The Charming
House Villa on Salt Cay offers the experience of authentic Caribbean island life, updated to today's standards of comfort
and vacation relaxation, just like Salt Cay itself. Located in its own walled yard in the unspoiled historic quarter
of the South District, just across from the Government House newly restored by the National Trust, the Charming House Villa
is a traditional Bermudan Cape with a deep, roofed veranda commanding views of the island, the sunset over the azure sea,
and Humpback whales on their timeless migration.
South Creek and
its beaches, where there is rarely a footprint in the sand, are a few steps away.
This house
is a Caribbean love affair, completely renovated by its owner with authentic materials, European Colonial taste, and antique
or fine wooden furniture.
Screened and shuttered windows are left open to the cooling Trade Winds, reflecting
the wisdom of generations of islanders.
Before renovation, the Charming House Villa was the home of
the late Felix Lightbourne, among the most beloved Salt Cay Belongers of his generation, and it remains a place of happy island
memories.
This unique vacation home is touched by a special Caribbean
charm.
