Main Description
Large family house in hillside location, with panoramic views from wide verandahs surrounding the property. Rooms are spacious and airy with high ceilings and ceiling fans throughout. There are four main double bedrooms and one staff self-contained bedroom, making 5 in all. Four bedrooms are en-suite and one shares facilities. The kitchen is well-equipped with 2 large fridges and a freezer as well as dishwasher and washing machine, also microwave, food processor etc. Satelite TV, CD player and fax machine are provided. Internet access can be set up with local provider TSTT. Voltage is 112.
The house is set in a mature garden well-maintained with tropical flowers and fruit trees. It is a paradise for birds and butterflies, brightly-coloured lizards sun themselves and in the evening the cicadas and fireflies create an exotic background to the rum punch on the terrace, while you watch the sun setting in a blaze of red and orange. Sunsets at Windy Edge are legendary.
'Secluded but not isolated' is the best way to describe the location. The small capital town of Scarborough is about 10 mins away by car, our nearest beach and restaurents a similar distance, the airport 30 mins. Activities can be arranged as required with the help of our housekeeper who looks after our guests with great care and attention to detail. A hire car can be arranged for you and meals provided if required.

Set high in the green hills of Tobago, Windy Edge is the perfect place for a relaxing and restful holiday. Most of our guests return year after year. For those wanting more action we are not far from any of the activities on offer. The nearest beach Little Bacolet is 10 minutes by car and, with its own beach bar, is a firm favourite. The house was built in the 1960s by a former US Ambassador to Japan wishing to retire in Tobago; the oriental influence in its design makes for a calm and peaceful atmosphere. It is laid out on one level and surrounded by wide verandahs with sensational views. Over 2 acres of grounds surround it and whilst cultivated around the house and pool, there is a large area left as forest lower down the hill creating a wildlife sanctuary. There is an abundance of birds, over 30 species have been seen around the grounds, and tropical fruit such as mangoes, papaya, bananas, limes etc. are available for our guests.
