Zen was fantastic. Easy to communicate with (before, during, and after our stay), generous in her accommodations, and fun to talk with! It was nice having her stay on the grounds (though she kept her distance) when we had random questions for her. The house was beautifully cared for and kitchen was great! We stayed with 8 people covering 3 generations and everyone loved the house. The 8 and 9yo kids LOVED the hydropool, spending hours each day in it while the adults lounged on the deck! The convenient location was just down the street from several grocery stores, and a 5 minute drive to amazing restaurants (Louie & Nacho's, Smokes BBQ, Turtle Deli, Lost Dog Pub) and fantastic beaches (Rainbow Beach is our favorite)!! We went horseback riding with Cruzan Cowgirls - which left from a place just down from Rainbow Beach too. EVERYTHING WAS SO CLOSE! It was great not having to drive far to get to anything! Even the airport was only about 10 minutes away, and Christiansted was an easy 25 minute drive too.
We would HIGHLY recommend staying at Yellow Bird House! Zen provided towels, sheets, shampoo, cooking utensils, tabelware, etc. The AC worked well at night, but the house had a great breeze moving through always too.
The only thing that could maybe be improved on for future guests would be getting to the house initially. We flew in in the dark, so finding our way out to the residential neighborhood was almost impossible to non-locals. Our rental cars ended up having a problem, so we were provided a taxi and the driver knew how to get us there - otherwise we would have been calling Zen in a panic (though she would have handled it well). Googling the address would have gotten you close, just on the opposite side of the property from the driveway.
Thanks so much Zen!! We can't wait to come back!!
