Emily was sweet and the view is nice. I do feel that the listing is grossly misleading. The place is filthy, I do not think it has been cleaned in years. There was dust and cobwebs on everything, the dishes are dirty and the screens have holes that let bugs in. You cannot flush toilet paper or even when u pee. You have to save the toilet paper in the garbage and it sits in the heat all day. The bathroom grout has mold and the shower is not graded so you will have a lake in the bathroom when you shower (but they do put brooms in both showers so you can sweep the water into the drain as you shower). “Chefs kitchen” listed but we were told we could not use the oven (toaster oven only). Master is the only room with AC, they do offer fans but the fans have a thick layer of dirt and dust on them. No mattress just three layers of foam covered with a sheet. Furniture is just a wood couch/chairs with cheap lawn cushions, no comfortable seating anywhere. This place is so dirty that I didn’t want to use the AC in the master because I was worried because I was worried I would get legionnaires from it. I have exercise induced asthma but never had problems if not exercising. This place was so dirty that I was using my rescue inhaler constantly when there. Once I would go out for the day I was fine, only to have problems again within minutes of returning.

We loved our stay at the Orchid Garden. It was wonderfully quiet and peaceful, the beaches are all about 25-30 min away. Our hostess Emily did a great job responding to my questions on the front end and was also very welcoming and helpful while we were there. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!

The view from the top deck was amazing. You could see miles of ocean and many other islands! Host communicated well and very friendly.
The property offers quiet seclusion with stunning views and unique decor. Guests love the rooftop stargazing, comfortable beds, and proximity to snorkeling spots. Highly recommended for a relaxing and memorable stay.
