Third Reef’s view is what comes to mind when I think of the word “paradise”. In terms of the house, no detail was overlooked. The host provides a binder filled with information — everything from places to dine, golf cart rentals, where to get more water, suggestions for how much to tip the person who cleans, to power outages, WiFi info and so much more. The host provides all toiletries (body washes, shampoos and conditioner), linens and towels (beach and bath) — it is so nice not having to travel with these bulky, and sometimes heavy, items. With regard to the outdoor deck and beach, there are more than enough beach chairs for the number of folks the house can accommodate, which is really nice if friends are also staying on the island and want to pop by and spend an afternoon on the beach with you. There is so much to do at Third Reef. . . Tons of board games, table tennis, a kayak and boogie boards. The kitchen is great, too! A private chef had everything he needed to prepare a gourmet meal.
In terms if the beach, please be advised that this is a nearly untouched, natural beach so bring water shoes if you plan on going into the ocean behind the house, as the hard coral will tear your skin. To this end, the house is literally beach front so regardless of how well-maintained the property is (and it is very well maintained), the salt water and wind might cause light fixtures and anything metal to become rusty and non-functional. This is not a deterrent, but instead just a way for you to manage your plans (for example, you might not want to have a private chef set up outdoors for a dinner because the lighting is not working but instead utilize the indoor space). These types of minor issues happen to ALL beachfront homes because of the saltwater and wind. My family loved loved loved Third Reef and yours will love it, too. It’s truly amazing.
