Testimonials

Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your wonderful villa. We were so comfortable and relaxed the whole time. Seeing the ocean from the dinner table was truly a treat. The wonderful selection of movies kept us entertained when it rained. The beautiful rooms made us feel so at home and calm. Your pool is fabulous! We definitely will be coming back to the Beach Escape for sure.
Thanks again,
-Lanita, Patrick, Laysha, Bill, Cara, Spencer, Nathan and Andrew

We loved Beach Escape so much in May—we could not resist coming back in November! Another amazing week with our family! Little Kayden turned 1 and LOVED the shallow part of the pool! Beach Escape is even more fun for him now that he walks! Thanks again for letting us enjoy your wonderful home. We hope to be back soon!
-Alison and Bart and Kayden, Grammie Diane, Grammie Barb, Gramps Emerson

We have the chance to say thank you to a second visit to the “hall of doors, switches and delights!” We had a wonderful time—ocean, beach, cooking, pool... etc. Dorothea and Catherine were fabulous as usual. What a place!
-Carl and Mimi

What a great holiday we had at your wonderful mini paradise. Catherine and Dorothea were awesome. We have made fond family memories here and hope to return as we disperse to London, New York and Ohio. We are sending friends your way who may be interested in your escape!
Warm regards,

We had an amazing time here in Anguilla, and Beach Escape Villa made it perfect! What a beautiful home, view, beach, pool... everything was more than we could have dreamed of. Dorothea was great, Catherine was very organized, and your correspondence and calendar meant a lot to us. We don’t want to leave! Our hope is to someday return to what truly is paradise. Thank you!
-Tom and Kristi, Lisa and John, Jess, Brett, Ann and Guy

Thank you for sharing your amazing villa with us. Our time went so fast we will surely return. Catherine and Dorothea were lovely and we wanted for nothing in the well-stocked home. Everything was thought of from beach chairs to Legos. We have been coming to Anguilla for some years and this was the perfect home for our growing family. This was our best trip yet!! We are already dreaming of next year.

After talking with you last year and you telling me so much about Beach Escape I felt compelled to write this e-mail. We are just back from our stay at your villa. The nicest place my family has stayed in our eight years going to Anguilla. The accommodations, views and staff are first class. You have one of the nicest villas on the island, Cerulean included. Hopefully we will be going back to Anguilla next year and staying at Beach Escape.
Best Regards, Walt

What an amazing week! After a few days' trepidation with our good friend [Hurricane] Omar, we found Beach Escape in great shape and ready for the wedding yesterday. Capped by a beautiful sunset and a great meal at Ferryboat Inn, the nuptials worked out beautifully and all of us enjoyed our week here, our first in Anguilla. We’re all talking of "next year" already. Can’t wait to return.
-Charlie

Thank you for the beauty, the fun-filled adventure, the sunshine, waves and lots of laughter! Our memories will last a lifetime. We hope we will be able to come again and again and again...
-Liz, Andrew, Bob and Jeannie

Your magnificent creation of paradise has been the most magical of adventures for our families! Thank you for having the creativity and vision of Heaven on Earth! The tranquility, the turquoise water, the relaxation and playfulness of living here has exceeded all expectations! The wedding of Elizabeth and our son Michael cast a magical spell on all of us and filled our hearts with loving memories. The pure beauty of their perfect love was reflected in the perfect surroundings! This has truly been the best week of our lives!

Dorothea is an angel with a beautiful soul! And the flowers for the bride were amazing!

With deepest appreciation, joy and love,
-Jeannie and Bob

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beach Escape. Catherine and Dorothea were most courteous and helpful. The villa is beautiful and the perfect place for a tranquil vacation.
-Frank and Alliene

We enjoyed ourselves staying at your house, and appreciated the beautiful architectural details.
-Vita and John

Thank you for allowing our family to stay here. You have an amazing villa, by far the best of my 17 years of traveling. Our family meets once a year in the islands and we usually plan our next trip immediately after. This villa is the top on our list. Catherine was great when we got here and showed us around. Dorothea was amazing every day, answering all our little questions. Veya, the restaurant, was by far the best food we ate on the island (since Cap Juluca is closed).

Thank you again,
-Ethan and Jack

Our family and friends came to this house of so many, many doors from PA, NJ, Chicago and Houston and enjoyed our stay. For Lisa and me, this was our fourth trip to Anguilla, and the most memorable yet. This is the perfect Caribbean villa, from location to amenities. We do hope to return.
-Lisa and Nelson

What a wonderful place! The villa, pool, beach, everything is so well thought-out and solves every possible need and wish. Sunrise and sunset are spectacular. The view of St. Martin is always in flux. The bougainvillea and plants—-so much natural beauty! Dorothea had fresh flowers and was amazingly helpful. She’s a doll. Catherine was a wonderful hostess. We toast the house of "doors, drawers, lights and many switches!" What a superbly comfortable place! Thanks!
-Carl, Mimi, Janet, Scott, Therese, Deanie, Barry

A wonderful vacation paradise! We could not have asked for more. It seemed that everything was right here for us—the sea, the pool, the well equipped kitchen, all the comforts of home in a perfect setting. Catherine and Dorothea were great—indeed we are trying to take Dorothea home with us. Looking forward to returning.
-Joe and Kathy; Jeff, Trish, Taylor (11), Lindsay (8), Kendall (4); Julian and Grace; Bob

Thank you for sharing your home with us. We came for our daughter’s wedding on Mead’s Bay. Staying at Beach Escape made us feel like we were at home. Many thanks and appreciation to Dorothea and Catherine! For many of us in this group, it was our first trip to the Caribbean and the villa made it more special.
-Ashok and Profella; Vikas, Malu, Pooja and Unnalti

Thank you very much for the use of your beautiful villa. Our family enjoyed it greatly! We enjoyed the pool and everyone rested! We love the island and the beaches are all beautiful. Our entire family enjoyed sharing your house and our own space here.
-The L’s (all 14)

Your wonderful home made our sixth visit to Anguilla exceptional. The location is superb and having the beach so close was an added treat. The box of Legos was a special attraction for our grandson. Catherine and Dorothea were great and took wonderful care of us. The most difficult part of this trip was leaving. The breeze was blowing as it did our entire stay and was almost too enticing to leave. We hope to come back again.
-The C, T and R families

Your villa is stunning and has a perfect setup right on the beach! Every detail has been thought through thoroughly! We love Dorothea—she is amazing! Thank you very much for having us to stay in your beautiful house and thank you to Catherine.
-Issy, Rose, Alice, Will, Joanna x 2, Viv

We came to the beautiful and restful Anguilla for our son’s wedding. It was a glorious affair. Your house is wonderful and we appreciated all the amenities. Thanks for sharing your house, the views of St. Martin and the whole patio area are fabulous.
-P and F families, David, Ruth, Julia, Jeff and Sophia, Alice, David and Daisy, Dan and Chuck

"Thanks again for having us again. Similar to last March, our visit to Anguilla and our stay at your home was wonderful. Our kids love the pool/beach option and we are so thrilled with the comfort of the villa. The wi-fi is also greatly appreciated! Thanks again."

"We had a wonderful time on our 12th visit to Anguilla. The villa is beautiful and the restaurants have the best food. Looking forward to coming back again next year!"
-Randy and Marianne

"We had an amazing time at your very well equipped house. The ocean so close and the pool made it hard to leave, but we did take many walks at Rendezvous Bay. Dinner at Mangos was great and a casual lunch spot we liked was Smokey’s. The new French bakery is also great. We hope to be back soon."
-Jerry

"Merci Beaucoup pour cette villa incroyable et paradisiaque. Nous y avons passé de tres beaux moments!"
-Elisa et Jonathan and family

-Michael, Suzanne, Jenny, Grandpa, Johnny and Zen

"My family and friends had an amazing experience at Beach Escape villa. The villa was decorated beautifully; it was comfortable - perfect furniture; it was well stocked with everything you could possibly need on vacation. It was very clean and modern. The landscape was perfect -- gorgeous flowers, refreshing pool, and a very private beach. When I'd wake up in the morning, I could see the water from my bed. I only had to lift my head to a breathless view. Everyone who worked at the villa were extremely helpful and very pleasant. Honestly, one of the most amazing vacations we have ever had!"
-Diane

"What a wonderful place. We loved everything about it and everyone was so hospitable and friendly. Your home is beautiful and accommodated our every need. I wish we could have stayed a month! Thank you again for a fabulous vacation."
-Bill and Rebecca

"I am so totally impressed! Beach Escape is a lovely, relaxing (what other adjectives can I think of?) getaway! Just got back from Vancouver for a family reunion and I know what my first choice for the next one will be. You have thought of everything! Congratulations!"
-Margaret

"An amazing, beautiful, comfortable villa! Beach Escape was a magical place for a perfect 50th birthday celebration with family and friends. We have stayed at several resorts on Anguilla, this was far the best. Thanks for a beautiful memory!"
-Luis and Dierdre, Teddy and Madeline, Justine, Dorene, Dottie, and Bob

"Wow, what a wonderful vacation we had in Anguilla!! Beach Escape was more than we could have asked for. The villa is fully equipped with everything we could have imagined. Thanks for letting us enjoy your beautiful piece of paradise."
-Diane and Dave

"Leaving such a beautiful place is the hardest. Our stay was a piece of heaven. Everything we need was at our fingertips, and there were no amenities left out. Certainly a place we would want to return and stay at again."
-Debbie and Bill

"Thank you very much for the wonderful vacation. This is not just a beach escape but a paradise. We hope to come back in the future. Sandy Beach is so private it was our favorite."
-Flor, Carlos and Michele

"As we approached the island we could see the villa that we would be spending the week in – Beach Escape. Once through customs Catherine from Beach Escape was waiting for us and had our taxi all lined up for us. The drive to the villa was quick and we cannot say enough wonderful things about Beach Escape. It was wonderful to have a beach in front of our villa that we could start and end our days at. What an excellently equipped villa – it had everything you could imagine. Dorothea, our housekeeper, kept it spotless!!"
-Diane

"I just wanted to tell you again how much we enjoyed our stay at Beach Escape. We absolutely loved the property and it was everything (and more) you said it would be. You all were so very helpful in every way. You took care of us with recommendations and our every request. Dorothea was wonderful. She kept the house perfect and would do anything we asked. I sure hated to come home. Usually after a vacation you are a little ready to go home, but not this time. I could have stayed forever. I could easily move there. If you ever hear that the owner wants to sell Beach Escape – call us first! Thanks again for the time of our lives. You live on one beautiful island amongst beautiful people."
-Cherry

"We had a wonderful time exploring the island beaches and meeting folks. Your villa is absolutely beautiful and you have thought of everything to make guests feel welcome. Thank you for helping to make this vacation amazing and memorable! Hope to return soon."

-Maya and Dre

"I love the waves at night! They rock me to sleep. Thanks!"
-Ainsley, 7 years, and Adam, 5 years

"Thank you for an amazing vacation! Your home is just beautiful. After a decade of visiting other islands, we finally found our special place. Catherine and Dorothea made our stay fantastic and worry-free. We can’t wait for our next trip."
-The H family

"We were definitely lucky to have found your villa for our yearly vacation with friends and family! We have vacationed on several islands over the years (Belize, St. Bart, St. Martin, Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda) and the villas were beautiful, but none compare to yours. Absolutely Perfect! Being from Louisiana, your kitchen was a “Cajun” cooking paradise! The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Especially the view of the glorious ocean. All your special amenities from the beach towels, umbrellas, beach chairs, etc., etc., etc. We wanted for nothing. Everything was already here. Catherine’s warm personality immediately made all of us feel welcomed and her having the villa stocked with our grocery list made our long trip here so worthwhile from the first step into the villa. We changed into our swimsuits and for the next 8 days, that’s all we wore. Our last night was a glorious dinner at Barrel Stay. The food not only was delicious, but the presentation was fabulous. Jill and her staff welcomed us like we were family. It just couldn’t have been any better! We chartered a 48-foot boat (Summer Time) to view and tour your beautiful island from the ocean. Our captain, Eddie, and his first mate, Bryan, made our trip so special. From snorkeling, swimming, and drinking Eddie’s rum punch, there was nothing he hadn’t thought of to make our excursion the BEST! After a wonderful breakfast each morning we were greeted by the lovely smile of Dorothea. In her quiet way, she kept your villa immaculate. The short stroll to the beach was a favorite gathering spot for our group. Very relaxing and stressless! We will never forget this vacation!! Thanks for allowing us to stay in your villa... we will be back!"
-Vicky and Gary, Jeannie and Wayne, Bill and Jerry, Sandy and Dudley

"Thank you for a wonderful stay at your Beach Escape Villa. My husband, his best friends, wives and children all met here for a wedding. This beautiful place made the trip for us. Every comfort of home and more is in this villa! We have made memories to last a lifetime in this gorgeous island of Anguilla. Thank you!"
-Boone and Rich, Pete and Stacy, Kim and Steve, Michelle and Steve

"Thank you so much for a wonderful week—our family had a truly fabulous vacation. Everything from Catherine’s arrangements, Dorothea’s hospitality, comfortable home, to beautiful scenery was perfect. Our two children, 5½ years old and 2½ years old, don’t want to return home! We are hoping to rebook your wonderful home next year over Easter."
Thanks again,
-Lleana and Dave

"Can one imagine a better spot for a honeymoon? Everything was perfect. The house, the beach, the food, the people, the sun . . . . What wonderful memories we shall have. We hope to return again, perhaps next time with our four children. Your house is outstanding. Thank you for sharing it with us."
Peace,
-Pamela and David

"We had a WONDERFUL time at Beach Escape, which was exactly as advertised: spacious, great kitchen, beautiful grounds, lovely pool, almost private beach. All the staff was unobtrusive and responsive – we couldn’t have had a better time!"
-Randy and Marianne

"A magical place for a perfect family holiday—3 generations enjoying the feeling of peace, beauty and harmony. Wonderful fun on the beach and pool. A beautifully equipped house and helpful staff. I could go on and on."
-Heather

"We all had a wonderful 10 days here—It was far more beautiful than expected—I feel your photos on the web do not do it justice. Our time went far too quickly and we hardly left the house as we had everything and more we needed. All the staff were marvelous and made our stay so comfortable. Many thanks and we wish you well."
-Larry

"This was my 9th trip to Anguilla. After staying at several resorts, this was absolutely the best. Beach Escape was perfect in every way, especially the views and seclusion. Looking forward to our next visit."
-Jon and Debra

"Anguilla has always been special in our hearts and our home has simply magnified the beauty of this wonderful island! We typically stay at area resorts (Cap Juluca) but ventured out for different accommodations. The elegance of this property is overwhelming—the limestone floors, mammoth windows, industrial kitchen, cool bedrooms, pool, private beach! Whew! We anticipate returning soon! Thanks for sharing your home with us and the delightful extended hospitality of Catherine Orchard."
All the best,
Alex and Deirdre

-Debbie and Mike

"What a glorious week in a glorious spot. Anguilla is beautiful and your house is so lovely and well thought out. So many times, hot people just jumped in the pool. Each beach is more beautiful than the last. We will remember always the delight of being here swimming, eating, talking, reading, relaxing and laughing."

"Here are the top 5 reasons why we will return to Anguilla: (5) The need for rest and relaxation; (4) The hospitality of the Anguillian people; (3) The wide array of wonderful restaurants; (2) The beautiful beaches; (1) Your wonderful home. Anguilla was truly a home away from home for us. In the coming months we will surely look back on this vacation with the utmost regard for all the wonderful things we had the pleasure of experiencing here. Thank you again for your hospitality."
-Jennifer and Ron

"We wish we could stay here forever. This is definitely the best beach villa we have ever encountered. The view perfect. The trade winds relaxing, The water and beach delightful. An escape is exactly what the island is!! We’re in love with the design of your villa, the location and the provisioning/amenities. Dorothea made us feel right at home and Catherine was only a phone call away. We hope to return many times in future years. Thank you for sharing Beach Escape with our family."
-Carolyn, Geoff, Jenn, Rosanna and Matt

"What a lovely retreat! We enjoyed every aspect of our time on Anguilla and our stay at Beach Escape.
"The villa is beautifully decorated, well-maintained and perfectly situated for a quiet, secluded getaway. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything that’s needed. The bedrooms and baths are pretty and comfortable. The pool is lovely and refreshing. The view of the ocean is spectacular. We took full advantage of the private beach. Our housekeeper was efficient and eager to help. Her services, along with the expert attention provided by Catherine Orchard, made for a very pleasant, hassle-free stay at Beach Escape."
