Casa DelaMar is close enough to all the attractions such as eco-tours, golfing, and diving, yet far removed from the hustle and bustle of modern day living! Imagine yourself gently being lulled to sleep by gentle trade wind breezes and the therapeutic sounds of the ocean waves below.

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1999
Why the Owner Chose Bacolet
Casa DelaMar (named after Gerald's Mom, Renee) is a local expression for "House by the Sea". From our guest feedback, the number one feature of our villa is the view of the full moon from our deck where is illuminates the ocean waves and silhouette of the coconut trees swaying in the tropical breezes!
Our villa offers guests the both of best worlds: For those wishing to escape the fast-paced commercialized world, we are just fifty yards from the ocean centered in an environmental protected coconut grove on Minister's Bay, yet we are only 1.5 km from the nearest convenience store, restaurant, and high speed internet!
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
Our favorite experiences include turtle watching between the months of March - September where we witnessed egg laying of Great Leather back Turtle. We encourage guests to take their flashlights, but caution not to shine any light into the turtles eyes. Pictures should be taken after all eggs have been nested to ensure her protection and return. More details can be furnished by the owners via email request.
This area was made famous with classic productions of famous Hollywood movies from the sixties: films include Swiss Family Robinson and Heaven Knows Mr.Alison!

Owner's Map of Bacolet
The Caracciolo Family Welcomes You!
We are Trinidadian family going back 300 years in heritage! Gerald, born in Port of Spain, Trinidad, always dreamed of constructing a villa to share his legacy with his wife, Susan (Canadian), and their five children and grandson. The dream was realized in 1999 when we first walked along the shore of Minister's Bay and fell in love with the natural beauty as seen by Columbus himself. It's as if time stood still!
