About this property
Luxury private beachfront villa with spectacular views
Villa Vista is an enchanting home away from home. One of the most remarkable things about the villa is its location on the cliff above the bay. This Mediterranean style villa overlooks the gorgeous Hodges Bay and is nestled amid the windswept fauna of Point Dubique on the east coast of Dominica. As its name suggests, it is a house of panoramic views of the Atlantic ocean, Hodges Bay and the majestic mountain peaks of Morne Trois Piton and Morn Diablotin. Atlantic breezes refresh and inspire, making this villa ideal for relaxation. In addition to the captivating views, you will delight in the pleasant sounds of the sea surf, seagulls, and pelicans as well as the soothing melodies of the revitalizing winds that bless the villa. There is a private driveway with off-street parking right at the villa's front door. It is in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of restaurants and shops. It is only 20 minutes from Melville Hall airport to the south. "Pirates of the Caribbean" was filmed at several nearby locations. This picturesque Villa Vista is comprised of two floors, the top floor housing the master bedroom and spa facilities. The upstairs master bedroom suite houses a king-sized bamboo bed, a couch and reading area, as well as a master bath with bidet. There is a separate room with the hot tub (which also has a terrific view). Finally, there is a large private balcony with a wonderful view of the sea and the mountains. The ground floor has one and a half bathrooms and two bedrooms: a Queen-sized bed in one and two twin beds in the other. The bedroom with the queen bed has direct access to the terrace. All bedrooms have ceiling fans and mosquito nets, if desired. The kitchen is on the ground floor and is fully equipped and outfitted to continue that home away from home experience. It comes complete with refrigerator, microwave, stove with oven, coffeemaker, and toaster. The living room is cozy with its flat screen television to keep you entertained. You can view a selection of local or foreign channels or just gaze at the beautiful scenery from this comfort zone. From the living room you look out directly on the terrace and swimming pool. You may wish to recline on one of the lounge chairs on the open terrace overlooking the water or swim in the revitalizing "infinity" pool while enjoying a good rum punch. There is a wifi internet system throughout. If you like keeping fit, there is an invigorating walk down about 300 meters to the beach where you can swim, snorkel, fish or just sit quietly watching the river meet the waves rolling in. If you visit during the full moon, you will be treated to the amazing sight of the moon rising above the bay. Villa Vista is private enough for you to forget the world outside if you want, as it seems to have a magical effect on all who enter. But from here, it is easy access to Calibishie, where you can find quaint houses, small grocery stores and shops (including a mini wine shop), and several wonderful restaurants. Calibishie is a quiet fishing village with warm, friendly people only too happy to help you experience your home away from home. It is also the home of Red Rocks, a popular visit along the coast by Calibishie. This location is also ideally situated to explore all that the north of Dominica has to offer, including such things around Portsmouth as Indian River and Cabrits National Park. At Villa Vista we also offer premier guest support services. Our local property manager can attend to any needs you may have, and can arrange for such things as maid services, chef services, prepared meal deliveries, or help in arranging tours or transportation. We can also provide for pick-up at the airport and transportation to the villa.

The breeze at night is heavenly, the view is just unreal, it was so beautiful. The host responds very quickly and we had everything we needed. We would love to come back.
This house was a little slice of heaven in an unspoiled country with the friendliest people you will ever meet. The house owner and host were both available, attentive, and helpful as our family of five enjoyed the village of Callibishie and the island of Dominica. The house is clean and laid out well, with amazing views, an outdoor pool, and an indoor hot tub. Chris connected us with a local who provided us with meals many days, stocked our pantry before we arrived, and gave us helpful hints for our trip. We connected with Wendy from Untouchable Tours. Keep in mind, Calibishie is in the north, near the airport, but 1.5 hours from Roseau, the capital.
The host and property manager were very responsive. The location, views and house were astounding. The environment is unspoiled and the Dominicans are so welcoming and friendly. Shhhh, don’t tell anyone about this untouched environment! Wow!
We had a lovely, comfortable and relaxing five nights at Villa Vista in Calibishie. It’s a beautiful place with a great view. Lots of relaxing outdoor/indoor space and a hot tub. We really enjoyed staying there.
The views were amazing and the breeze made it just fine without air conditioning. The villa was quiet and perfect and no one wanted to go home. Dominica is beautiful and the people are really kind and friendly. Next time we’ll hire a local driver because the roads are not for tourists.
Magnificent view, pleasant house and superb island...

Spectacular -we good have just stayed on the veranda the fill time we were here enjoying the views and the pool! The kitchen also has fantastic views out to Hodges Bay when the windows are opened. We felt so relaxed and in tune with nature!
We had a wonderful time! The house is a beautiful as the pictures. Chris and Gweneth were so nice and helpful. Definitely my spot next time I travel to Dominica.
Amazing Vrbo Experience. Great communication with homeowner and manager, beautiful view, pool and hot tub were a huge plus, and felt very safe and comfortable. 10/10, would go back in an instant.
Property was great and exceeded our expectations. Communication was great. The view is absolutely spectacular. The property is clean and pictures are close to accurate with some minor changes to the furniture and bug netting in the bedrooms. There is a small store within walking distance. I would not hesitate to stay at this property again should we return to Dominica.
Vista Villa is a beautiful, clean home with a beautiful view. We were surprised that the house had a short trail down to a very safe, secluded beach in a swimmable bay. The house had a love pool and two decks to enjoy the view and the surroundings.
From the minute we walked in this house all we wanted to do was sit , relax & gaze at the beautiful view . A much needed vacation spot for all us Northerners , thank you Chris for helping us navigate some of this wonderful island .
This is an amazingly beautiful property on the North Coast of Dominica. The view is awe inspiring. I can't imagine anyway to make this house better. My recommendation would be for whoever reads this to look no further and book this property right away!
We enjoyed a week at Villa Vista. The house is situated just above the coast with a beautiful view over the ocean and surrounded by tropical vegetation. You can walk down to a lovely little beach where a beautiful river flows into the sea where you can swim in crystal clear water.Although it was a very windy week we were able to spend most of our time on the terrace. Calibishie is a lovely village with friendly people and some good restaurants, although shopping facilities are limited. There is a market on Saturdays in Portsmouth, half an hour's drive away.If you are looking for nature and tranquillity .... is the place to be.
Our stay at the villa was absolutely wonderful. Chris went above and beyond, proving to be the best host we've ever had. He made check-in and check-out effortless, allowing us to fully enjoy our vacation without any interruptions. The villa offers breathtaking views, peaceful surroundings, and even a small black sand beach accessible via a trail right from the property. A small convenience store is just a 7-minute walk away, and the local town, only a 5-minute drive, with plenty of small ocean-view restaurants and bars. The property manager was also fantastic—very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this villa and would definitely return in the future!
Great location with great views Exactly as listed. Cool breeze keeps bedroom cool in the evening. Hot tub and pool are excellent. Great shower in master bedro is sooothing. Try out the Red Rock Cafe, the Chocolate Facorty and the Coral Reef Bar and Restaurant. Only negative for us is that there were no skillets or pans to cook with the house (or we could not find them).

Thanks Jackie! So happy you enjoyed it. A pity you did not message or call as we have an assortment of those
Well maintained home with plenty of space. Sunrise and moonrises were spectacular. Decent grocery shopping in Calibishie but the best store we found was Savers Enterprise in Portsmouth. Safety & privacy were excellent. The house is sited in a way that no one can see and there is no other property "looking down" on you. Gweneth (mgr) told us the do's on dont's for safety at check in and Chris (owner) was very responsive to all inquiries.

The access roads to Calibishe are dangerous (narrow and winding) and therefore it is not easy to circulate. But the place is beautifull and people are very nice.
