Discover the islands like a pro!
| | Island-hopping - 5 easy tips 3 - Use us! We're here to help! Your island managers (we and our various colleagues) live here and will offer guidance on ferries, seaplanes, and private charters to get to your daytrip destination with minimal hassle and guesswork. Our Concierge will provide current information and make reservations if needed, for all that you want to do.
4 - Think comfort. Sunscreen is very important for all skin hues. Hats with wide brims, visors and sunglasses will increase your protection. Wear lightweight clothing in white or light colors and sturdy footwear. Bring along water to drink, and give the same attention to your children.
5 - Tune in. You're on vacation, but you will be among people who are going about their daily lives. A pleasant greeting such as "good morning" or "good afternoon" is the best way to get the attention you need to ask a question on the fly, and you may even make a new friend or discover your next vacation spot! ^BACK TO THE TOP

Why we're special |
| McLaughlin Anderson Luxury Villas President Nancy Anderson | We really are villa experts
We live in the islands, but it takes much more than that to become an villa rental and management expert. Our company was established in 1985 by happy accident. We began renting out homes for sale as a way to defray maintenance, improvement and upkeep costs, and soon creating spectacular Caribbean luxury villa vacations became a way of life.
We know our villa and island managers personally, and regularly tour our properties so that we have come to know them inside and out! Our amazing support team now spans 6 islands (and one adorable cay).
