We spent our 10th Wedding anniversary at Tropical Hideaway with Martin, Julie and their Daughter Corrie in May and could not have been happier. We spent 4 Nights in Hibiscus Cottage and 5 Nights in the Penthouse Suite, Originally we were only staying for 7 nights but enjoyed our stay so much we asked if we could stay a couple extra nights and like everything else, Martin and Julie were very accommodating. The cottage it self is located at the bottom of the property and is by far the most private of all the rooms. Its a great room with a beautiful covered porch with an amazing view of the bay. You find your self staring out to sea for hours at a time. Its a bit of a hike up to the pool but worth every step. The Penthouse was amazing. Its located on the top level of the main house. The view again is outstanding as it is from every single room on the property, The finishings and decorating are something from a design magazine. Open air Shower, Stone seats , Hammocks, Swinging basket chairs, Exotic woods from all over the world, imported 150 year old wagon wheels for windows etc etc. We have stayed in rental homes in Turks and Caicos, Costa Rica, Belize, Key West and Puerto Rico and this home is by far the most amazing place of them all. The details and thought put into the construction of this home can only be explained as amazing. Its by far the best pool in all of Bequia but I would say its near the top for the entire Caribbean, They have a king sized covered day bed with a plasma TV, They have a swim up bar with a fridge and sink. There are seats and benches all over the pool ensuring you are always comfortable. We were lucky enough to have the chance to meet Martin and Julies Daughter Corrie. If she is home while you are at the house be sure to get a massage or spa treatment from her. We hired her for a private guided island tour that was a major highlight of our trip. That tour went so well we ended up spending 3 or 4 nights on the town with her and her friends (who are some of the nicest people we have ever met) I could go on forever but then I would just be spoiling the surprises that await you if you book your stay with the Mansfield family. Dont worry about the owners actually living on site as they are very attentive to your privacy and take it so seriously they actually have passage ways around the property so they dont disturb you at the pool if they need to get to the other side of the property. If you need advice on meals or places to go just ask, They are a wealth of knowledge. The house is a short drive from town and there are several taxi services available, We didnt rent a vehicle at all while were there and wont when we return next year. There is so much I could write but believe me when I say "if you go to Bequia and stay at Tropical Hideaway your vacation is in great hands". Feel free to PM me with any questions... Now Stop thinking and book your stay!!!

As we sit at Basil's on St. Vincent awaiting our taxi to the airport we agree that we don't want to go home. Bequia (a short ferry ride from St. Vincent) is in a word ... idyllic. Tropical Hideaway is clearly one of the premier properties on Bequia. The Mansfields (owners) are charming to the core. Their good company coupled with a truly beautiful property high in the hills above Admiralty Bay make for the perfect Caribbean escape. The views are simply spectacular. The accommodations are contemporary and very comfortable. Hibiscus Cottage offers a private experience perched on the leeward hillside. The local Bequia inhabitants are a cheerful and fun people eager to share their island home of which they are quite proud. There are plenty of restaurants and grocers so whether you eat out or dine in you will have many options from which to choose. Taxis are plentiful and relatively inexpensive so you do not need bother with auto rentals. Having visited Bequia many times and achieving notoriety as repeat visitors to Tropical Hideaway it is safe to say we will return ... again and again.

What a wonderful find. We stayed here for 9 days and had a wonderful time. The accomodation is immaculate and nothing has not been thought of. Martin and Julie are lovely and have thought long and hard as to what people want on holiday. Nothing was too much trouble and they are very knowledgable of things to do. Tropical Hideaway is well named !! Thats exactly what it is.The pool is beautiful, the views amazing and the company if you so desire is great.We travel extensively and this is probably one of the first places that ticks all the boxes.Nothing has not been thought about in great detail and thatis a rare find these days
Bequia is a beautiful island and the people are lovely. So laid back and easy going. There is as much or little as you want in terms of things to do. So my advice book quickly whilst you still can You won t be disappointed with a vist to Tropical Hideaway. We stayed in Hibiscus cottage but all the accomodation here is just as good .All the extra s ie collection and drop off to ferry, fridge full of food and drink and invites for rum punch all add to the wonderful experience Thanks Martin and Julie You got it so right

my wife and I and our 2 year old daughter stayed here for the second time recently. we know bequia well and after staying here we would struggle to be happy anywhere else. for our small group the hibiscus cottage was absolutely perfect. the facility is to a very high standard but without losing it caribbean authenticity. Martin and Julie are wonderful hosts and very accommodating and their enthusiasm for Bequia is contagious. Without a doubt this is the most amazing pool i have ever seen and over the course of the week we spent many relaxing hours in it. the cottage is very well equiped and it is very easy to settle in to living there. If i had to pick one criticism of the place it is that it is up a steep hill and tough to walk to from the beach however a cheap taxi ride u por down the hill is very easy to arrange and an easy compromise for the spectacular view. I should also add that we felt very safe in the hibiscus cottage.

Thank you, Martin & Julie for making our stay in your beautiful villa a memory we will cherish for a lifetime. The views are amazing, the grounds are a sanctuary, the accommodation is 5 star and the pool... well, day or night it is a most fabulous place. You have put such passion into the design and construction of this very special hideaway. We arrived as guests and left as friends. Thank you for all that you do!

A very peaceful place, tucked away on a hillside, with magnificent views of the harbour. We were the only guests, so it might be different when all 12 beds are taken. Attentive owners have done a superb job in creating the house and its separate self catering lodges. Collection from the ferry was welcome, as was finding a fridge stocked with food and drink to start us off. The infinity pool is outstanding and is the main feature. Having a hire car greatly eased access to and from the house.
