I have stayed in many homes on the island. This was the first one I booked that didn't sit directly on the water, and I was a little afraid that would take away from the island experience I have become accustomed to enjoying so much. This turned out, NOT to be the case!
The house couldn't have been more conveniently located, and the design is smart, and beautiful. The views are actually better than the homes I've stayed in that are directly on the beach! It's obvious there was a lot of thought put into building this gorgeous home and it's a home that feels 'lived in' in the sense it has every thing imaginable that you could think you need. I have been in many rentals that are missing the basics and you wonder why? Denise takes pride in her home and by the looks of the upkeep, her renters have also taken care as well. The upstairs masters suite, with the roof top deck really made our trip, enjoying morning coffee without even having to leave the room was one of our favorite things. We had a week of rain and spent a lot of time in the house, fortunate for us we were so comfortable there and the screened in porches didn't keep us from still enjoying outdoor life with magnificent views. There are games in the family room and even on the front porch there is a wall hanging of a sward fish that at first just looks like decoration, but if you notice a ring tied by a string a few feet from the fish, it too is a game (we spent some fun nights entertaining ourselves drinking Goombay Smashes and playing ring toss on the sward fish). It's the little details all around that make this house so special.
But what really was something that stuck with us this trip was we were visited by Leon, one of the Domino boys who happens to be a very dear friend of Denise. He showed up with his own bottled rain water for us (I was told it's water from heaven) and offered to bring us fresh fish if he caught any the following morning. The next morning, true to his word, Leon showed up with the most yummy fresh caught fish he cooked. During our stay we formed a friendship with Leon, and although he doesn't live full time on the island, we hope to run into him again the next time we stay.
OK, so the reason I'm a little afraid to tell this truth about Domino's Dreams; I'm afraid EVERYONE will want to stay here and the next time we go to GT, it won't be available! =0) (hope that's not the case). Bottom line...Anyone who stays here, will not be disappointed!
