Carpe Diem Villa was completed in late 2007. Half timbered construction over a block ground floor. It is our house and was designed for US to live in and constructed of local materials using all local labour.
The whole point of the house was to take advantage of the view of Castara Bay. It is set back and 80 feet above the Northside Road in the village of Castara, which is a small unspoilt fishing village on the Caribbean coast of Tobago.

The 2 Sandy beaches are safe and kept clean by the villagers.
Lifeguards are on duty during the day on the main beach.
Come & Swim or snorkel with the Stingrays or Pull the Seine!
Walk to the local Waterfall to cool off in the heat of the day

We invest in the community & can help you organise personalised tours into the Rain forest-one of the oldest in the world, visit waterfalls, take you fishing & then to a BBQ the catch on a secluded beach. Or tours to Nylon Pool & Buccoo reef, Sunday school, visit Little Tobago & Goat Island, Bio Luminous tours, Being with Horses, Chocolate making & so much more
The local bars are friendly with locals, expats and visitors all 'liming' together.
