Small Personal safe. Cotton bed linen & towels are provided.

You can see the view without getting out of bed!
2 sets of louvred red cedar doors open out onto the 45ft balcony.
The bathrooms are 'Wet rooms', fully tiled and of a good size.
The rooms are naturally quite cool but there is a portable and a ceiling fan.
The ceiling are high and with the tiled floors stay quite cool throughout the day.
Up here we hardly have many mosquitoes at all and a breeze blows most days.
We are surround by a good variety of local birds such as MotMots, Ant Shrikes & 5 varieties of hummingbirds. The vegetation is quite lush and we have mango, banana, paw paw and fresh herbs etc growing in the garden.
Wi-fi access throughout is very good & perfect if you need to work remotely.

Carpe Diem Villa was completed in late 2007. Half timbered construction over a block ground floor. It is our house and was designed for US to live in and constructed of local materials using all local labour. The whole point of the house was to take advantage of the view of Castara Bay. It is set back and 80 feet above the Northside Road in the village of Castara, a small unspoilt fishing village on the Caribbean coast of Tobago.
The 2 Sandy beaches are safe and kept clean by the villagers.
Lifeguards are on duty during the day. Come & Swim or snorkel with the Stingrays or Pull the Seine!
Walk to the local Waterfall to cool off in the heat of the day

We invest in the community & can help you organise personalised tours into the rainforest, visit waterfalls, take you fishing & then to a BBQ the catch on a secluded beach. Or tours to Nylon Pool & Buccoo reef, Sunday school, visit Little Tobago & Goat Island, Bio Luminance tours, Being with Horses, Chocolate making & so much more
The local bars are friendly with locals, expats and visitors all 'liming' together.

Summary: Carpe Diem is a wonderful place that provides serenity, calmness and beautiful views of Castara Beach meeting all your basic needs. Yvonne and Chris are wonderful people and the most responsive hosts we have met. They aim to please and have thought about almost everything you might need. It would have been nice and more enjoyable had the apartment had a microwave, paper towels and some wine glasses.The hummingbirds feeding right outside our apartment were delightful.There is no AC and for us that became an issue especially after the short but steep climb back from Castara beach !Panday their friend and gardener picked us up at the airport after a red eye , took us back to the airport and we hired him to drive us to Englishmen’s Bay. He is a gem and full of knowledge.We enjoyed Carpe Diem and the village of Castara and we recommend it !We enjoyed our time there!
