Three weeks in St. Patrick parish
This house has one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen anywhere in the Caribbean. Loved sitting on the terrace gazing at it and enjoying the wonderful breezes and hummingbird sightings. We also were able to connect with several very genial locals and expats such as Maggie at the nearby beach bar who organized weekly walks while we were there. The bed in the master bedroom was so comfortable it made us consider getting a new one when we got home. Stephen, the local property manager, was very helpful and got this coffee addict a coffee maker when requested. A highlight of our stay was a wonderful meal of local food at the Melting Pot cafeteria in Grenville, and they have an excellent bakery too. Not easy to find but worth the effort. If you want to experience the real Grenada rather than the tourist Grenada, this is the place. All in all we enjoyed our stay.
Things to know: there is no hot water in the house except through a kind of attachment on the shower head. I heated water in the electric kettle to wash dishes. There is no glass in the windows, just good screens and metal louvers. We still felt completely secure, however after a rainy spell we had a problem with mosquitos. The water went out three times during our stay due to municipal water issues. We appreciated a plumber being sent to check things out but nothing could be done until the municipal issue was fixed. In the meantime we boiled water to drink.
There are not many restaurants in the area so we ended up cooking and eating at the house more than we really would have liked.
Know also that it is a rugged 2 hour drive from St George’s where the airport is to get to the house. Due to people and animals on the road and sharp drop offs I would not recommend doing it at night or without a good nav system under any circumstances!!
