The house · a walk-through

Bed & make-your-own breakfast

“Not quite a hotel, not quite a hostel either,” says Amy, the owner, who bought the house in 2018 and lives in a separate house on the property. It’s a shared, open-air, hand-painted Caribbean house — and a well-loved one.

The big kitchen

A large, well-equipped guest kitchen under pink beams and a sun-yellow ceiling: a long blue bar, two refrigerators, plenty of space and appliances, and coffee and tea available at all times. It’s always open for guests.

Painted lounges

Turquoise walls, futons, bookshelves and murals of a Caribbean beach and a jungle river with toucans. Even when the house is full there’s room for a quiet corner.

Painted bathrooms (shared)

No room has its own bathroom: every guest shares the house’s bathrooms, which the owners keep sparkling clean. The whole-house listing counts a bathroom on each floor, with hot water in two of the three showers. They may be the most painted rooms in the house — showers under the sea, fish and sun rays on the corrugated walls, and an octopus keeping watch over the toilet.
