Nice little Nevis house near beach
Overall, we were pleased with this little villa at the quiet north end of the island. It is tucked a quarter mile off the main road near several other nice villas (and a few abandoned ones too). It has a casual but well-cared-for vibe.
The main areas of the house are open to the tropical breeze 27/4 with large motorized mosquito screens. This was a neat feature and likely consistent with traditional island architecture. Temps inside were warm but comfortable (especially in the evenings). Despite the screens there were still some mosquitos but not too bad.
Each of the bedrooms has its own AC unit, which worked great to cool the sleeping areas. The bed was on the soft side but comfy. As a stomach sleeper, however, I did find the pillows to be too thick and firm-- some "skinny" pillows in the closet would have been welcomed.
It was a 5 min walk to a nice beach that was mostly deserted-- just a few other folks around, at least until the small Nesbit Beach Resort next door is reopened under new ownership, which could take a couple of years. Swimming was fine at the beach as it's protected from the Atlantic surf (I would have preferred waves to body surf in), but it wasn't great for snorkeling.
The pool was nice and clean with plenty of room on the deck. I would suggest lowering the shrubs around the pool to improve the view toward the ocean (but you still wouldn't quite be able to see it).
The kitchen was well-equipped but we didn't cook beyond breakfast basics.
