To Celebrate First Low Season, $1,000 Off Rates at Hand-Crafted Three Bedroom Villa

To celebrate it's first spring/summer/ fall season, Desert Rose Estate, Anguilla, which made its debut in November 2006, is offering up to 50% savings for rentals April 14-December 17, 2007. The rate for one bedroom, with exclusive use of the Estate and $2,000 during the winter, is $1,000 from April 14; two bedrooms, $2,300 in the winter can be rented for $1,300; and all three bedrooms, with a winter rate of $2,500, is $1,500 from April 14 until December 17, 2007. Perched overlooking the sea on Anguilla's northeastern shore, this spectacular 11,000 square foot oceanfront villa with 86 glass windows and doors is owned by Eudoxie and Sandra Wallace, who also own "Gorgeous Scilly Cay", Anguilla's legendary luncheon islet. More like a luxury home, the villa also has a family room, three-and-a-half bathrooms, spacious living room, gourmet kitchen and dining room. The atmosphere is cool and crisp and the décor is fresh and contemporary, with a relaxed luxury and elegance. Bedrooms feature king size beds dressed in luxurious linens and bathrooms have plush towels, bathrobes, hairdryers, make-up mirrors and fine toiletries. Virtually every room opens onto a 140-foot veranda on the sea side. There is an infinity edge pool and a tennis court on the Estate's four acres. Rates include the guests' own deserted island for a day at Scilly Cay and complimentary lunch there one of the three days a week it is open. Also included is daily housekeeping; continental breakfast with freshly-baked French pastries; and complimentary phone service to the US and Canada. Children must be ten years or older. 10% government tax and 10% service charge are extra. Arriving guests can arrange for stocking of provisions and services of a butler and/or chef. The concierge service assists with island tours, car rental, restaurant reservations and deep-sea fishing excursions, as well as suggestions for the best snorkeling, scuba and sailing spots. The creation of Desert Rose is a family work of art. The Wallace's and their two sons played key roles in designing and building Anguilla's newest guest accommodation. The lush landscaping that thrives around the villa provides a striking contrast to the striated polished Anguillian rock exterior and fossilized coral, natural rock walls and polished Italian marble surfaces indoors. For visitors to the island, Eudoxie Wallace is something of local legend, captivating guests with his stories. At Scilly Cay, he and Sandra are full-time hosts and unofficial island ambassadors. A visit to their beloved cay is a visitor's rite of passage, a measure of how well one really knows Anguilla and is an experience that has come to define the island. Desert Rose is a singular location for friends, family gatherings, small executive retreats, weddings and honeymoons. With it, the Wallace family has found an entirely new way to charm the island's visitors, introducing an estate that reflects the island's natural resources that affords an unparalleled setting in which to captivate and enchant Anguilla's most discerning guests.
