so much for renting out your villa to us we had fabulous time.
Sorry I just wrote this but life takes over when you arrive home from vacation anyways We can't wait to come back, we are looking forward to it already!!!!!!
Thanks,

Simply the best arrangement in the Carribean!

We just returned from a week at the Alabaster unit. It was fantastic. The villa was very attractively appointed and the set up was perfect. Having a beach front unit with our own pool was perfect.
We could look at the beautiful view while running right in the villa for another cocktail. The location of Coral Beach Club is perfect.
We had a car, which was great for exploring the island during the day, but if we didn't want to venture far at night there are 3 fabulous restaurants within steps...Canoa, Big Fish and our go to location, Mr. Busby's/Daniels. We tried all three several times. Mr. Busby's also has great pizza that they delivered right down the beach to our villa!
The only slight negative that I would have from our entire stay was the beds....they were very uncomfortable. You get used to it, but its rough on the back! The staff at CBC was very attentive and took great care of the grounds, the villa and any request we had! We had wifi access all week with no problem.
Take the short drive to the French side of the island to Oyster Bay. It is an adorable area with a European flair. There are several great restaurants to visit there. Also be sure to visit Maho Bay, the views of the planes landing overhead is fun to see.
While we were out and about we also enjoyed a meal at Pineapple Pete's and Lees Roadside Grill. Very yummy!
Last but not least, the escort to the villa after we picked up the car was perfect. The roads and directions can be a bit challenging until you get the lay of the land.
We would recommend a stay at Coral Beach Club for a fantastic vacation!
