thanks for the report and the pictures. I would definitely like to see the website for your accommodation. I do understand about not wanting to publicize the location while you're there. Enjoy the rest of your stay!
Btw, if you find you enjoy staying on the Dutch side, you should check out Beachside Villas. This time of year a one bedroom is only $175 a night, plus only 5% tax. It's even cheaper July 15 to September 30, at $149 a night, plus only 5% tax. No other charges. Includes full maid service every day.

BenP,
I’ve so enjoyed your a French experiences and look forward to reading your take on the Dutch side. I admit I’ve only stayed at GCBC on the French side (and enjoyed every minute there….) but the Dutch side of the island is what we think of as our island home. And I agree with Carol - you really ought to check out BSV - they sre everything most could want and more.
Looking forward to your next installment……🙂🙂
Respectfully,
pat

“we needed to swap our newer Hyundai i20 for a older model car with Lesley. Evidently, this car is highly prized among auto thieves and our parking arrangements aren't secure here so we swapped it out for a older Nissan Versa, The car definitely blends in well with the other cars around the island. Joking aside, the car's a/c works and it gets us back and forth to beaches and dinners. I can honestly say I've never had a breakdown on any of the cars I've rented from Kenny's regardless of their outward appearance.”
For what it’s worth, we always rent from Lesley and usually request one of his older more ‘lovingly used’ cars, not that we go that far or travel to places more subject to break-ins but given the conditions of the roads and the driving habits of so many down there we don’t want to be the ones to put the first dent or ding in a neeer vehical. For reasons I won’t go into, Lesley has been giving us one of his newer and more pristine cats for the past few trips and while I truly appreciate his thoughtfulness, I’m always concerned we’ll be the first ding in the more pristine car.
But over lots of years and lots of rental experiences, in my book, Lesley and Shirley and Kenny’s Car Rentals are absolutely the best. 😊😊
