Who are our guests?

Over the years we've welcomed guests who are solo travellers, couples searching for a truly romantic tropical getaway and families seeking a family-friendly tropical vacation. Our small beach cottages make the best tropical getaways for anniversaries, honeymoons, or spontaneous tropical couple getaways. Kids love snorkelling in the calm bay while parents relax on the beach or enjoy a hassle-free stroll through the village.  As one of the top beachfront vacation rentals on the island there's a place  and space for everyone. 

Artists, writers, retreat seekers, students and researchers are all welcome. 
 
Many of our guests come from very far, but not all of them. Some of our perennial guests come from our sister island, Trinidad, either for a few weeks or just to recharge for the weekend.
 
If you're curious, make your next Tobago holiday unforgettable. Book a Friday to Monday weekend getaway, we're sure you'll be back for the tropical seaside style—to month-long stays. Our property is ideal for anyone seeking a genuine holiday in Tobago or a restorative retreat. 

​ No matter your original destination, when you get here there's so much to do or you can simply do nothing. Waking to the sounds of parrots in the Caribbean rainforest or gentle ocean waves, taking a short hike through a pristine forest retreat and finally cooling off in the turquoise water of the Man-O-War Bay is truly transformative—there’s no richer or more immersive nature experience in Tobago.

Ready to explore that ultimate seaside escape in Tobago?   Book now and discover why our guests keep coming back here year after year.
 

What Our Guests Say

Maarit 5-star Airbnb Review.png
"The cottage was perfect. Surrounded by magnificent, old trees with lots of birds, it is situated right on the beach within a short walking distance from the centre of the village.  As a solo traveller I felt peaceful, safe, and happy in the cottage and would be delighted to stay again"
