The property was gorgeous! It is well equipped, great beds, pillows, and linens. The ocean side cabana is beautiful.

Great owners who obliged our every whim. Always there to answer any questions and made us feel like family. Super clean place and the local village people are so welcoming. Loved our stay there. Reef is one of the largest of formations I have ever seen.

We were a very last minute booking and Mark, Sabrina and Dean bent over backwards to make our stay easy, fun and comfortable. They are around when you need them but not at all overbearing. The house is super clean and comfortable with everything you need and more. We rented golf carts (arranged by dean and delivered within minutes) and it was so fun to cruise around. All of the tours they arranged were fabulous. Hopkins and Sitter River are so great. We’ll be back!

We had a fantastic stay at the Villa which had every accommodation we could think of. Thanks to Mark, Sabrina and Dean for all the hospitality. We really felt like we were part of the local community and and all of us had a wonderful time. We will definitely book another trip to the Villa soon! Dave & Dee

Mark, Sabrina, and Mirko did an outstanding job making this the perfect vacation for our family. The house is nothing short of amazing; the private beach and dock were our go- to spots from sunrise to sunset. Mark was the perfect host and his tour of the village allowed us to really connect to the people of Hopkins. We are already planning our next visit and wouldn't think of staying anywhere but...Villa Rising Sun.

Our days at Villa Rising Sun were truly restful, magical and fun. Mark, Sabrina and Dean made themselves available to answer questions, make suggestions and provide information about the community, sharing their passion and love for their adopted home. The accommodations are spacious and clean with plenty of room for large groups (our party of six consisted of one couple, two mothers/mothers-in-laws, and two friends), with ample space for a variety of interests and activities. The Caribbean Sea is in the backyard, offering around-the-clock access to swimming, floating, or just listening to the waves wash ashore. We all hope to return very soon and will recommend VRS to our families and friends.

Accommodations & location were great, but the people were even better. Mark, Sabrina, & Dean bent over backwards to make sure we got in all that we wanted to do, even on short notice on a rain day. House was very clean, comfortable, and conveniently located to many nice restaurants and bars. Lots of activities to keep you busy but also the perfect private setting to relax and enjoy the sound of the waves. We are alread discussing a return trip with the kids!

We had a great stay with seven people in late December 2017. Mirko (the agent), Mark and Sabrina (the owners) were all great hosts and very accommodating. The place is as it looks in the pictures, beautiful! The house is in great condition and the grounds are well maintained. There are nice extras like plenty of beach towels, some floats and games. You can swim off the beach or dock, and walk down the beach to other resorts and restaurants.
