Our vacation had to be one of the top experiences we have had. The Capricorn House was all that it promised to be. The photos on it's web site proved to be true (a rare experience these days) and the accommodations were great. The house felt like a getaway, but also felt enough like a home that we were able to relax and enjoy all of the benefits of staying in a full service house instead of a hotel. The grounds are beautiful and the beach is remarkable. We had to walk for half an hour to see another person during the day! There are some good reefs for snorkeling, and the water was crystal clear turquoise. We even found a conch shell while snorkeling.

The house staff was polite and helpful, and noninvasive. The rooms were very clean. We highly recommend staying in Kari's cottage if you have first dibs on rooms in your party. There is satellite TV and wireless internet, although we didn't feel the need to connect much with anything. We would rather be in the pool or on the beach!

Tippy's restaurant is about a 20 minute walk down the beach for a great dinner or lunch, but we chose to cook at the house on many of the nights. There are two large barbecues and a full kitchen (pots, pans, utensils, spices, etc.). We highly recommend stopping by the farm to get some produce and pastries from the local bakery.

This would be a great place for families with kids, or family reunions. We happen to be a young couple and found it to be a romantic spot. We bet it would be a great for honeymoon. We would recommend the Capricorn House without exception.

Our group -- 12 adults and two toddlers -- had the most splendid
week at
Capricorn House. The grounds are large enough to accommodate
everyone (in
separate spaces or together), and the beach is isolated and
gorgeous. The
house is well appointed and well stocked with books, games,
spices, sun tan
lotion and bug spray, making it easy to move right in and feel
at home. It
was a hard place to leave and we're already working on coming back!

We found this home on [----] and took a chance. It was a great gamble for the place was gorgeous. Incredible beach,very clean, new bathrooms and no one on the beach but us. A really relaxing vacation for everyone but the guy who needed the wireless, luckily they had it! We were 6 couples so when we divided the price up it was less than the cheapest hotel and much nicer. We are now going to only go to these type of places as it was so much more economical than a hotel. There are restaurants nearby so we found we only ate breakfast and snacks at home so it was easy. The house has some great grills but we were too lazy and ate out often or sometimes just made sandwichs. Beautiful island, lots of beaches to explore here too.We were totally blown away one night when a large cruise ship passed by in the distance, totally incredible. Nice lifestyle, if only for a week.
