The cottage looks even better in person than the online pictures show. The view down the valley is very nice. We very much enjoyed breakfast each morning watching the humming birds and an occasional iguana or agouti passing by below the railing. Privacy is very good but the outdoor shower and a corner of one room are in view of the cottage next door. We used the indoor shower. The cottage is open to the outdoors so you will encounter the occasional lizard, bug or bird in the living space and there is no temperature control other than fans. I love my AC but didn't miss it at all. The surrounding ocean moderates the temperature and we actually needed a blanket at night. We slept under the mosquito net but I don't recall seeing a single mosquito all week. The location of the cottage is perfect for visiting many of Dominica's best hikes and attractions. We had a rental car which I would recommend. Finding the cottage at night is nearly impossible because the sign is located above your driving lights. Here is an easy way to find it. After you pass Cocoa Cottage, the road goes left and then back right. After the right hand turn go about 100 yards and you will spot a narrow lane on the right passing through dense vegetation. That is the driveway. There are very few nice restaurants in the area. Ginette, the hostess, is a wonderful person and she can set you up to have a nice dinner delivered some nights. Lacou Melrose House in Roseau is also an excellent option.
