An interesting choice for a vacation rental, especially for nature lovers, Montserrat is a peaceful island where you can go birdwatching, lace up your boots for a hilly hike, or enjoy snorkelling to your heart's content. Or perhaps a simple game of dominoes will suffice.
Although quiet, Montserrat endured a violent volcanic eruption in both 1995 and 1997. The mud and ash that spewed from Soufriere Hills buried the capital city itself - Plymouth - and left nearly half of Montserrat uninhabitable, causing 8,000 people to leave the island.
The slower economy and scarcity of tourist luxuries need not deter the traveller who is excited by the thought of a still-active volcano. A holiday or vacation rental here could bring you closer to the living planet.
And tourists from Antigua and elsewhere have been arriving steadily since 2005, when the new airport opened. So the discerning traveller might find much in favour of a vacation rental in Montserrat.
