great info and pics, especially re boat transfers and beach.

Home is probably a 9 on the scale, and destination the same... I would have a hard time rating anything a perfect 10, so saving room for that! The locals were all very friendly and helpful, entire island was accessible (although, lacking in road (name) signs! ), and amenities & dining were quite plentiful! Decor is more "island" than what is typical for LUSSO homes (hard to explain, but not "high-end" furnishings), but all-in-all, the home was fabulous!

As to Turks, haven't heard... hoping all is well.

In addition to 3dh's comments, the view was wonderful as you could look straight across to St. Martin and on clear days see St. Barts and Saba in the distance. The only problem I can see is that if you are wanting the traditional Caribbean turquoise water with sand as far as you can see, this isn't it. You really have to go to the other side of the island where the beaches are more protected to find that.

The house was very nice and the pool was as great a place to hang out as any since I really don't like saltwater! Why I like to scuba dive, who knows? On that point, we didn't dive at Anguilla, but did over at St. Barts and Tentamarre. I would highly recommend Gustavia, St. Barts; it was beautiful.

Has Lusso gotten rid of their Anguilla houses? Don't see them on the website anymore. Based on photos, seemed to be among the best houses of any DC in any location. Were they leased?

3DH

Yes, Tarheel... those two homes were removed from the portfolio last month, as they were apparently leased. Being that I am not in the office and don't make decisions for the club as a member, I don't know exact details, but given economic situations across the industry and country, it was evidently a necessary move to free up funds...

That's a shame, but I suspect we'll see this happening across a number of clubs.

So 3dh, just curious. Did Lusso management not disclose the reason for discontinuing those two homes? I noticed at ER there are no longer any homes listed in the "Properties for Sale" section of the website yet one of the Maui homes is on the ML. I'm thinking that any property downsizing is being handled very gingerly by some clubs. I would prefer a frank statement be issued spelling out the logic of any changes. Sometimes I feel more like a customer than a club member.

3DH

Yes, we were given reasons to which I alluded above... the homes were leased, and funds needed to be freed.
