Grocery Stores
French Harbor, about 15 minutes from the villa, has two very large U.S. style grocery stores. ELDON'S has a great selection. The Bulk Gourmet (www.thebulkgourmet.com), also in French Harbor has a wonderful collection of specialty food items. If you would like fresh fish, let us know ahead of time and our caretaker can arrange to have the local fishermen (like Samuel, bringing lobsters to Miss Maud at La Diosa!) bring by their catch of the day.
