About this property

Beautiful new timber cottage, sea view, private and close to the beach.

Covid-19 update: Coconut Cottage is certified by the Dominica Government to operate as vacation accommodation and also as accommodation for quarantine. Our prices are currently reduced to encourage visitors. We have fibre broadband for anyone who needs to work while away.
Treetops is a cute Caribbean style timber house newly built with open-plan living and surrounded by nature. Inside the open space feels light and airy with a high ceiling lots of shutters doors and fans allowing the breeze though to keep the cottage cool.
Outside the roofed deck gives you space to relax or dine with a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea just 100 yards away. The trees surround you with nature and give you a feeling of seclusion. The deck is perfect to watch the birds and overlook the pelicans in the bay diving for fish. Every morning you wake in the four poster bed to watch the sailing boats cross the bay on their way to Guadaloupe. The cottage overlooks a sweeping canopy of almond and palm trees down to the coastline just 100 metres away. In the evening you can relax and watch the sunset and then later open the awning on the balcony to star gaze in the night sky. As you can imagine it is a very special place to stay.
Treetops sleeps 2 guests in an open plan area. The cottage is new and designed in the Caribbean style which feels fresh and bright. The four poster bed is queen-size with a ceiling fan above. Doors and shutters open out onto the deck and balcony with spectacular views of the sea and rainforest landscape. The bed has a quality mattress, quality bedding and draped mosquito nets. The seating area has a comfortable couch and coffee table.
The bathroom is so cute. The shower cubicle is built of wood and feels like you are in a rainforest spa. You have the option of instant hot shower or a cold rain shower, and even have slats to overlook the rainforest as you shower. Truly a relaxing space.
The kitchen is well equipped and beautifully built locally with mahogany worktops. It has a stove, fridge-freezer, coffee caffatiere, toaster, kettle and all the glassware, crockery and cookware needed for your stay. Even standing at the sink you have a wonderful view of the bay.

The cool breeze and sounds of nature fill this light-filled airy living space with stunning views in every direction. The cottage is also practical with easy access down the steps from the road and all the facilities that you will need to make you feel comfortable during your stay.

Once inside you are drawn to the deck and the view of the sea just 100 yards away over the treetops.
Location is important and Treetops is a 1 minute walk to 'Keeping it real' a highly regarded fish and lobster restaurant and bar. Toucari has a couple of small local rum shops. Portsmouth is only a 10 minute drive where you will find grocery shopping and lots of restaurants.
On those chill out days you can just wander down to Toucari to hang out with the locals, watch the fishermen bring in their catch or drink a chilled beer. Or just lay on the beach or splash about in the shallows or snorkel, paddleboard dor kayak amongst the amazing reefs. Toucari is one of Dominica's most welcoming and friendly villages.

Lovely but noisy at night
Treetops was like a treehouse. Toucari is a gorgeous town on a bay with excellent snorkeling which is why I chose it. The only problem we had was three weekend nights when the bars down on the main road blasted music. And this music had a very fast beat and was disturbing. We were trying to sleep and it was impossible. We did go to bed early though. Not sure when they finally stopped. I checked the time on the third night and it was 10:00 pm.

Wunderschönes idyllisches Haus mit grandioser Aussicht
Der Kontakt zur Gastgeberin Kate war unkompliziert, hilfsbereit und freundlich. Das Haus selbst ist perfekt sauber, liegt sehr ruhig oberhalb von Toucari; nach etwa 5 Minuten Fußweg erreicht man die Lokale / Shops von Toucari - besonders hervorzuheben ist das Restaurant "Keepin' it real" von Derrick mit dem sehr guten Essen, leckeren Drinks und einer fantastischen Aussicht. Treetops Cottage - unsere erste Adresse auf Dominica. Sehr zu empfehlen.

As advertised... beautiful views
We had a relaxing time at Treetops. The place was as advertised, very cozy with beautiful views. We spent much of our time enjoying the views and nature from the balcony. I had to bring work and found it very peaceful to sit on the balcony and work. The Wi-Fi worked well. We went swimming in the Bay often, and the water was great. Definitely a good place for snorkelling and scuba diving. Disappointed by Keepin’ It Real (served dry, rubbery lobster; he had closed for two days prior for a funeral). We did not use Caso’s services as planned. We wanted to go fishing, but Caso’s boat needed repairs. He didn’t pick us up at the airport as arranged (the lovely Alan and Ellie did), because he was busy doing something else. He drove us when we were leaving, picking up his girlfriend, and then dropping us… he had his phone with him in the car. After we were dropped off, our Air Antilles flight was cancelled… we called him (he would not have been far), but no answer to calls or text (we said the flight was cancelled)… hours later, he claimed in text that he had left his phone at home to charge. This was not true. We feel he was “getting busy” with his girlfriend. After being abandoned by Caso, we called the couple who picked us up when we arrived… they came and helped us find affordable accommodation near the airport, and did not want anything in return (we did pay them—they were so helpful, caring and really did go out of their way for us). TIPS: 1) Bring bug spray… Kate had mentioned in the binder left for guests to spray the netting around the bed about two hours before sleeping… it really does work to keep the mosquitoes and other bugs at bay. 2) Bring some warmer clothing… long-sleeved tops, light sweaters… It gets cooler at night, but is nice for walks by the Bay. 3) Places in Portsmouth & Toucari Bay often do not list prices, and tourists are charged more. The IGA in Portsmouth lists prices. 4) If you are doing your own cooking, bring what you know you would miss… not everything is available. 5) Local chicken is delicious! They are truly free run chicken. 6) It rains often (it is a tropical country after all), but it does not last long… I brought a large anorak with a hood. 7) If your plane is cancelled, the airline might not help you. Melville Hall Airport closes at 8 p.m. News travels fast of any cancelled, so some drivers and resort owners will come, offering very high prices. Nearby Marigot has reasonable accommodation.

About the host

Hosted by Kate Thorley

Host profile image
Andy and I have been spending our winters in Dominica for the last 8 years. We have found a lovely community in Toucari and a good social life in Portsmouth. We are from the UK and are now semi retired. We love to sail and spend summers in the Mediterranean. In between we love our life in UK with family and friends. The variety works well for us.

Why they chose this property

Location is everything and in just two minutes you can walk into Toucari bay. The village is small and has a local feel rather than touristic. You will find friendly locals who are happy to welcome you and have a chat. Wander the 300 metres past the Rum Shops, fishing boats and kayak/paddle-board hire until you reach the sandy beach. Relax, watch the Pelicans and swim or snorkell out to one of the 2 reefs in the bay. These reefs are known to be 2 of the best on the island and the great thing is you will almost always be exploring on your own. No other tourists to be seen.
Toucari has the advantage of being off the beaten track but only 10-15 minutes drive to a good choice of restaurants and bars and grocery shopping. The biggest advantage of being based in the North however is having a wonderful choice of hikes, beaches and interesting sites to visit where you hardly ever see another tourist. The cruise ship passengers rarely make it up here. Some of our recommended trips are only known by a few locals so you really feel like you are adventuring and discovering some spectacular scenes.
