Wave Song Apartment
The one-bedroom apartment, WaveSong, is a little smaller than Sunset, but has the added feature of a large balcony. In almost every other way the two apartments are extremely similar – even identical – and so rather than bore our reader, I will only describe the differences.
WaveSong offers a spacious 35sq.m. of covered accommodation floor area. This basically consists of a large living room and kitchen with the bedroom and bathroom leading off, exactly as in Sunset. The bedroom is a little more spacious than the ground floor bedroom in the larger apartment. A dining counter with high stools overlooks the bay and avoids any necessity for a large dining table, so the living area of WaveSong looks almost bare in comparison to Sunset. In every other way, the two apartments are identically equipped and furnished and everything to exactly the same high standard.
WaveSong has a 5.9x1.8m balcony, accessible through folding shuttered doors from the living area. The deck gives some of the best views of Little Bay and the beach available. The balcony is equipped with four rattan chairs and a small all-weather table, which will make an ideal spot for al fresco dining.
Conclusion
Castara has undeniable charm. The Tobago I fell in love with more than 50 years ago is rapidly disappearing as modern life takes over. Fortunately, a few vestiges remain and Castara is one of those places where you really do feel removed from the rat race. Make no mistake, it will not suiteveryone. Some people will absolutely loathe the ‘back-to-basics’ lifestyle of the village, but manyothers spend a fortune seeking this sort of environment.
So, what does ‘back-to-basics’ mean? Well, everyone seems to have their own definition. The one thing I am sure of is that the term does not have to mean living uncomfortably or having to 
‘rough it’. I suppose it’s all relative. As far as I’m concerned, ‘simple’ is fine, but I do expect a comfortable bed, a decent shower and washing facilities with hot water. I also demand the ability to be able to cook a good meal, particularly if the offerings of local restaurants are limited.
In this respect, SeaScape undoubtedly offers everything we require. Jill is already giving me grief, asking if we can stay a day or two longer and cut back on the time at our next review. That is no reflection on any other property; only on her desire to stay here a little longer.
