Zebra Villa, Anguilla
Just returned from Anguilla at end of April 2010 after spending a wonderful week at Zebra Villa. We booked our Anguilla villa through Island Dreams Property (Patra Brodie).
Patra also hooked us up with transfers from St. Martin, massages at the villa, rental car delivered to the villa, a wonderful housekeeper, ....and on and on and on. These folks were so helpful, accomodating and friendly.
The villa was very clean and neat with all the amenities - and what a pool. Although not directly on the beach, it was a very short walk down a path to the Meads Bay beach, which in my opinion is the most beautiful on the island, in spite of the construction that is overtaking the beach area.
There are plenty of restaurants in the area (Lucy's, Blanchards, Straw Hat, Jacala) and there is "free" nightly music provided by one of the local residents, from his porch, living on Long Bay Road! Don't worry, it usually stops around 9 PM.
It was just my wife and I, but the villa could easily accomodate two couples comfortably (with the guest house added) or one extra person in the main house downstairs suite. The kitchen is large and fully appointed, although a little outdated. Plenty of space to be together or alone for a while! The grounds are very lush and the night lighting perfect.
The local residents were very friendly, as we were able to meet many during our daily morning treks through the area on the roads or on the beach.
We will be back to this Anguilla villa again.
