The chef's kitchen with a blue island and a sea-view window

The best-stocked kitchen guests can remember.

The chef's kitchen

A real chef's room with expansive views of the ocean.

The kitchen is the room guests single out in review after review: a full chef's setup with a big island, a proper range and oven, a full-size refrigerator, an ice maker, and a farmhouse sink under a window that looks straight out at the water. It is stocked the way a home kitchen is stocked — not the two dull knives and one warped pan of most rentals.

“The best-stocked kitchen we've ever had in a rented house,” wrote one guest — a sentence that has a lot of rented houses behind it. Another kept it shorter: “the large kitchen” made the stay.

Cook it yourself, or don't: the villa's concierge can arrange a private chef for a night or the whole week, and can also arrange provisioning so the main-house refrigerator, the cottage kitchen, and the poolside drinks refrigerator are all full before you arrive.

The kitchen island

Where everyone gathers.

The giant kitchen island is the kitchen's anchor — prep surface, breakfast bar, and the place where your group cooks, sits, or just gathers before meals. The dining table waits under the beamed ceiling a few steps away, and the outdoor kitchen takes over when dinner moves to the deck.

The window

A sink with a view.

Of course there is a large dishwasher. But for the occasional rinse or filling a pot, the chore is always better with an expansive view of the ocean above the farmhouse sink — and with light-filled windows all around, it is the place to start your morning coffee before moving out to the veranda, the pool deck, or the beach.

“Pure perfection. A gorgeous home right on the ocean, amazing snorkeling right in front of the house in the shallow water protected by the reef. Quiet house — all you hear is the surf and ocean breeze.”
