Sweet Escape Villa Waterfront Near Babalua Beach
Complimentary use of our Ocean Kayaks & Stand Up Paddle Boards, Water Trampoline with a Slide at the dock, Snorkel Gear, Boogie Board, and the Zayak. We also provide our guests with coolers, beach towels, beach chairs and an umbrella. These items are all included for you to enjoy while you call Sweet Escape Villa your home away from home in Paradise. We also have 4 Trek Bikes for guests to use but we recommend your rent a vehicle no matter where your stay, as the island is meant to be explored and there are several amazingly beautiful beaches all over the island. I have a prepared a Guest Directory with detailed driving directions to all our favorite beach stops all over the island so you can take the Guest Directory in the Rental Car and easily find all the beaches. Option to rent an SUV with Thule Kayak Racks on top and a large cargo area so you can take the Kayaks to the beach and explore the coast or head over the mangroves, iguana island and half moon bay and stop by Noahs Ark floating bar or go to Long Bay Beach and paddle out to the portuguese container ship and then over to visit Captain Oaks floating bar to people watch.
This beautiful villa is located on the discovery bay canal system. It is a waterfront property on 3/4 of an acre. The mature landscaping, gated entry, wrap around screened in porch, double hammock and dockside patio make it your private oasis. The property is 75 wide at the waterfront and it has a 2 tiered dock with a gorgeous retaining wall garden bed with palm trees and flowering shrubs.
The dock has an outdoor shower, shore power and a upper level dockside patio with chaise lounge chairs looking down the canal to the west, the perfect spot at sunset . There is a 5 step ladder attached to the floating dock to make it easy for you to go swimming and get in and out easily. You can swim to our water trampoline and have bouncing and jumping in and out of the water. There is a ladder on the water trampoline and the canal is 9 feet deep with a sandy bottom. There is a 3 foot tide so the water level rises 3 feet and then drops 3 feet every 6 hours. That keeps our crystal clear ocean flowing in and out from the Caicos Bank and Turtle Lake 24/7.
We have a floating seadoo dock which floats up and down 3 feet with the tide changing every 6 hours. The ebb & flow make a nice current to keep the water crystal clear. You can dive off the main dock, the floating seadoo dock or the water trampoline which has a slide. Relax & enjoy the lounge chairs at our dockside patio, float in the ocean in our water hammock or curl up with a book in the hammock under the coconut palm trees.
