I found Saba on a map when I was 9 and knew I had to come here some day. I was a tourist almost annually for 35 years until I moved here from my first "retirement" home at Lake Chapala, Mexico, 5 years ago to buy the Althea property which I had rented in the past. In 2021 I completed Martha Cottage at the far end of the property for myself and I returned Althea to the tourist rental market. In 2022 Peter Hytte was finished as my guest suite but mainly as an additional tourist apartment for two or as an extension of the main cottage for the third couple in a group traveling together as divers like to do.

The first time I landed on Saba in 1983 I felt immediately at home. It was like driving into my little hometown in rural Minnesota...a very comfortable, homey feeling. Over 40 years of coming here regularly I've met and been friends with a lot of local Sabans who have always made me feel welcome as a tourist and now even more as a permanent resident operating a local business.

I viewed over 10 properties with both real estate companies on the island in 2018-19 but always knew Althea was going to be "the one." Location is always prime in a property and Althea/Peter Cottages have it! Within 2-3 minutes you can walk to 7 restaurants, 4 bars, 2 grocery stores, 2 hardware/home furnishing stores, a business copy center, car rental lot, dive shop, 2 tourist stores, 3 churches, an optometrist, beauty salon, post office, community center, and our museum with park grounds for picnicking and lawn games.
