We’re almost done!
I’m getting ready to take the ferry back to St. Martin for a few days and then I’m going home. I do miss pain in the butt (sometimes) Rome but thrilled/relieved I was able to finally make it to the job site in Anguilla.
Building a new beach house on a small island when you live thousands of miles of away isn’t easy. Trying to finish said beach house during a global pandemic is:
My sister-in-law and I spent an entire week unpacking boxes from the Miami container. Our fourteen-day quarantine wasn’t too bad thanks to the Bubble System here in Anguilla.
Several potential guests have asked if there’s a pool. Not at the moment but the goal is to build one soon. In the meantime, there’s a fantastic beach for swimming. This isn’t photoshopped. The water on Meads Bay is really this color during the midday. The sunsets are gorgeous as well.

Buon weekend a tutti!
I really enjoyed watching your InstaStories on this project. I am frequent visitor to AXA and have seen the progress of The Cottage from when they first cleared the land, then up until August 2019 which was the last time I was there before the pandemic. I can’t wait to see the finished product! It was also nice to see your visits to some of my favorites places on island: the Village BakeHouse, Straw Hat, Leon’s, etc. I was living vicariously through you! Thank you!!!
You’re welcome , Marlea and thank you for watching!
I hope to post photos soon.
