The perfect paradise
This property is the epitome of paradise! From its breathtaking views, to the impeccable service provided by Stephanie and her staff, this experience was truly paradise on earth. The property was stunning with every amenity you could want or need. We booked this property to host our wedding, and Stephanie went above and beyond in helping us plan everything; from numerous recommendations to giving us a personalized wedding gift, to helping us rearrange canceled flights, Stephanie could not have been a better host. We are forever grateful for the incredible memories we share with you at your home!

Unbelievable views
Best view and setup we’ve ever had on vacation. The infinity pool, steps to a private beach, and access to crystal clear waters were unbelievable. We rented jet skis on two separate days and were able to access nearby beaches (loved Tropic of Cancer) and private islands. The Cut was very cool. Everyone we met on the island, including chefs (Chef Paul), drivers, and boat captains (Antonio), were great to work with. The homeowner, Stephanie, and house manager, Uncle B, were incredibly responsive. All in all, an amazing stay at an amazing location. We will be back!

OK but not great!
Location is much further and rough to get to the house. There are really no stores to support in the area. House was not ready at 4 for checking. Power shades in master did not work so I had to climb on a ladder every day to push a manual button. Master bath toilet room light did not work. Master shower would fill up and not drain. Power outage first night, generator did not turn on. Hot tub heater was rotted out and did not us hot tub for 2 days. House had multiple water leaks during rain storm. The beach was non existent due to waves versus what the pictures showed in listing. Pool was freezing, asked if I could pay to heat it and was told no. The "master" bedrooms upstairs do not have bathrooms. House ran out of water multiple times. Whats apped property manager but got very few responses. Pots and pans had rust on them. Cigarette butts from prior guests on table. Was looking for a luxury experience, but did not feel I got what I was looking for.

The property and the views are outstanding. We got a little unlucky with the weather, but Shades of Blue is an amazing setting. Any issues we had were quickly addressed. The property manager even brought us a grill!

Bit of Heaven
Shades of Blue was an absolute slice of what Heaven would probably be like. We had a total of 18 guests. that ranged from 7months old to late 40's. Everyone had plenty of space that we never felt too crowded. Every single room had a view of the beautiful ocean. We were able to swim in the ocean everyday during low tide. We even discovered a tidepool just a short stroll from the property. The property manager (UNCLE B) Beauren was the ABSOLUTE BEST! upon our arrival the TV located in living room area wasnt working he returned that same evening with a BRAND NEW FLAT SCREEN TV for us. Whatever we needed he was only a phone call away. Thank you Uncle B for everything!!! The house was well kept and fully stocked of towels, dishes, pots, pans, and beach toys. Stephanie , our host was easy to reach for any questions or concerns prior to our stay. Communication was fantastic. Our trip was everything and more!

Beautiful Property
Shades of Blue was absolutely stunning views of the water. A great piece of real estate. The floorplan was well thought out and accommodating for the extended family. It was perfectly located to George Town. We recommend renting a car if staying here. Stephanie was amazing to work with during the booking process and extremely accessible. Beaurren was great and very communicative if we need any assistance while at the house. We have never rented a place with as much kitchenware as this place and we were pleasantly surprised.

Wonderful Stay at Shades of Blue
As you can see from the photographs the house is beautiful and perfectly arranged for a group of friends or a large family. What you can't tell from the photographs is how gracious and helpful the owner is. Stephanie went over and above the efforts I have typically encountered to answer questions and make our stay great. Beauren, the local contact for maintenance and similar issues was also extremely attentive and helpful with issues such as power and water disruption caused by events which were beyond anyone's control, but come with life an an island. The location of Shades of Blue is great. It is close enough to Georgetown for grocery shopping, dining and drinks at Sharie's, but far enough way to not have to deal with driving around the circle of George Town every day. It is also conveniently located near Santana's Grill and Mama's bakery next door. The pool and deck area at Shades of Blue is excellent for hanging out and admiring the unbelievable color of the ocean. The house is aptly named for the colors of the water. I highly recommend that you reserve this house and experience it for yourself.

Shades of blue is accurate!
Oh my goodness where do I start! This vacation was perfect. The house is amazing, the view is perfection. Highly recommend Chef Paul, his steak, lobster, shrimp, fettuccine and all the appetizers and desserts were wonderful. We used Pinkladysdelights for our arrival, she made the best conch fritters, spinach dip, shrimp, charcuterie board, and POTATO BALLS! We had plenty of leftovers for the next day. We took a trip out to the pigs, iguanas and the island bar, definitely worth it! We ate at Santana’s twice for lunch and it was the best grouper sandwich and platters. We used the concierge that Stephanie suggested and she had our groceries stocked when we got there and she scheduled our adventure, chef and our van for ten people. Everyone was so helpful if we had any questions. It was definitely a trip come true for me. Everything I wanted.
