Fisherman's LodgeOriginally a fisherman's shack, this delightful building has been newly-renovated and has dual aspect views to the beach below and a clear view to the Caribbean Sea to the west. This means you can enjoy the spectacular sunsets no matter what time of year you visit. The renovation has been sensitively done with weatherboard exterior and fretwork trim. It is constructed of Red Cedar, a hardwood cut from the rainforest some 60 years ago - with the hand planing and saw markings still visible.The bedroom (13ft by 15ft) has louvered windows designed to catch the cool breezes that come over the hill from the east, a polished hardwood floor and a queen sized bed with white bed linen and frame mosquito net. The shower room, toilet and basin open off the living room as does the L-shaped kitchen to the side which allows free movement of air and uninterrupted views. The kitchen is modern and well equipped with good quality pots and pans, cutlery and china for six people, glassware, toaster, coffee pots, teapots and blender/ice crusher. The L-shaped living room (20ft by 13ft) opens out to the same ocean views as the new bedroom and has a single bed/sofa on the end wall which is suitable for a friend or a child (supplement applicable). A hair dryer, hammock, free standing ventilator fan, iron, CD player and security safe are provided. The original porch has been massively extended to create a spacious covered deck area (13ft by 15ft) furnished with comfortable seating for four people, with either a coffee table or a hinged drop-down table for dining. Next to the covered deck is a lockable storage cupboard for beach gear, snorkels etc. Outside is a large private grassy terrace with dining table offering comfort and privacy as well as probably the best outlook in Castara. | |||||
