This place is good if you are OK with bringing and cooking your meals, and want to do some playing in the water (paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing), but not so much for snorkeling right off the beach. It is mostly nicely isolated if that is what you are looking for, but the adjacent rental properties could have people playing loud music or having kids play. Some locals come to the water to play also, and I was fine with that, but others might not be looking for that. I love fishing, and this is a great flat for permit, but when I was there the wind was 15-25 mph, so higher than normal and essentially not very fishable after the first few hours of the morning (in April). We took the offer to have a cook come to the rental unit and cook dinner 3 nights and breakfast+lunch 1 day. The food was prepared pretty well, but the amount of food and spices purchased for our meals (for 2) was about 2-3 times more food than needed, which meant we spent probably 100-150 more USD on food than necessary, and we gave it away to the cook and staff (this might be the normal plan, which I'm OK with, but it just seemed as though it was obviously too much food purchased for 2 people). The fish, shrimp, and lobster purchased for us was good quality and prepared in an acceptable to good manner. You can walk along the beach here, but it is not extremely extensive.

A wonderful, relaxing couples getaway
A wonderful, relaxing couples getaway
My wife and I wanted a vacation that was as chill as possible while also being as close to the ocean as possible. Never Winter provided both! We stayed in the one-bedroom dwelling, which has a kitchen (big enough to make/serve meals easily), living room area (good for hanging out and watching TV), bedroom (with an extremely comfortable bed!) and bathroom (with a large outdoor shower attached!). Outside of the dwelling, the property has a grill, fire pit and seating area for meals. We loved sitting out in this area and listening to the birds. Please don't forget your bug lotion though, as the buggies are relentless! :-) The property itself sits just feet away from the ocean, and has a long dock with an upper deck on it. This configuration provides opportunities to swing in hammocks on the lower level or catch a beautiful sunset on the upper level! Our hosts could not have been more accommodating. They greeted us immediately upon arrival and gave us a full tour of the property. They also arranged a snorkel tour for us, and checked in regularly to see if we needed anything. One of the local families even brought us fresh coconut bread a few times (yummy!). In short, Never Winter was the perfect destination for our relaxing couples getaway, and we would 100% come back again in the future.

Where to start?? There is so much to love about Never Winter! Our hosts were wonderful, always onsite and available to answer any questions. The cottage we were in was fantastic, clean and new! The kitchen was so thoughtfully equipped, right down to Tupperware for leftovers and straw cleaners. I have yet to see a rental with so much attention to detail. The water cooler was actually plugged in, and not just sitting on the counter dispensing warm water as most other places offer. The bathroom was gorgeous, and large, and what a great outdoor shower! Our hosts even provided a great selection of DVDs for a quiet evening in or a rainy afternoon. Things got even better outside. The beach is beautiful, the dock was just perfect for a morning coffee or afternoon siesta. The use of the kayak and paddleboards was great too. We enjoyed the firepit on more than one occasion. And we can't forget their dog Reef. What a character! He made our stay that much more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Never Winter, and we will definitely return there ourselves!

My husband and I booked this VRBO as a late honeymoon for us. Shortly after we booked the trip we found out we were expecting- so it became a baby moon as well. The location of this property is definitely away from the “hustle and bustle” of everything- this was something we considered when initially booking this VRBO so we were more than ok with this and was what we expected. It is a good 15 minute (maybe a bit more) drive to the nearest grocery store (Eldon’s). You definitely will want to stop there before getting to the property so you have food and supplies as there isn’t any “fast food” near “never winter” (again we were more than ok with this and this is not a negative, just a heads up). The main road that runs through the island is very nice and paved- the road that you turn off on to get to “never winter” is a downhill dirt/gravel/rocky road- it is quite rough. If you rent a vehicle (recommended if you want to get out and explore daily) you want to try and get something that has a higher clearance- and if you go during the rainy season (September to about January from what we read) probably you would want something that has 4WD in case there was quite a bit of rain prior to your arrival. The property itself it immaculate. There are three homes on the property: the home Jess and Brian (owners) stayed in and two guest houses. We stayed in the one bedroom one bath unit. It was very clean and really had everything you would need. There is an AC unit you can use if needed but we found that keeping the windows open at night were sufficient. Jess and Brian were so wonderful; their hospitality was quite possibly the best I’ve ever seen. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests and how their experience is going. Their dog Reef was so much fun! He loved to play fetch the coconut and find the shell. He was such a joy to have around every day and was sure to get you laughing. The beach area itself is nice and was kept clean daily by Jess and Brian’s employee, Eduin. He was very kind and helpful! The one down side of the beach area are the sand mites they are brutal. You need to be vigilant in wearing your picaradin bug spray. That is one thing you CANT have enough of- they will feast on you if you are not. Never Winter is the perfect place to have a carefree and truly relaxing getaway. Thank you Jess and Brian for such an amazing time and sharing your slice of paradise with us! We will cherish this trip forever.
