The most amazing Beach front house in Tobago.
We have stayed here 3 times. The only house bigger than this is Harrison fords house but his is inland and not on the beach. The house is done to perfection and is right on the beach. We have seen leather back turtles at night laying their eggs and have even helped the hatching turtles get into the sea.
The largest fish I have ever caught was here just 50 yards off the beach. A whopping 140lb Tarpon and apparently that was a small one. It has an enormous rock pool that is like a pool but better which the kids loved being in.
We went to the best ever music festival here on our first stay called the Tobago Jazz festival which is funny because there was no jazz music. Stars like, Rod Stewart, Whitney Houston (RIP), Shakira and more. All this on a little island of just 50,000 residents.
The scuba diving is fantastic.
One of the Unesco world heritage sites here in Tobago we visited is Pigeon point. It was like being Robinson Crusoe a totally unspoilt paradise.
There is even a rain forest here which had the most beautiful butterflies and birds. There were little humming birds in the garden that were fascinating to watch.
The location of the house on the island is near the airport which is little more just like a landing strip. You have Mount Irvine and the Hilton golf courses close by. Some excellent restaurants one of which is a Watermill. One night it rained and lots of giant frogs suddenly appeared and hopped through the restaurant.
We even helped the locals who are the loveliest island people pull in a giant net in the bay and then watched as they evenly distributed the catch between all of them. Ahhh if only life for us Londoners were this simple.
The staff at the Villa are great and keep the place pristine. Anytime I went fishing, diving, or exploring the island, the staff always had a relative that could help. Everyone seems related on this island and we felt very safe here and welcomed by all.
Finally nothing like falling asleep to the sound of the lapping waves. PARADISE!!
