Summary: We had a fabulous 6-night stay at Papaya Moon Villa. The villa is at the end of a road and tucked amid lush, tropical gardens. Our unit, A Place in the Sun offered sweeping views of the bay and the British Virgin Islands beyond. The unit was meticulously kept, clean and comfortable for the two of us. The deck was furnished with lounge chairs, side tables and a table for breakfasting. The unit was well-equipped for the week, and included everything we needed for beach trips: chairs, towels, coolers and snorkeling gear. The hosts were terrific! Sue was welcoming and generous with tips for where to go and what to do. During a rare downpour that kept us inside, she texted to check on us, and later came down with a bag of food from her own supply. We loved chatting with her during our stay and would definitely return to Papaya Moon.
