We live in Dominica part time right now. We spend 9 months throughout the year here and then 1 month in the U.S. in Arizona or we are out traveling the world the rest of the year. We are avid scuba divers and hikers. We built the Beach House for family weekends and to store our small sailboats. We live in Salisbury, about 10 minutes away on the west coast of Dominica.
Patti Rendell purchased this House in 2011
Why Patti Rendell chose Layou
This property is unique because it is on the beach. There are no other properties in this price range, that are on the beach. In addition, the house is on the Layou River, Dominica's largest river, where you can swim in the fresh water also. The house is in the center of a vibrant and lively village, just a 5 minute walk from the main road if you want to use the local buses. See what our guests say
