We chose this property to avoid the noise/crowding of the Cruz Bay area and indeed it delivered the quiet and seclusion that we sought. We found the drive to the North Shore area to be no problem and we were super close to the Salt Pond Bay which was fantastic. The choice of places to eat nearby is limited but we really liked Skinny Legs and another nearby restaurant enough that we didn't venture beyond Coral Bay for evening meals. We enjoyed the unusual decor, the beautiful gardens, and the rooftop star gazing at our property. We didn't realize that there might be limits on the use of the air conditioner (if the island looses power, as it did briefly once during our stay, the backup batteries for the solar panel system don't last too long). While the ocean breeze generally kept the place comfortable, there was a day or two when the breeze was inadequate. Overall, our stay was very enjoyable.

We try to return to Ric & Lolita's every year. The house is beautiful and comfortable with interesting artwork and unbelievable views. We had everything we needed or wanted for preparing meals. Ric & Lolita are very knowledgeable and were very helpful answering our questions about the island. We love staying at Orchid Garden and already booked again for next year. Laura & Igor

This is such a unique, artistic and charming home! The character of the furnishings and craftsmanship make it special. The beds are comfortable. We enjoyed sunrises, happy hours and star gazing from the rooftop patio, morning coffee in the breakfast nook and reading books on the covered porch. It is in a quiet location close to some great hiking and great snorkeling in some pretty remote bays. We loved our stay and will cherish the memories.

This unique space is well designed for two couples -- each with en suite bath. You have the entire upper floor, plus various decks and patios, including a large rooftop deck -- all with panoramic views of water and islands. The living space is artistically designed and decorated with eclectic art from around the world. An amazing space in an amazing location!

the views were fantastic, the owners were very helpful and offered advice on what to see and where to go. Rick and Lolitta came up with some wine and food before we left and Rick regaled us with stories of their adventures which made the vacation more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place!!
