About Black Sand Cove
I rented a car to explore the island. I stopped at Oualie Beach to eat and check out the various water sports available.

With our friends, Murray and Debbie, we thoroughly enjoyed our 10 days in February, 2010.
Idyllic days by the pool, quiet nights 'n quiet stars, moon rise over Mt. Nevis. The mornings; delightfully fresh and peaceful, the afternoons' welcome daily heat always moderated by the Christmas Winds. We shopped, explored the beaches, plantations and restaurants..but Black Sand Cove was 'home'.Thanks Linda...it was magical.

My family and I stayed at Black Sand Cove from May 20-30. Not long enough! Our stay there, and our first visit to Nevis, exceeded all of our expectations.
When we arrived we were met at the ferry by Adolfo. A lot has been written on this page about Adolfo, but none of it can convey what a truly "nice guy" he is - professional, articulate, warm, friendly, funny, helpful, and he even showed us how to make tea using herbs from the garden.
As he drove us to Black Sand Cove my first impression was how private it was. As we approached the house, our very articulate comments were - "OOOO!, Look! The colors! The house! The view! OOOO! Look!". Those feelings lasted throughout our stay. The house is spacious, warm, inviting. The screened porch offers stunning views and an ocean breeze. Words and pictures can't convey the beauty of the surrounding property. Several times each day we would walk through the gardens and each time was like the first. Fruit trees, palms, aloes, flowers, humming birds, a sea of colors- and geckos - I love geckos! The grounds need to be seen!
We tried to decide what we liked most about Black Sand Cove but our list just keeps growing. The pool, the house, the porch, the gardens, the hammock (my favorite), the beach, the privacy, the outdoor shower facing the gardens and Mt. Nevis (my other favorite), we can't decide. As I said, our stay was not long enough. We'll be back again and again.
