Hotels & Accommodation near Governor Michael Gore Bird Sanctuary

We have just returned from our annual stay at Savhaven. The property has not changed one bit. The condition of everything is excellent. Claude and Lorna are the kindest of hosts. This property is more of a community feel, than a vacation/tourist feel. The Countryside Shopping Village has anything you may need. Be sure to check ALL of the cabinets before you go out and look to buy anything. The place is loaded with every cooking utensil you may ever need, and some you will never need. The location is ideal for just about every place you may want to go. When you stay here it truly feels like you are at home. Taking walks through the neighborhoods you occasionally come across other residents, and they are nothing but welcoming and friendly. This is the place to go for everybody. Time with family. Able to be a tourist when you want. Beach and snorkel access. Grocery store, fast food, local food, pharmacy, liquor store, etc. Safe and secure. It has it all and it is very convenient. Claude and Lorna are the crowning jewel. Thanks to all that have stayed here before us because everyone has taken such great care of the place that it was not any different than a year ago. Maybe even a little better. We will continue to go back every year, and maybe more. We have stayed there with just two of us and with other family and friends. It is one size fits all.

I thought there might be a "catch" because this location appeared to be affordable, comfortable, and conveniently located. But to my surprise, there were no strings attached. Amini's place was perfect perfect perfect. We were swimming with turtles within 20min of arriving. We made quick friends with our upstairs neighbors who'd been coming to the island since the 1980s. After they saw us diving into the clear waters with our own gear, they asked how we knew that Spotts was the best hidden-secret for snorkeling on the island. I guess we just got lucky! Not only is this VRBO located on the best beach, it is the closest unit to the water. The steps from the backdoor lead directly onto the clean sands. And though the beach is not private, it certainly feels that way. The few people we came into contact with were very friendly. I highly recommend stocking up on groceries, cooking some meals in the kitchen, and enjoying them in the sunroom. If you can get the full-unit speaker system playing, that's a huge bonus. We ate local food and shared champagne while the sunset over the island with calm oldies playing on the in-suite speakers. It felt like a dream. And to continue the dream sequence, not only did we swim with turtles, but also with countless beautiful fish, several (friendly) stingrays, and an OCTOPUS!! Amini was a fantastic host. She responded to all of our inquiries quickly and effectively. Though, very few questions needed asked. The answer is YES. Book this place.

Wow! This exceeded our expectations! The condo was well appointed and well stocked. Communication was great and check in was a breeze! We appreciated having a washer and dryer in the condo with all the supplies needed to do laundry. The best part was the convenience of having world class snorkeling right behind the condo
