Bay View Villa was an absolute hidden gem of a property that we were so lucky to have found. The villa itself is well maintained, tidy, and had everything we needed to live and cook there for the week. We rented a car and boat from the property owner, and just like the home, they were in immaculate condition and his pride of ownership shone through. The location and grounds exceeded all expectations. The location felt like our own private oasis away from any hustle and bustle, yet was still a quick 15 minutes from Georgetown for food and activities. Some of our favorite snorkeling was right there off the dock where a family of Royal Gramma Basslets lived alongside plenty of snapper and grunts. Come high tide, juvenile turtles could be swam alongside in the protected cove. At low tide, it was an easy kayak across the channel to explore the sandbar and mangrove islands. We spotted young lemon sharks, rays, starfish and much more on these adventures.The host, Charlie, was also amazing to work with. He was gracious and always looking out for us. I thought it was great to have a property owner that lived adjacent to the property instead of an absentee owner. He really cares for his guests and property and it was comforting to know someone was there should an issue arise (which it didn't!).
