Jacaranda House - Summary Description

3-bedroom Holiday Villa.

Jacaranda is situated high up above Stonehaven Bay and Grafton Beach, with wonderful views out to the Caribbean Sea and coastline. A very extravagant property of a most unusual design with many full height shutters enabling the house to be completely opened up to the outside. Would make a wonderful honeymoon house or ultimate romantic retreat, alternatively ideal for a family holiday. Not suitable for very small children or people who would have difficulty with stairs as the house, pool and gardens are on several levels.

Location: Jacaranda House is ideally located in the south eastern end of Tobago, being within 20 minutes of the airport and Scarborough, the capital. Close by are the Mt Irvine championship golf course, PADI dive centres, sailing, deep sea fishing and 4 of the best beaches in Tobago. Shops, from supermarkets to stalls, are all nearby including fish from the sea every afternoon; further away are the Scarborough market, delicatessen and meat straight from the farm!

House Layout: The upper floor of Jacaranda House is open plan with living, dining and kitchen areas all sharing the panoramic views on three sides, plus the master bedroom. Downstairs are two bedrooms with ensuite shower/bathrooms looking over the pool and the sea, and a fourth bedroom with a sofa bed opening onto the garden. In front is the pool with its vanshing edge and sun loungers, and a lawn area with table and chairs shaded under a bougainvillea roof. A further garden area with fruit trees is at the side.

Things to do: The best beaches are on the Caribbean side and a few of the best are overlooked by Jacaranda House. Immediately below is Stonehaven or Grafton Beach and within 5 minutes drive are Turtle, Mt Irvine and Grange beaches. Pigeon Point, the quintessential Caribbean beach with those magical colours, is 20 minutes drive and Englishman's Bay, the beach with no buildings in sight, is 30 minutes drive. Good snorkelling can be had around the rocks of most beaches and Tobago has excellent scuba diving with several PADI approved dive schools quite close. There are excellent windsurfing facilities at Pigeon Point with regular breezes all the time. There is horse riding and you can hire bicycles locally. There are plenty of restaurants nearby
