The space
We have had 5-star reviews! We host international guests in comfort and safety, with walking access to nearby rivers, waterfalls and forests.

Caapi Cottage is nestled on a lush green plateau above a waterfall, which provides the renewable energy for the property. It has a private kitchenette and bathroom, and a bedroom with a sleeping loft. It can sleep 4 adults comfortably or a family (baby crib is available). The cottage has a stone floor, local hardwood ceiling and shutters with a view of the Caribbean Sea and an extensive botanical garden in the back. There are no neighbours for one kilometer, just trees, streams, a waterfall, duck pond and fish pond. An avocado tree and mature caapi vine shade the cottage from the elements, keeping it cool both day and night. No fan or air conditioning is ever needed.

Additional, beautifully crafted wood Cabin is available, with a Queen bed that sleeps 2 adults. Just send us a request for extra space along with your inquiry.
For larger groups, Safari glamping cabins are available for rent. Check out our Safari Treehouse Glamping Cabin on Airbnb.

Guest access
The cottage has its own large, private stone verandah, with a built-in BBQ. It is next to a 45-foot pool with a diving board, that has a view of the Caribbean sea. There are a variety of fruit trees on the 2 and a half acre property. They include banana, coconut, grapefruit, lime, orange, avocado, guava, carambola (star fruit), pomerac, cocoa, papaya, mango, breadnut, and breadfruit. Watercrest grows year round in the streams. For avid birders there are numerous birdwatching opportunities right on the property, including frequent sitings of the red-necked Parrots, several species of Hummingbirds, Thrashers and Tremblers to name a few.

Other things to note
Birdwatching Opportunities on the property of Caapi Cottage:

Often, in the late afternoon, a small flock of red-necked parrots make their way noisily up into the hills behind the property. Three of the Caribbean hummingbirds can be seen almost every day – the Antillean crested humming bird, and purple throated and green-throated Caribs with their long downward curving bills, both of which show brilliant colours in the sunlight. The Trembler, scaly breasted and white breasted Thrashers are always fun to spot. The Mangrove Cuckoo sometimes nests nearby; its distinctive call and striking banded long tail make this bird a lovely sighting. On nearby trails the Rufous-throated solitaire can be heard with it’s long melancholy notes, and can be difficult to spot.
