I would like to reflect on the week in paradise and wine consumption...we always had enough! From the food to the friendship - nothing short of memorable! You guys were wonderful to set up everything that we did each day - we offer our apologies now for everything we should not have done 🙂
Late nights playing spoons
Nobody would get up early
New Years Eve at Foxy'sEvery meal was wonderful, thank you Julianna! We are the pirates in paradise! So glad you put up with us and our costumes, but it was fun to have them at Willy T's!!
December 2024
Thank you for an unforgettable trip! Our first time in the BVI, you offered excellent suggestions of places to see and intuitively planned a smooth and efficient itinerary for us. Julianna – every meal was better than the last, and you were so kind to allow our budding teenage chefs engage with you in the kitchen. You truly have a gift with culinary talent. Your variety, flavor, and presentation is unmatched. Florian, you expertly and confidently navigated our journey with perfect suggestions on where to go. Thank you for being so willing to teach our kids about sailing, and the many wakeboarding trips you took them on were a highlight of the trip. You both provided wonderfully hospitality and made us feel at home as we spent our first Christmas away from home. We enjoyed having Christmas dinner with you! Thank you for a perfect week. We wish you both the best in your travels! Stay in Touch!
