The Bay View Cottage was a truly wonderful getaway and a perfect retreat into peace and quiet. Communication was excellent, and with a car it was easy to access the beach and explore nearby towns. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to cook comfortably, and the bed was wonderfully cozy. The stunning views and gentle birdsong were exactly what we needed to reset our senses and fully relax.We hope to be back soon! Thank you!!

Rest and relaxation!

Had the best time with my partner staying here! We loved being in nature and getting to be away from anything too busy or crowded. The property was beautiful, cozy and had everything we needed! We fell in love with our view of Englishman’s Bay. Kimberly is a fantastic host, and responded to us promptly with all our questions. It was an amazing first time for us in Tobago!

Absolutly privacy

The Bay view cottage has an absolutely fantastic location and privacy in the midst of beautiful tropical vegetation. It has everything you need for an independent stay. You feel absolutely safe because we were visited daily by an exceptionally lovable watchdog called Sandy. The restaurant in Englishman's Bay offers good, reasonably priced food, but is closed in the evenings. For higher standards, we recommend 'The Almond Tree' in Castara, right on the beach. We really enjoyed our stay in this cottage. Points deducted: The barbecue pictured is no longer functional and the seat cushions on the terrace are badly worn and need replacing. The description 'Whirlpool' is somewhat misleading and seems to refer to the brand of electrical appliances.

Remote Island stay

Nice quiet secluded cottage in the rainforest with a stunning view. You're about an hour away from the main strip of beach (main port of Scarborough) for all the activities such as glass bottom boat and Nylon pool. This is a great day out! There's lots of places to eat along the way especially local cooked food such as BBQ, Roti or buss up shut. There's also loads of fried chicken places too. Chefs BBQ is quite good They do breakfast and lunches like a proper dinner if you want good variety of food choices then this is a good place to go.Our cottage stay was pretty central to everywhere and we travelled the whole Island in a few days. If you like more of the hustle and bustle, night life etc then this stay is not for you. It is extremely remote but I like that so if you want to go lime make sure you have a designated driver to get home safe as roads very windy and quite dangerous in places especially when locals driver's drive so hard round bends. The only downfall was the Internet connection which is non-existent so we had to buy daily data for the week we stayed. There's no TV which is usually okay with us as we don't really watch TV but the option to have one would have been nice to watch a movie given the fact the WiFi didn't work at all. Also, there was building works going on from the day we arrived, which was Monday up until good Friday morning which I guess can't be helped but again would have been nice to have been informed. Lots of drilling and banging, lucki

A Living Legacy at Englishman’s Bay

This property is deeply rooted in a legacy of thoughtful design and environmental stewardship. My father, an American citizen, made Englishman’s Bay his home for over 20 years. As an architect, landscape designer, and passionate environmentalist, he dedicated himself to preserving and enhancing the natural beauty and ecological health of the Englishman’s Bay Estate.

Since his passing, I have lovingly taken over the care of the property and remain committed to honoring and continuing his vision. Every pathway, garden, and view reflects a deep respect for nature, intentional design, and a desire to share this extraordinary place with others in a meaningful and sustainable way.

Why they chose this property


A Nature Lover’s Paradise

If you love nature as much as I do, you’ll be captivated by the natural beauty of the Englishman’s Bay Estate, with sweeping views of the mountains and Caribbean Sea. The cottages and surrounding landscape were thoughtfully designed to exist in harmony with the environment, showcasing the area’s remarkable beauty at every turn.

What makes this property unique

A Peaceful Tropical Retreat

Set within a lush tropical forest, the cottage offers a serene and restful escape. Awaken to the melody of birdsong and unwind to the gentle rhythm of waves rolling onto the nearby beach. This natural symphony creates the perfect ambiance to disconnect from the world, lose yourself in nature, and find yourself at peace.
