We celebrated our 3rd anniversary at LaVanda cottage on the Bellamare Estate. From the first communication to the goodbye wave, we had a 5 star experience. Kelita and Jerdell were among the most welcoming, genuine and helpful hosts that we have the pleasure to meet. Any question or need was met quickly, efficiently and with a warm smile. The sweet cottage is updated and had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. There is a beautiful private little courtyard in the back and colorful gardens surrounding the property. We enjoyed relaxing on the front porch enjoying our coffee and the hummingbirds and butterflies. This is probably the best situated estate on Shoal Bay East, having access to the beach with a short path and then a little further walk to beach bars and restaurants. The sea is achingly gorgeous with all the colors of blue I have ever seen and the reef just in front of the estate is the best snorkeling on Anguilla. I wholeheartedly recommend the LaVanda cottage as well as the main house which we had the opportunity to tour and the hospitality of the hosts can't be beat. Thank you Bellamare Team! We will be back!
