The cottage sits on over 3 acres of land that was a bamboo thicket until the 1990’s when local naturalist, Renson Jack, began working with the owners to eradicate the bamboo and replace it with native plants, fruits, and flowers to attract wildlife. The result is a reclaimed natural woodland environment attracting a large variety of wildlife. Walk the restored grounds on the terraced hillside, explore the larger Englishman’s Bay Estate, or visit trails in the nearby rainforest preserve. Ideal for birders or naturalists interested in exploring the Tobago en-vironment. This house was designed for indoor-outdoor living and can be fully opened to allow the tropical breeze to pass through. This also means the house may not be for everyone because wildlife (invertebrate and vertebrate) may find their way into the house. The cottage is at the end of a private road, so is very private. Enjoy spectacular sunsets on the terrace, lounge in the private pool, or enjoy the grounds without seeing another person. Alternatively, you can travel a short distance to the nearby small village of Castara for groceries or eat in restaurants with local cuisine. And, of course, there are the nearby beaches. New in 2024: high speed internet via wifi Please, no children. It is a safety issue with unfenced pool and some steep, unprotected drops. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the bay - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;

It is just sheer bliss! I can watch the sunrise and the moon set from the pool for an eternity! Host and staff are super friendly and helpful! ##### Deirdre W.

Nov 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Indoor/Outdoor Living For anybody that wants peace nature stunning views simple but comfortable . This is for them . It’s well off the beaten track 5 mins from stunning Englishman’s Bay and with most needs catered for in Castara 10 mins away . Wonderful indoor/outdoor existence . The pool is a great bonus . You need a car and a little bit of an adventurous spirit and you will be well rewarded ##### john h. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Tomi Apr 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication We had a wonderful relaxing stay, an escape to the nature, and would have loved to stay longer than 3 nights. We enjoyed the beautiful property and the pool especially as nobody else was staying in the building next to the cottage. While the surrounding nature and the cottage building are gorgeous the remote location and amenities make it a more rustic than an upscale experience. We recommend planning and buying groceries before arrival because there are only mini markets nearby and not so many restaurants either. It's also nice to be able to just stay at the cottage. In this regard the kitchen has all the pots and pans you need for cooking and eating but the items are basic and some slighly outdated. Only salt was available in terms of pantry staples. We are tall and for a perfect night sleep would have preferred bigger/more pillows and a bigger bed than the queen bed. There wasn't extra bedding readily available for the murphy bed downstairs. ##### Tomi Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton Trinidad & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Of-Spain-Hotels-Hilton-Trinidad-Conference-Centre.h564174.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/LaGuardia-Airport-Hotels.0-aLGA-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Calgary-Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Calgary-Airport.h5177.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Burlington Conference Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Burlington-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h14081.Hotel-Information) > > [Condo Rentals Portugal](https://www.expedia.ca/Portugal-Condos.d147-aaCondos.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Starfish Tobago Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Plymouth-Hotels-Starfish-Tobago-Resort.h794543.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cavendish Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cavendish-Hotels-The-Cavendish-Motel.h9838010.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels near Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Maldives-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d109-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Trincity Trinidad Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Piarco-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Trincity-Trinidad-Airport.h1639976.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Minot](https://www.expedia.ca/Minot-Hotels.d2392.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort- Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Hideaway-At-Royalton-Riviera-Cancun-Resort-Spa-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h8825616.Hotel-Information) > > [Magdalena Grand Beach & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lowlands-Hotels-Magdalena-Grand-Beach-Golf-Resort.h4882859.Hotel-Information) > > [Tropikist Beach Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Crown-Point-Hotels-Tropikist-Beach-Hotel-Resort.h1677405.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Port Of Spain](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Of-Spain-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Port-Of-Spain.h1149889.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with a Pool in Okotoks](https://www.expedia.ca/Okotoks-Hotels-Hotel-With-Pool.0-0-d603098-tHotelwithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Penguin Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-The-Penguin-Hotel.h62824.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Waterslides in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Hotels-With-Waterslides.0-0-d178296-tHotelswithWaterslides.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Deer Lake (YDF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/ydf/winnipeg-to-deer-lake) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Saskatoon (YXE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/yxe/victoria-to-saskatoon) > > [Flights from Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/31/flights-from-canada) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Cologne (CGN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/cgn/montreal-to-cologne) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/lax/vancouver-to-los-angeles) ### Activities > [Things to do in Laguna Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Laguna-Beach.d8384.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Wolfville](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Wolfville.d6058270.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Boston Common](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Common-Beacon-Hill.d507377.Vacation-Attraction)
