Villa Good News’ stately entrance with its white-columned veranda gives just a hint of what guests will be treated to when they open the door. A grande maison! A spacious foyer opens to an expansive, elegant salon furnished with French antiques and laying claim to a striking ocean panorama. On one side of the foyer, a door opens to a petit salon – a hideaway for reading, TV watching or private relaxation, and the other, to an enormous eat-in kitchen; its u-shaped granite-topped work area has every appliance and amenity cooks and foodies could desire. The grand salon incorporates a dining area, an alcove parfait for serving tea or Ti Punch and a contemporary styled couch set in place for TV viewing. Glass doors provide access to the pool terrace with its outdoor living spaces, dining portico, surround sound music system – and the sound of the surf. The pool is heated. A guest bath is conveniently located just off the salon.

Four bedrooms, all with baths en suite, include two equally sized, French king-bedded master units, and two others, one with a French King bed and the other with king/twins are on the main level. The baths are beautifully appointed with marble vanities, double sinks, make-up stations and showers with massage jets. Two more en suite bedrooms, suitable for children or staff, are on the lower level. One has a queen bed. a sofabed and 2 twin beds; the other one has a queen bed.  An air-conditioned fit-for-an athlete gym, as well as a cinema room, are also on the lower level.
