Hello Vince and Deb. Just got home from your beautiful villa yesterday. What a wonderful vacation we had at your island retreat! Everything you said about the villa was true. The villa had everything we needed(except for small beach chairs to take away from the house). The dock and gazebo were the best! We spent so much time out there reading, talkin and just chilling out.I have not been to any other place where one can view both a sunrise and sunset over the water as you can from the gazebo. As you said, the snorkeling was fantastic. We went to other places on the island but straight out in front of the gazebo turned out to be the best on the island for me.So many differnt kinds of fish and an array of live coral near the reef was amazing. I saw several barricuda, a sting ray, many lobsters, starfish, many conch, several tarpon right under the dock and two things I have never seen before-a 3-foot yellow snake eel and a lion fish who is living under the dock! Awesome!The central air was great and the house was so spacious and clean for us six adults. If quiet and relaxation are what one needs-your well maintained home will truly provide that! All of us said we would come back again and it was the best villa we have rented out of the last 5 islands we have been to.Over The Edge restaurant was excellent for fresh local food as you recommended. Thanks again for a memerable vacation! Oh yeah, your friends at The Driftwood all said "Hello". They were very nice local people and we spent a great afternoon taliking with them. Jim D.

Our whole family loved Far Tortuga. Our ages range from 15-72. All of us are active and we all love to read so we were happy whatever the weather.
It is a very pretty well laid-out house. Very quiet and private. The owner is very helpful and all of his suggestions were good.
We also had a cook for dinner which added to our relaxation.
Lovely people and lots of great things to do.

05/10/2010 Back to the real world! I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at Far Tortuga! You have a wonderful home and thank you very much for sharing it with us. The whole place far exceeded our expectations. I get a bit leery about internet rentals you never know what you are going to get and your place did not disappoint. It is a perfect place to have a group. We really found no reason to even leave Far Tortuga. We had breakfast and lunch there everyday and only made 2 trips off the property for any length of time. We went to stingray city and then one day we hired someone from Kaibo to take us over to 7 mile beach, glad we did that as that just solidified to us that we made the right choice by staying on the Northside. I would not hesitate to tell friends and co-workers if they are looking for a spot this is the place. We hope to be back to the Grand Cayman's and back to far Tortuga.
Thanks again....
Dorothy and gang
