Superb house with idyllic views - 5min from the beach - close to bars & rest
Fortress "J" is an extension of the original honeymoon suites of the Firefly Hotel. Situated in Spring, the site of a former coconut plantation and home to agricultural animals. Nearby are Industry Bay and Park Bay, where the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary is located. Princess Margaret, who had a home on nearby Mustique, visited Bequia in the 1950s and had a beach renamed in her honour.
The original part of the house dates back from 1960. There are 4 spacious double rooms. Three en-suite and one with a shower room just outside the bedroom. All rooms have air conditioning. One very large living room with 2 large balconies overlooking the sea. The pool is extremely private and nobody can look in. We provide all the towels including beach towels. There is a maid service which can be booked separately. The house has its original Caribbean feel combined with a modern twist.
Spring beach is 5mins away and 10mins drive to Princess Margaret beach and all restaurants and bars.
The house is situated on the hill and has marvelous views across Spring beach. As you approach the property, a long drive allows a number of parking spaces. Very close by are Firefly Estate and Spring Hotel, where you can dine and experience interesting menus and special events throughout the year.
Absolutely incredible! Jackie is a very special host who made us feel welcomed, comfortable and excited to experience Bequiaâs beauty and culture. The house is a treasure. Five balconies! The private courtyard with a pool. Lovely bedrooms and bathrooms. Huge dining room table for group dinners. Never wanted to leave!
My life has always been networking and engaging with people. For years I ran a magazine and a networking business. For the last few years I started a private catering company and enjoy cooking at my clients' house when big events such as wedding, birthdays and anniversaries take place.
Bequia is a truly unspoiled Caribbean island and the locals are just delightful. For most of the year we can get good weather. The calm waters of the Caribbean is just second to none. The house is close to Port Elizabeth where you can find restaurants and bars - from very local low-key to high end cuisine.
Fortress J has been build in a way to maintain the air flowing and from most part of the house you have a unique view of the sea and mountains. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty and tranquility.
