Castaways is a newly built (August 2018) luxury hilltop holiday apartment on the unspoilt Caribbean island of Carriacou. The two-level apartment comfortably sleeps two.
The apartment is in Hermitage, close (half a mile) to Tyrell Bay, but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet when it gets livelier in the evenings. The hilltop location provides stunning views and welcome breezes to keep you cool.
Whilst the apartment adjoins our home, the design ensures total privacy so you will be undisturbed although we are happy to provide any advice or suggestions if needed.
Spacious open plan top level living area with:
• Fully equipped modern kitchen with full oven/grill, gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge freezer.
• Dining area.
• Large corner sofa bed.
• A flat screen smart TV and DVD player (live TV is not available but you can log into your Netflix or Amazon Prime accounts).
• Cloakroom toilet.
• Patio doors (with flyscreens) allow the cooling sea breeze to pass through and give access to covered verandahs with the west facing one leading onto a small garden.
Cool lower level bedroom and ensuite with:
• UK king-sized double bed with pillow views over the ocean to where the sun rises. Bed linen provided.

Outdoor spaces

• The full drama of the night sky can be admired with views of the Milky Way where a million stars shine back from the inky blackness.
Access
• The secluded hilltop location comes at the price of a climb although a vehicle makes short work of the slope.
• Rustic steps beside the concrete road make walking easier.
• A private, lit, side entrance leads down to the yard and access road.
• Stairs or steps between apartment levels means the property is not wheelchair accessible or suitable for anyone with limited mobility or children.
