It was exactly what it said. Trees grew a little bigger since the pictures. We enjoyed buying food ,snacks and coffee from the 2 small businesses by the house. It is centrally located. You had to drive to most other places, but even at a hotel you would too. Owner was great at keeping in touch and helping us with information we needed for the island. A great price too!

If you want to insulate yourself from authentic afro-carribean culture don't stay here. If you want to dive in and meet extraordinary locals, try their food and drink, and explore their beach, this is your place. It's also central to the west coast, making travel to Cabrits in the north or Soufrier in the south both very reasonable day trips. The house itself is very comfortable and clean. The kitchen is fully functional, making meal prep easy. We loved the second floor balcony with the classic view of the Caribbean sea and palm trees. It's a great place to sit and have dinner in the open air, swing in the hammocks, and look at rainbows. The village is active and full of sounds until 9ish then picks back up around 7ish. It's real. Not a tourist set. Lastly, Patti was a super host. She was very helpful every step of the way, hooking us up with great experiences too. I felt like I had a family member in dominica!

Great visit to Dominica

Very wonderful small fishing village in rural Dominica. Just as one would expect there are roosters and cars honking, motorcycles zipping by and people on the street talking laughing and cranking music into the night. If you want quiet and seclusion try another location. If you want authentic island life, wonderful experiences meeting locals and experiencing life on the island this is perfect. The house is not right on the beach, but only a couple minutes away. The beach is classic Dominica, meaning dark sand and some trash... we drove to snorkel and hike everyday, which is an experience in itself, but the island is small and getting around with a rental car is easy. The pullout bed was fine for my two young boys, but a more demanding adult might be disappointed. The kitchen was basic but fine, with a second wet bar and smaller fridge upstairs with a hotplate. We spent as much time upstairs as possible, cooking and hanging out, when not out on adventures. Overall, a wonderful experience, on a very little developed island. Hope to return another year!

We loved the location of this property. It is located in the middle of the town. The property manager took us to some of the adjacent businesses and introduced us to what is available. We LOVED the rooftop deck and spent a lot of time there. The property has a beautiful view. The owner was also very accommodating and helpful with information that we asked for. Thank you for a great experience!

It was soooo nice to live in a real life village... Probably as close as one can get as a tourist. A great experience.
