have white walls, light woods and bed coverings, and high
beamed ceilings. Each is uniquely furnished and has
air-conditioning, wet bar, microwave, small refrigerator and
cable TV. All have covered balconies. Estate Lindholm has a
pool and a small, well-equipped fitness center. The grounds
are lovely, with flowering plants and trees. The restaurant

A second option is the lovely Garden by the Sea Bed &
Breakfast, north of Cruz Bay and between Frank and
Turner Bays. It is on the shore of the Audubon Sanctuary
Pond. The large house was built in the 1970s in typical Ca-
ribbean gingerbread style. The grounds are filled with exotic
plants, palm trees and swinging hammocks. There are only
three guest rooms and, though they are individual in size
and style, none are air-conditioned, nor do they have tele-
phones or TVs. The second-floor Terrace View Room has
hardwood floors, an elephant bamboo canopy bed and a Jap-
anese fountain. Gauzy white curtains cover the French
doors that lead to the private deck. This room has a full bath.
The Garden Suite has a bedroom and a living area, with
deep blue walls and an elephant bamboo trundle couch. Its
large picture windows and deck face the gardens. It has a
Caribbean shower. The Wild Ginger Room is cool and airy
with a view of Frank Bay. It is particularly nice at sunset. It
does not have a deck, but there is a sitting area with large
windows. It too has a Caribbean shower. Breakfast is served
