ODESSA
Odessa is a three bedroom / three bath private West Indian Style estate by the sea, where the trade winds blow night and day with the sounds of breaking surf and tree frogs. Surrounded by blooming frangipani, bougainvillea, a bay tree and giant cacti, Odessa is only steps away from it's own natural beach.
|
More Info: Great for families or for couples seeking a secluded getaway, Odessa nestles on a hillside directly overlooking Hart Bay. A stone path leads down to excellent hiking, sunning, swimming or snorkeling among exotic coral and tropical fish.
Only five minutes from Cruz Bay with craft shops, groceries, excellent dining, dan

or exploring, Odessa feels like worlds away from civilization.
Stone walls with arched windows, blue and white clapboard, lattice and gingerbread detailing convey classic West Indian charm. Folding French Doors open the entire front of the house to a panorama of sights and sounds of the sea. Gentle off-shore waves and rocks texture the bay.
Curl up with a book in the estate's cozy living room or watch the sun rise over Rendezvous Bay on one of the airy decks. Prepare your meals in a fully equipped kitchen with dishware made by island potters. Dine at the indoor bar or at the outside table.
St. John is a fifteen minute ferry ride from St. Thomas. From the ferry landing in Cruz Bay, the house manager takes you to Odessa and can also help you rent a vehicle for your stay; cabs are available. An island of less than 4000 permanent residents, St, John maintains a village-like ambiance.

There are elegant and interesting shops in St. John. Small supermarkets are located in Cruz Bay along with casual restaurants and fine dining.
St. John is an inexpensive boat ride to the British Islands of Tortola, Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke. A passport or proof of citizenship, (drivers license with either a voter registration card or birth certificate), is required for customs clearance.
Amenities: Odessa's master bedroom features a queen-sized bed, comfortable furniture and a semi-open air shower. The private lower level offers two bedrooms with queen size beds, full bathrooms and a spacious deck.
A sofa and roll-away bed can accommodate other guests. Odessa comes with linens and towels, beach chairs and coolers. The electricity is supplemented by 12-volt solar power. A gas grill, cable TV, VCR, compact disc/tape deck and telescope are provided. Every room in this West Indian style house faces the ocean. The private beach is shared with only a few other houses. Odessa overlooks multi-textured Hart Bay and has open air verandahs with screens. At night you hear only the surf and tree frogs.

Activities - Things to do
Adventures In Tobago - Trinidad and Tobago Tobago's pace of life is unhurried. One can bask in the sunshine on a deserted beach or make one's way through the small hilly town of Scarborough - Tobago's capital. Tranquil days turn into balmy nights with spectacular displays from the sun as it sets. The island of Tobago and the tiny satellite islands dotted around it are a nature-lover's dream.
Food and Dining
Caribbean Coffee - Caffeinated Treasures in the Caribbean - Caribbean Possibly the world's most famous coffee-growing location is Colombia, but many countries in and around the Caribbean also produce this flavorful bean.
Main/General
Ecotourism in Martinique - Martinique Tourism and leisure activities on the French West Indies’ island of Martinique are undergoing a period of diversification. Although the beaches still remain the most popular attraction, more and more visitors are coming to this little bit of France in the Caribbean because of the ever-growing opportunity to enjoy such ecotouristic activities as nature visits, walking, cycling and hiking.
Places to Go
Caribbean National Parks Make Incredible Vacation Stops - Caribbean There is so much to do at the National Parks found throughout the islands of the Caribbean. Want to spend an afternoon underwater, swimming with the fish? What about a morning watching beautiful tropical birds awaken?
Scuba Diving
Tobago Scuba Diving - Trinidad and Tobago Hmmm, Tobago Diving...You'll LOVE it. It's tranquil, quiet, very laid back and friendly. Tobago's got to be the least known little island that ever comes to mind when it comes to diving. It's a little secret in the Caribbean. Mantas?
Travel & Accommodations
What's New at Tobago's Coco Reef Resort and Spa - Trinidad and Tobago For the past four days, we'd been experiencing Trinidad's Carnival, a pulsating heartbeat of humanity that winds through the streets of Port of Spain. We'd chipped, we'd shuffled, we had lost ourselves in the pounding rhythm of the Caribbean's largest annual celebration that for many serves as an annual rebirth.

Caribbean Travel Tip Suitcase Tip Pack a dryer sheet in your suitcase for long flights - this helps to eliminate that musty "airplane odor" and you'll have a "just washed" air to your clothes when you unpack.
