Please take advantage of your location. Our apartment is at a great location to start your walking tour to the heart of the town of St. George's (capital of Grenada) and surrounding areas such as the carenage. You will experience the picturesque setting of the town and see historic buildings and structures. Although it will take about 10 to 15 minutes to walk to the heart of St. Georges, allow enough time for a casual stroll via the scenic route and time to browse around. We suggest 2 to 3 hours in order to take in several sites.
A walk to our famous Grand Anse beach from Archibald avenue is much longer than the walk to the heart of St. George's. We suggest that you drive yourself or take a taxi or experience the bus ride. Transportation will take about 12 minutes to the Grand Anse area. If however, you are up to the challenge of walking, allow about an hour and a half to 2 hours for your walk. The walk to Grand Anse is easy to navigate along the main road. Just watch out for the busy traffic. Be safe!

About Terry

Before I came to Canada, I lived at 602 Archibald Avenue with my parents and siblings. Whenever I go to Grenada on vacation, I would stay at our family home. I really love and enjoy my vacations in Grenada.

Very favorable
The apartment suited our needs very well. We enjoyed being in a residential neighbourhood. The kitchen functioned well with basic equipment and the people associated with the rental were warm and kind.
Loved our week at Terry's apartment!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The apartment is perfect for self-catering and close to all activities.
A lovely start to our adventure was Terry’s prearranged pick-up by Reuben at the airport, and finding fresh flowers and water in the apartment. Whenever we needed a ride, Reuben was always there for us and very knowledgeable about the island.
Lisa was delightful and so helpful with the apartment. She even went out of her way to guide me to a pharmacy in town when I needed some medicine. Terry’s Aunt Rita is charming and fun to talk with.
The location is lovely and peaceful, with Raphael’s beautifully kept gardens right outside the door. He was so sweet to share some of his goodies with us.
The bed was comfy, the shower soothing - all in all, a nice home away from home.
Terry is very prompt with communications, answering questions and sharing advice for the area.
We highly recommend a stay here! Many thanks to everyone for the wonderful hospitality and we look forward to returning soon.
A GRENADIAN GEM - 4.5 stars
This newly renovated apartment has a well equipped kitchen and the added benefit of outside space to relax in. WIFI access is available. Special thanks to Terry who was a great friend and resource to us. An abundant garden beside the house is seriously maintained by Raphael, a gem of a gardener, who often leaves fruit surprises in the morning. Without a car, St George’s and the supermarket are a 20 min walk downhill. Taxis are available to take you home but you need to arrange a pick you up at the house in the evening or the heat of the day. The only downside of this location is the distance from the beach and the occasional night noises of dogs, drummers and roosters!
What an adventure we two CDN ladies in our 60’s had touring the Spice Island of Grenada. And we did it without a car for the most part. Use the buses, wherever possible. They are fun, good value and a great way to meet the locals. (But don’t take one from the main terminal, unless you are prepared to pay for all of the seats...or you will wait until they are full!)
There is a lot to do on Grenada. (See Goats on the Road, Grenada website) Visit the island beaches of Grand Anse and beautiful La Sagesse- swim, beach walk, sunbathe and visit with locals. Day trip to Dougaldston Spice Estate to see nutmeg processing and Belmont Estate, a 17th century plantation. Tour St Georges shops, local market and Steel Pan school. And dance to great live music at Prickly Bay, Dodgy Docks at True Blue Bay and Umbrellas Beach Bar at Grand Anse. Eat seafood at The Edge or BB’s Crabback and local food at Patricks.
But the best thing about Grenada is getting to know the people. They are kind, respectful, fun, helpful and proud to be from Grenada! Everyone says Good Morning or Good Afternoon!! Our first visit to Grenada, but hopefully not our last.
BEAUTIFUL PLACE!!!
IT'S A QUIET AREA NEAR THE CENTER. THE APARTMENT IS VERY SPACIOUS AND CLEAN WITH A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN.
IT'S PERFECT TO DISCOVER ST. GEORGE, GRENADA AND GRAND ANSE BEACH.
I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY SPECIAL THANKS TO TERRY FOR THE HELP AND FRIENDSHIP THAT HE HAS GIVEN US.
DO NOT MISS IT IN A VISIT TO THE CARIBBEAN.
Map
It is a great location to start your walking tour to the centre of the town of St. George’s and to see Grenada’s capital (St. George’s) and surrounding areas on foot. Use the scenic route. A casual walk down Lowthers lane will take you pass the the Tropicana restaurant at the right just after the second roundabout. The Yacht club is a little further along to your left. Continue along the main road to the Carenage (the Warf) where you can see the boats.. Take in the scenery of the sea and the surroundings. Stop in at the Nutmeg and have some food and drink as you look out at the sea and picturesque setting. Continue your walk around the Carenage and walk through the Sendall Tunnel (named after Governor Wallter J Sendall in 1889). It takes you to the heart of the city (St. George’s) and the Market Square. A very popular market located in the heart of Grenada’s commercial centre. The Market Square was a place once used for public executions, trading slaves and political speeches. Today it is used by farmers and vendors to sell their produce. Browse around for a bit before climbing Market Hill which takes you to lower Lucas street. At the top of Market Hill, to your left stands the Roman Catholic Cathedral which dates back to 1884. Opposite the Roman Catholic Cathedral stands the Parliament Building and Supreme Court which were very badly damaged by hurricane Ivan in September 2004. To your right on Church Street a few meters down you can see the Anglican Church dating back to 1825. Continue your walk straight ahead; stay to the left (top side) and up the hill of Lower Lucas Street (see several Law offices). In about 7 minutes you will come to Woolwich road on the right. Continue your walk along Woolwich road for about 5 minutes to a small round about. Stay to the left of the roundabout and then straight ahead is Archibald Avenue. You are only about 6 minutes away from 602 Archibald avenue.
