“for nature not luxury lovers!”

Sea Cliff Cottages

Jan 10, 2008

seacliff cottages are a great place to stay to explore the island. they are on the northern side of the island so the ocean is rougher. great swimming on the beach downhill and in the crystal clear river that enters there. Calibishie is the village nearby, 15 min by foot, one of the neatest little towns on the entire island. we got food, advice, know how from the local grocers and little tourist info. Seacliff cottage is a well organized, safe place to relax, has all you need, its simple, clean, solar hot water, propane gas cooking range, TV and internet (we have two teens!!!). Gwen and Jim are a great resource which you need, since this is not your average vacation. you need to be willing to explore, drive really bad roads (we had a 4x4, but some brave souls travel by bus!), be flexible, ask a lot of questions, see some awesome nature (nobody there but you!!!) and poverty...if you like hotel style pampering, this is not your place (no big hotels on the entire island!). We are very eco-oriented, loved to observe the cockroaches in the compost bin, picked fresh fruits from the grounds, took tours with local guides (thanks Prim!). English is main language, but French works too, US $ accepted everywhere.

We had another wonderful stay in the studio cottage. We went for 1 week last December and came back for 2 weeks at Sea Cliff again this year.

Calibishie is our favorite location in Dominica as is Sea Cliff. The studio cottage has everything we need.

The gardens are as lovely as ever and you can't get a better view from the balcony.

Again Gwen was a fantastic host and her staff are a great bunch:
Augustus the mild mannered polite farmer who brought us cucumbers; Prim, gardner, guide and all around great guy (lunch at the beach & Chaudiere falls) - Pascal, security and driver to & from and back again to the airport (lost lugguage!), Ricky, security and the newest addition to the gang and Wendy our tour guide. All are special and unique and I would recommend any of these gentlemen for tours,inquires and getting fresh fruits, vegtables and fish

Everyone we meet in Dominica is so friendly and it seems that everyone is always giving us fruits or veggies.

Looking forward to our furture visits to Sea Cliff.

We stayed in the studio. Every time we looked off the balcony the expansive view was different. Situated on top of a spit of land, there is an almost constant breeze cooling the rooms and whisking away any mosquitos. All the staff were very nice and helpful while leaving you plenty of privacy.

It's about 25-30 minutes into Portsmouth, but the drive is beautiful, although unnerving. Not much to eat around, but like all of Dominica, if you walk around and talk to folks you'll find what you're looking for.

Sea Cliff was easily the best of all the cottages we stayed in on Dominica (Roxy Mountain, Ginger Lily, and Ocean View).

My husband and myself have been visiting Dominica for some years, and found seacliffe cottages calibishie.An excellent find the houses are very comfortable and very clean, and well equipped for eating in or out.there is television radio phone in most if the houses,and close to the beachs, and a view to die for.
The owners are very friendly and help when you need it without being in your personal space.Also the staff are all excellent,nothing is to much trouble for them.
I have never had cause to complain about anything since we have been going to seacliffe cottages
If you want to go to Dominica give them a try i am sure you will not be dissapointed.

“True caribbean spirit”

Sea Cliff Cottages

Apr 15, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

The houses are beautiful and situated in a safe quiet area that was perfect for a relaxing trip in Dominica. The houses are clean and comfortable and the surrounding grounds are artfully landscaped with gorgeous ocean views off the cliff.
Jim and Gwen are two fo the kindest and generous people I have ever met. They were so accomodating and made our stay unbelievable.
I highly reccommend Sea Cliff for a truly relaxing, first-time trip to Dominica. You will find plenty to do once you are there. It's a bit far from the main cities, but we took the bus and had quite an adventure there. Otherwise, consider renting a car, the roads are in great shape and considerably safe for the Caribbean.
