We had the most wonderful vacation in Anguilla and stay at your beautiful Manana! Jacquie and Valda were just wonderful and helpful. Valda did get us lobsters
and Jim enjoyed cooking them. Later in the week we got 3 whole snappers and Jim again was in heaven preparing us dinner.
Manana is just beautiful......more so than I remembered. The views from the pool are incredible. We had such clear weather there we could see St.Barts,
Saba and perhaps
it was St. Kitts or Nevis? The outside sitting areas were
great.....so many to choose from.
The pool was magnificent.
We all loved the wildness of that part of the island. The water and
waves crashing wonderful. I miss that sound already!!! The family
of goats were a delight to
watch.....they played and played.
I think I saw every sunrise and they were incredible.....also had 2
rainbows give us
an afternoon show!
The new phone system was a wonderful addition. We had an emergency
we needed
to deal with and this was very helpful.
Jim's parents were quite "blown away" by Anguilla and
Manana. It was
wonderful to give them this opportunity to share in such beauty. Now
they return to Rehoboth
Beach, Delaware and the water will never be the same.
Thank you to you and Preston for making our stay at Manana possible.
warmly,
Kate and Jim (Boulder, CO) June 2007

We enjoyed our stay at Villa Manana and Anguilla. This was our 4th visit to the island and, I believe, this was our most enjoyable to date. And that is a big statement to make, because we have always had a fabulous time in Anguilla! I cannot say enough about how much we loved the villa. It was casual, yet with luxurious details (fine linens, big plush towels, all the extras in the kitchen, extremely comfortable loungers by the pool, etc.) and included many personal details that made the villa seem like a home to us. One of the previous villas we rented was nice and big and had great views but no warmth. The villa is a warm and inviting place to wake up to and come home to.
The house was extremely well cared for, in both overall maintenance and in housekeeping. Velda did a wonderful job and she added many personal touches each day, as well. We particularly enjoyed the abundance of flowers she placed in vases around the villa. Jacquie was an absolute pleasure to deal with.
With such great cross ventilation, we never used the air conditioning during our entire stay, even toward the end of our stay when the wind calmed down and the weather warmed considerably. With all the doors open to the sea, it felt like we were living outdoors. The overhead fans circulated the air quite well and kept us all cool and comfortable. I was also impressed with how well the solar power system worked (I'm not sure how much electric power assistance the villa gets, but those solar panels were impressive). We never ran out of hot water and the electricity was quite consistent.
Our children particularly enjoyed the pool and swam every day in the morning and afternoons/evenings after the beach. We will definitely return.

Thank you for sharing your home with us; it was absolutely perfect!!! We had a wonderful time and have returned home relaxed and refreshed. The view and the sounds of the ocean from your terrace are priceless, to go to bed and to rise each day to the sounds of the waves doesn't get much better. The stars, the beaches, the food, everything was exceptional. Valda and Jacquie are very nice and helpful....We hope we can return soon. (recieved via email)
