Amazing property
The property is amazing and the pictures don’t do it justice! Great communication with the owner and the care taker. Make sure to have Mr. King prepare a dinner one night, it’s delicious! We all loved the property and will absolutely be back!

Paradise Awaits!
If you are on the fence about the place, don’t be. The location sets on the most beautiful serene piece of land. If you want the beauty of the ocean and secluded feel of having your own quiet and relaxing, peaceful place than this is it. Yet, it’s within 15-25 minutes of places to eat. Everyone was very welcoming and it was very easy to get around. Dinner with Chef at Hidden Treasures is a must (order the mango daiquiri) and Fernandez Bay resort as well. The owner of the house was amazing! She responds very quickly and is very accommodating. Harrison is the caretaker and was so very nice and helpful as well. Things to know, be prepared for potholes when driving into town. We ended up making a game out of it. Also, be sure to stock up on groceries so you aren’t having to drive back and forth. The grocery is on the way to the house from the airport.

Incredible
The house was even better than we expected! Mr king brought us homemade dinner on the 1st night after a long day of traveling, highly recommended. The island secluded but still with all the amenities. The locals are very night. Highly recommend getting dinner at hidden treasures from chef trevor. The Beaches were amazing! Cant wait to go back!!

Great house incredible island
The Point House is exactly as presented, incredible views and the cleanest pool we have ever seen. Inside was clean and was well equipped including a drinking water dispenser with 5 gal bottles which was very helpful. The care taker Harrison King was an excellent host. He brought us his fresh grown pineapples and watermelon and on our first night we arranged dinner that he prepared and delivered and was really tasty after a long day of travel. He also invited us to a "Farm to Table Experience" that he was putting on for some media people and the Ministry of Tourism at his farm that was really nice and we were very lucky to be included! He is also a great source of info about the island, culture and things to do. The Greenwood Resort had no guests but Pauline + Antwon still arranged for us to have 8 for dinner and music on my birthday with tuna steaks, was excellent! Beaches are crazy beautiful and all the people we met there were friendly and happy. AJ's store near the house is in the process of getting a gas pump installed and that will save a long drive. Olives Bakery is exceptional for bread! We made the trek out to Shannas for a Pizza which was super, but its a very long ride ($8/gal gas) Gilberts rent car great! We will be back and would rent from the Bannisters again for sure. Excellent communications, info packet and the best care taker ambassador on the island. Thank you Stephanie and Curt for sharing your beautiful place!!
