Hike to the beach to snorkle or lounge in one of 3 private pools: Great Expectations will exceed your expectations!!
Breathtaking views of Hart Bay and Chocolate Hole, Great Expectations houses 4 air-conditioned Master Suites, our Club Room and a large Great Room. The Great Room includes a gourmet kitchen, dining area, and a generous sitting area for relaxing, enjoying media, or just taking in the views. Just a short walk from the Main Villa is The Guest House which offers 3 additional bedrooms. Great Expectations also offers 3 pools, 2 hot tubs, a regulation sized tennis court and basketball court just steps away for the living area!
With 55 solar energy panels and 5 Tesla Powerwalls (for nighttime and power backup), Great Expectations is a GREEN VILLA that can operate off-grid even when the island power is out!
Main Villa:
4 equal Master Suites, each with private full bath, double vanities, indoor/outdoor showers, cathedral ceilings, custom Balinese teaks. Each of these suites has a private full bath with double vanities plus indoor/outdoor showers. Their classic cathedral ceilings, skylights, transoms, soft lighting make for a spacious feel. Custom teak furnishings from Bali bring the exotic flair. Bedrooms are roomy enough to accommodate an airbed or crib for baby. This family-friendly property includes all 4 of these masters on the same level in two pavilions with the Great Room (living room, gourmet kitchen and both indoor and alfresco dining) in a third pavilion between them. The Club Room, below 2 of the bedrooms, has Twin trundle bed setup (2 twins) and its own bathroom.

Located just a short walk (25 yards) along a lighted path from the Main Villa, the Guest House offers 3 additional bedrooms which may be rented along with the 5 bedrooms in the Main Villa. The 2 bedrooms ("The Guest Suite" and "The Sun Room") on the first floor of the Guest House are connecting bedrooms and ideal for families with young children. The Guest House has its own fully-enclosed swimming pool and hot tub, outdoor furniture, hammocks, and both have fantastic sunset views! The Owner’s Suite on the top floor of the guest house sleeps up to 3 with kitchen, bar, dining area and grill. The Guest Suite on the first floor sleeps up to 4 and either connects directly or locks-out with the Sun Room. The Sun Room on the first floor sleeps up to 2 guests. (Please note that the upstairs and downstairs rooms in the Guest House are accessed by an outside staircase near the Guest House swimming pool so we do not recommend children 12 or younger sleep in the downstairs bedrooms by themselves.)
