Sails beach house exceeded all of my expectations and more. The moment I walked in, I was amazed by how stunning the place was - the photos online really didn't do it justice! The house is spacious with three rooms and three bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, cozy hammocks, and a BBQ area outside. There was even a bottle of champagne waiting for us in the fridge! Nellie, the owner, provided us with detailed information and tips before our arrival, making us feel right at home. She even went out of her way to ensure we had transportation when we needed it. George, the caretaker, was incredibly helpful and took care of everything we needed, from transport to cooking. The location of Sails, while not in the main Santo island, is perfect as it faces the ocean and allows for water taxis to drop you off right at the house. Aore is a hidden gem with a beach, swimming lagoon, and the opportunity to see dugongs and turtles. Sails also provides snorkeling gear and is close to world war II wrecks for underwater exploration. Overall, our experience at Sails Beach House was magical and unforgettable. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Vanuatu. Whether you're a couple, family, or group of friends, Sails Beach House has something for everyone. Thank you, Nellie, for an amazing experience!

Upon arriving at Sails Beach House, I was immediately impressed by the beauty of the place. Nellie, the owner, has clearly put a lot of thought into every detail, making the whole place look stunning. The outdoor hammocks and al fresco dining area were perfect for the tropical setting. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a bottle of champagne waiting for us in the fridge. It was a fantastic way to start my Vanuatu adventure. The house also had a private lagoon area and a beach right in the backyard. Since we were on Aore Island, we had to take a water taxi to get to town, which required some planning ahead. The cost was 1,000VT each way, and sometimes the taxis operated on 'island time,' so it's something to keep in mind. However, I soon realized that the boat rides were one of the highlights of my trip, and I now miss the daily commute by boat. During high tides, the boat could even dock right at the backyard, providing a unique experience. Nellie was incredibly helpful and had everything prepared before my arrival in Vanuatu. She provided a comprehensive guide to Santo, allowing us to plan our activities from the comfort of our home. George, the caretaker, was also fantastic, taking care of all the little details and checking in on us regularly. I highly recommend Sails Beach House as one of the best places to stay in Santo, regardless of the type of group you're traveling with. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Vanuatu.
