Relaxing spot

We wanted a place to relax. This was the best. Quiet area with beautiful surroundings. All necessities provided, dishes, cutlery, toaster, blender, coffee maker, etc. Fridge, microwave, stove, lighter, coffee and sugar, towels, soap, shampoo. Beautiful bay (bight) for kayaking. Nice grounds for leisurely walks. Just bring your own food. Highly recommended.

Mouse house

I booked the green tiny home. Told on arrival that i was not staying there. It was rented to someone else. The blue upper floor was where I was placed. Many mice in the unit. Left when I woke to one crawling on me. Owner was aware of mouse problem

Rustic Adventure

if you are looking for a rustic stay and get to meet genuine country people this is the place. Leo and Daverne were excellent hosts. They went out of their way to make our visit as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. They took us out on the boat for a site seeing and snorkelling adventure, a tour of the mangroves and an evening bar hopping and dining (3 separate trips). If you are looking at luxury living this isn’t it. If you are looking for a genuine country stay it is ideal. You will need a 4x4 to access especially in rainy season. However Leo has plans to cement the access road so soon you should be able to access with a SUV. . we loved our stay and exploring the east end of the island.

Nice place, nice people!

If you look for a quiet place to chill, Sweecret Retrait is the perfect place. You can only acces by boat, so no road around. It is almost on the water, with a beautiful view. The house is tiny, but perfect for one or two persons and the air conditioning is good. The pool is nice and refreshing. There's kayak to explore the bight and reach the reef to do snorkeling. Leo and Davern are SOOOO nice! They really make you feel like family. Leo was born there, so he knows everything and everybody ! He made us taste fruits from his nice garden and brang us to fish tuna. He brang us whereever we wanted go. We definitly recommand you this little paradise!

The hosts Leo and Davern are AWESOME

Leo and Davern made me feel like family. They helped me check out the houses I was interested in so I could buy the house that is best for my needs. They showed me all over the island so I could pick the best area for me. Icant wait to move there so I can see them again.
