Tamarind Cottage was perfect for private, laid-back family time. The space is well-appointed for casual comfort and relaxation—inside and out—with gracious open-air space to stretch-out and entertain our friends. The cottage is nestled in tamarind trees a few flights of stairs up from a stretch of sandy beach, warm swimmable waters, and gorgeous sunsets. Ocean sounds (perhaps a passing rain shower) lull you to sleep, and morning bird chatter wake you. We completely lost track of time! Neighbors in the apartments above and below were upbeat and friendly; property caretakers are lovely people. Homecooked meals and restaurant take-out on the veranda were our usual fare this visit. A rum bar, fish market, and fruit & veggie stand are a 10-minute walk north. A small grocery market and bakery are about a mile south, and the supermarket in Holetown has anything else you need. Excellent casual and upscale restaurants options are a quick bus/taxi ride away. We adhered to Covid-19 protocol and felt safe in all of these environments. Make sure you plan ahead for year-end business closures. A restorative holiday was enjoyed by all!
