What an impressive and well-maintained villa! Upon first entering, it's difficult not to appreciate the true beauty of the surroundings and the perfectly appointed furnishings. Our party of 8 (4 couples) stayed for one week. The location of the villa is in a fantastic position on Jolly Harbour beach...the water and sand are amazing and you can easily walk to nearby Castaways beach restaurant, .
The Villa itself left us wanting nothing....we had everything and only left 2 times to eat in nearby restaurants; opting to stay in to cook and take in the gorgeous view. We didn't rent a car (and didn't really need it), but did get 2 golf carts. The cleaning and maintenance staff were helpful and friendly. I would recommend Villa Sull Oceano to adult couples, families, and anyone else who is thinking about staying here. I only wish we could've stayed longer. :)

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Sull Oceano. It was as beautiful as the pictures show…. right on a wonderful beach. We had rented a car, but only spent one day exploring the island. There just didn’t seem to be much point of driving around when it was so nice right there. It rained a fair amount the week we were there, actually, many times a day. So we did utilize the covered part of the outdoor patio quite a bit. The good thing was that the rain never lasted long and the sun would come right back out. Both the pool and the hot tub got a lot of use. And the rooftop patio was perfect for watching sunsets and stargazing.

The kitchen was amazing. We ended up cooking on the grill about half the time and eating out the other half. Our family of six rented 2 golf carts that we used for getting groceries and going to the Jolly Harbour restaurants.

The staff did a great job. Everything was really clean and well maintained. They were all friendly without being intrusive. The furnishings were quite comfortable and I can’t think of anything to complain about. We all thought it was a great place to vacation and would definitely consider a repeat visit.

The Villa Sull Oceano is beyond fabulous. It way more than fulfilled my expectations, even having seen all the pictures on its website! The living area was so very well designed; actually the entire house was beautifully designed. The master bedroom has its own area, a second bedroom is in an entirely different area and the third and fourth bedrooms, while adjacent, have their own ensuite bathrooms and great privacy. It was so easy for a bunch of cooks to all be in the kitchen at the same time; there was plenty of seating room around the television; there were enough lounges for sunning and the chairs around the firepit were really, really comfortable. But that’s all about the physical space. Another wonderful part of the home is that you can tell that it was built to live in and furnished for an owner and supplied in the kitchen with amenities that every owner would want and many extra items (like an espresso machine and a bread maker – not that we used them, but another person might want to).

But the best part was rolling out of bed right onto the pool area, grabbing a coffee, sitting one of the dining tables and enjoying the morning. Then swimming in the pool before taking just a few steps to the soft, sugar sand and the ocean. The waves were very gentle and you could spend a long time just chatting and riding the gentle swells.

Our group of eight adults rented two cars and a jeep…..that’s a lot of overkill! We thought we were going to eat dinners out, but once we arrived we realized that driving on the left on the narrow roads without great signage or lighting was too tough. We did eat lunch out some days and did enjoy seeing other parts of the island, but you could just as easily have hired a driver for those occasions. My husband and I do not believe in going back to someplace that you have been….but I truly could consider another vacation at Villa Sull Oceano. It was sheer heaven!
