We recently stayed at Villa Bashert and thought it was the BEST vacation we have ever had. Everything was super! The house is modern and well-appointed.
ROOMS - Big, comfortable beds. Soft linens. Each room had its own bathroom with sink and shower, fan, TV, and AC. Two of the rooms have "outdoor" showers. It was sooooo nice having the Caribbean breeze while showering.
KITCHEN - Open and spacious. The owners thought of every detail. They had a multitude of fresh fruit and multiple large jugs of drinking water ready for us. They also supplied bottled water, local beer, and lots of snacks! The dishwasher worked nicely. All of the appliances are new. They have a coffee maker, blender, and even a Bullet for shakes. There are so many utensils, you can't count them all. They also had foil, ziplocks, tupperware, etc. You feel very much at home.
OUTDOOR - It is beautiful and exactly as pictured. There is a bi-level deck and the furniture is modern and well-built. There is an outdoor shower, which was fun to use. They have kayaks, snorkeling gear, and beach chairs as well. There is an outdoor grill, which worked great.
POOL - Awesome! It is heated and very easy to go into without getting cold. Being in the pool was so nice with the breeze. They also have fun pool lights for night swimming.
LOCATION - You will need to rent a car. After driving around the whole island, including Grace Bay, I think Chalk Sound is the best part of the island. But if you want to have dinner in Grace Bay, it is only a 15 minute drive. The nearest grocery store is 8 minutes away by car.
OTHERS - There is even a phone to make local phone calls. The house comes with a security system. The maintenance man for the house lives right next door.
SUGGESTIONS - It would be nice to have an AC unit in the living room. However, most of the time there is a nice breeze. We did use the room ACs to cool down the living room and it worked okay.
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this rental!! Thank you to the Rampersauds for hosting us!!!
