NEVER TRUST WHAT YOU SEE ADVERTISED
Let me start by saying the property is in a good location and my stay was only 2 nights.. That was the only good things I can say. Property was advertised with 2 double beds, when in actuality there were 2 single beds. No hot water in the jacuzzi. Towels looked like they needed some good bleach to bring them white again. Bath mat set that did not match, one green the other cream/brown and looked old and tattered. A stereo that did not work(so no music to listen to) And no access to the washer/dryer(as advertised). Overall I would not stay nor recommend this property to ANYONE.

Hello Patricia. I'm sorry that the weather was miserable and it rained for your entire 2 day stay at the villa. It still is no excuse for an untrue review! The jacuzzi is in the pool so is the same temperature as the pool, we don't advertise a heated pool or jacuzzi . The mats in the bathroom are colour matched, perhaps new spectacles needed? The laundry room was opened and the washer and dryer were exclusively yours for your entire stay. Everything on the premise is exclusively yours for your entire stay. It's not our fault that you turned up more than more 4 hours after your expected arrival time without letting the housekeeper know you were going to be late. She couldn't have waited forever. She did come out early the next morning to show you how to operate the jacuzzi, washer, dryer etc. She said you weren't interested in the demonstration but instead complained that the house was not part of a resort and there was no reception desk to check you in on arrival. I note that this is your 1st booking on VRBO and I also note the complaints you made to the housekeeper that the villa was not a hotel. Im sorry but you booked a stand alone villa in a great location close to the beach, it's self catered and there's an electronic lock to let yourself in if you arrive late in the night as you did. A 1 star review reflects a person who did not attempt to fairly review the property but instead unleashed her frustration at messed up travel arrangements, horrible weather and total lack of reading the property description and amenities.

Lovely villa definitely would recommend
Our stay at the villa was amazing the cleaner was extremely helpful and friendly, whenever any problems occurred it was very easy to get hold of her and had instant responds. Location was perfect, very beautiful and quite. Would definitely recommend for a family visit, only thing I would suggest is the villa maybe needs an update and a few touch ups but other than that everything was spot on.

We had a great vacation, we didn’t want to leave. The house was clean, the pool was great. The entire house is air conditioned and the rooms were a good size. This location is convenient to the shopping and dining area. Also close to the beaches. We will definitely be back.

Great Villa In A Good Location!
Really nice property, spacious and clean throughout. The 3 main bedrooms are a nice size, the fourth middle room on the top floor I would say is best suited to children, not 2 adults as it is very small. The private pool and the BBQ are the best features of the property. Allowing you a home away from home in an beautiful location. The feedback for improvement I would give is: - the en suite bathroom in twin bedroom could not be used as the lever to change the waterflow from tap to shower head is missing – this can be easily fixed by the homeowner. - Shops are not in walking distance so some courtesy bottled water would be a nice additional touch for check in. otherwise you really cannot fault this property. Use of a car would be helpful but is not essential as it is easy to locate a taxi – whatever they charge you just negotiate for approximately a third less to get a more reasonable local rate! Store bay is probably a 10-15 minute walk and Pigeon Point about 30-40 minutes depending on speed! But both are lovely walks. Area felt very safe to walk around in at night – we were a group of 6 adults and 2 children. I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone interested in travelling to Tobago!

Excellent Stay
We had a great experience at this property. The staff and owner was most helpful and always available for questions. This is a great place to stay with or without children! I had my teenagers as well as my small children and each age range enjoyed the place. We loved that the house is walking distance from everything: beach, shops, restaurants, etc. My family will definitely be visiting again!

Our memorable tobago trip
Upon checking in we did a walkthrough of the house and it was just absolutely beautiful. The pictures did not do this villa justice. Our family of six and a half stayed for 2 nights and did not want to leave. We asked for an early checkin and we were accommodated. The swimming pool and backyard was just breath taking. Thank you Maurice and Rudessa our stay was 1 to remember.

My vacation at Angelfish Villa in Tobago
I spent the last week of April 2019 here with seven relatives. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The place is less than five minutes away from the airport, Store Bay Pigeon Point as well lots of restaurants and clubs. The villa is charming, comfortable and has a secluded feeling in a quiet neighborhood. The pool is absolutely gorgeous and surrounded by beautiful flowers and palm trees. We awoke every morning to the lovely sound of birds chirping and singing. Rudessa (Rudy) the housekeeper is wonderful and displays that charm you can only find in Tobago. She did her work but stayed out of our way. However, if we needed her she was only a phone call away with the answer to all our questions. This is where I will stay whenever I come back to Tobago.

Our dragon boat team stayed at anglefish villa for the pan American championship. We were able to walk to all the pigeon point activities, shops, restaurants and local beaches. The house was perfect for 10 of us, the kitchen well equipped, the pool was clean and the Jets felt so good. Rudessa our housekeeper was friendly and helpful, she cooked the team a fabulous island meal. Everything went perfectly and we felt very at home. Very Quiet neighborhood.

Beautiful villa
My friends and I (7 in total) absolutely had a grand time staying here after Trinidad carnival. This was our first time coming to Tobago. We were comfortable, enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi. It was the perfect place to wind down and relax. The house is close to the supermarket, beaches, etc. We would definitely love to stay there again if we come back to Tobago.

Spacious, but in need of some love.
The general state of repair was not good. The hot water didnt work. The alarm system had a short and scared us to death when it would randomly alarm in the middle of the night. Not knowing of a malfunction, we thought people kept trying to break in. We alerted the owner, but nothing was ever done except to tell us it was shorting. We never even got an apology. The linens were in rough shape. The beds were the worst I've ever experienced. It was like sleeping on the ground, the mattresses were so poor and it made for poor sleep during our stay. The place had some essentials, but nothing to make it nice. Clearly, this is an income source and not a place anyone actually stays personally. No common things like paper towels, extra toilet paper, towels, baking dishes, tupperware or any way of wrapping leftovers. The hot tub was not heated. I never thought i would leave the tropics desperate for some hot water or a hot shower. There was a housekeeper, but there was a layer of dust over things and the light switches were so grimy with fingerprints and grease, i didn't really want my kids to touch them. The pool was well kept and we saw a guy cleaning the pool several times. The ground had dead potted plants scattered randomly about. It really was quite spacious and must have been nice at some point, so it's even more sad that it is just so ill cared about. Definitely not worth the money. We did love Tobago in general, but will be staying somewhere else next time.

Dear guest, Thank you for your review of my holiday rental. I'm sorry that the property did not meet your expectations. While I regret this, I note that the review is filled with inaccuracies and plain untruths. The hot water works fine and was demonstrated to you on check in by the housekeeper. We do not have a heated pool. it's 35°C outside. We do not have or advertise a hot tub. We do not have potted plants, all are inground. They are all alive. You never reported an alarm being triggered one night to myself the owner ! I'm sorry that it woke you but you did not shut the window properly and then armed the security security system. The housekeeper closed the window for you later the same morning ! The house comes fully stocked with towels and linens! I inspected the premises after reading your comments and found the switches spotless. This villa has been listed on VRBO for the last 2 years and has been reviewed more than 22 times, each one positive. The 2 sets of guests that stayed preceding your arrival both gave the house 5 stars. it's unlikely that the condition deteriorated in the days leading up to your visit.

Perfect Getaway
This was the perfect spot for a Tobago getaway. We booked at very short notice and we were very fortunate to get this rental. The owner and support staff were very professional and accommodating. The property is very well maintained and is consistent with the photos and it was immaculately prepared for our stay. The location is also great, it is in a quiet neighborhood, just a 5 - 10 minute drive from the restaurants, shops and beaches in the Pigeon Pt./Crown Pt./Store Bay area. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful 2 day stay
We stayed at the property for 2 nights. I must say that everything was wonderful. The owner was very occomodating to our needs as we arrived in Tobago earlier than check in time. We were able to check in early. The housekeeper was very helpful at check in, she gave us a tour of the place and explained everything we needed to know. She was also very helpful with questions we had after she was not there. She was on call and available for us every time we called. I would definitely love to stay here again. The house is close to the airport and close to everything we did in Tobago. The house was perfect for our group, being 9 people. There was enough room and space for all of us. The pool was awesome as well. We all loved it

Family getaway
We had a wonderful time at the villa. It is walking distance to stores restaurants and nightlife (10 minutes) and the beach as well (20 min) . it is a picturesque setting with beautiful tropical greenery that just makes you feel good as you wake up and look out on the balcony. Rudesa the housekeeper was very attentive and nice. The only suggestion I had was that they provide Coffee Filters for the Coffee machine as that proved to be a challenge to find on the island. But the layout of the house with a bedroom and bath on the 1st floor and 3 bedrooms and 2 baths on the 2nd floor was perfect layout. All and all a great time I would definitely recommend this Villa.

Fantastic visit
Angelfish Villa was a fantastic vacation home for the time we stayed there. It provided all the comforts as advertised and was close to restaurants, nightlife, beaches and groceries. Less than 10-15 mins walk for all of the above. The villa was kept very clean and it was spacious and comfortable. The pool and Jacuzzi were fantastic and we used them daily. The neighbourhood was quiet and calm. A fantastic bonus was being able to barbeque using the grill! Would definitely visit Tobago and stay here once again.

Coziest villa ever!
Angel Fish is designed to keep all villa activity private which was our favorite aspect of the weekend. Its located very close to the major road which is super convenient to get to the best foodspots,beaches and nightlife. The pool and jacuzzi are amazing and the grounds were intimate and well kept. Kitchen was spacy and accomodated all our needs for the weekend and something as simple as a cooler to use was a very nice touch. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Wonderful island, wonderful house
We rented Angelfish Villa for almost 2 weeks over Christmas & New Year. The house was perfect for us (6 adults & 1teenager). It has 3 master bedrooms and one smaller room with 2 beds, suitable for teenagers or children. All rooms has aircon. Kitchen and livingroom great for socializing, as well as the outdoor patio. The pool was marvellous. The house is also equipped with an alarm which can be used during nighttime - great! There’s parking space for one car inside the gates. We had two cars but parking in the road is no problem. The area is quiet and feels safe. The house is withing walking distance from ”central” Crown Point. The housekeeper Rudessa is just wonderful - she met us at the airport and had done some breakfast shopping for the first day. She came every 4th day to clean and change the linen (bedding, shower towels and pool towels). When the aircon broke down in one of the bedrooms, she arranged a guy to come and fix it immediately. It was easy to keep in contact with her through WhatsApp and she was always very friendly - a true gem! Maurice, the owner, was very accomodating, both when we booked as well as during the whole process, and very quick on replying. We are most pleased with our stay and would definitely stay here again!
