Very comfortable! No microwave but the oven and cooktop worked great. Suggest adding another table in the bathroom for additional counter space, but other than that, it was great! A surprise treat was the small creek off the balcony. Great sound!
Everything was exactly as advertised. Room was clean and beautiful. All amenities were there and Dylan was very helpful. We stayed in the ground floor unit but still had a view of the ocean and could access the upper floors with the pool and top floor balcony for a better view. First time staying outside of a resort and loved the flexibility it provided. I highly recommend it.
The apartment is bare-boned. The listing is accurate, but the property is missing some usual amenities. There is no microwave and no tv. The kitchen could use more counter space. There no hot water in the kitchen sink. The balcony is nice for first cup of morning coffee. When the sun comes over the mountain it’s too hot to sit there. The pool is refreshing after a day at the beach. Having a washing machine is convenient. There is no a/c, but, as others have mentioned, it’s cool enough in the evenings with just a fan.
The Hillside home is an awesome place. Very comfortable, clean and equipped. My neighbors (Daisy and the kids) were lovely, inviting and helpful people. I never felt hot as the angle on which the home is built keeps direct Dominica sun from pounding in. Every evening gorgeous sunsets weee a delight! Mero is a quiet spot, especially as things recover from Covid but it is centrally located and allows access to the entire island at any time. Initial arrival to the home is tricky as it’s up a washed out road and signage is poor. Be sure you’re ready with an an active phone line or at least Google maps offline. I was not but neighbors were friendly and helpful. The person waiting for me (Dylan) hung in there with my late arrival. I am in his debt! My stay was three weeks and it was a totally wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

Dominica at its finest
Where do i begin, i love everything about this house. I prefer to stay away from the hustle and bustle and this location was perfect.. Definitely away from it all but still close enough to restaurants, gas station and mero beach. About 25 minutes into town and the drive is fairly simple. The owners of this luxurious home , clare and adam and their two children are the most amazing people ever. If you get the privelage to meet them that's a bonus by itself. The french decor had such a luxurious feel. The room/ living area was alot larger than i expected which was great. The lounge pool area was incredible. Pool was so clean and inviting, perfect temperature. I spent much time out there. The view and landscaping around pool was so exotic and lush. I had everything i needed from fresh linens, towels and kitchen appliances. I was able to cook meals with no problem and everything i needed was in stock. Its perfect for two or traveling solo. I would highly recommend this area in this big beautiful house to anyone. Its very private, downstairs and quiet. Doesnt even really feel like it's connected to the house. It exceeded my expectations and will most definitely book here again. It doesnt get much better than this its a perfect choice. Its complete dominica nature at your fingertips. Incredible value and an incredible stay.

very nice, clean and quiet apartment!
This is a very nice apartment in the village of Mero. The beach / village / small restaurants can easily be reached by foot. Perfect for 2 persons, well equipped kitchen, very clean, apparently everything very recently built and in perfect condition. Nice pool with chillout area.
Helpful neighbour to give an orientation of the village, the surroundings and help with any issues that might occur.
We had a wonderful time!

About the host
Hosted by Adam & Melissa Partridge
We are the Partridge family. Adam, Clare and our two boys Ridley and Felix. We visited Dominica first in 1998 whilst working on the cruise ships and fell in love with the island and its people. We vowed to build a house there one day and have finally achieved our dream. We now look forward to sharing this beautiful island with you. Back in England, Adam has his own auction business and Clare is a Zumba instructor.
We have a family antiques auction business in the UK Clare is also a Zumba instructor. The whole family is cricket mad and Adam is a qualified youth cricket coach.
Why they chose this property
We believe this is a unique property on the island due to the quiet, yet convenient location. The wonderful sea views. The antique furnishings sourced from around the world to create an individual atmosphere. The proximity to Dominica's best beach at Mero and accessibility to explore the rest of this breathtaking and exciting island.
You only have to look at other rentals available to see that Hillside House & Apartments are high calibre!
