Reviews of Veranda View Guesthouse

We had a great stay at Veranda View. Hermine is great to talk to! The location is wonderful, we didn't swim, however it was an easy walk to the store for basics and restaurants and bars (we loved Unique Seaview Restaurant). There was a rooster crowing from 2 am on but who knows, maybe it'll be in the pot by the time others stay! Calibishie was a great place to stay as a home base, easy drives (minus the numerous potholes and narrow roads) to #1 Beach, Batibou Bay, Baw Nef Falls, Chaudiere Pool, Morne Diablotins hike. Bonus being close to the airport! Also of note, the windows are not glass, just bars and shutters, so you have to use the mosquito netting at night to keep bugs off of you. It cools off enough that it is comfortable at night (we were there in March). Also there is a warm shower hallelujah!

Great location right on the waterfront, several restaurants in walking distance, charming village. Authentic Caribbean flair.

It’s true that you fall asleep to the sound of the waves, but you also wake up from the neighbor’s three roosters at 4:30am. On Saturday night the neighboring bar has a DJ playing Dancehall until 1:30am. The place has no windows. Definitely bring ear plugs. At the time of our stay water pressure in the upstairs units was minimal.

The setting and the view from the veranda is wonderful.

What is not to like?

Superb location right on the seafront. You couldn't get any closer to the sea without being jn it! Owner Hermien is friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Calabishie is a lovely village with plenty of eateries, some small grocery stores and an ATM. Friendly and laid back vibe.

Nothing to dislike here.

The location is fantastic. Literally right on the ocean with lovely verandas to take in the amazing views. No breakfast but places to dine a few steps away.

The pillows on the bed we're the worst I've ever slept on. Felt like concrete.

The view of the ocean was amazing! Our room was the largest and very pleasant. We were very close to all the restaurants in town and a small grocery store. It was very pleasant.

The pillows were a bit hard.

This place is located directly on the waterfront, with great views of the sea. It also has nice restaurant next door.

Not sure there could be much to improve.

friendly, quiet, homely The lady who owns the place was very helpful and friendly. The room was spacious and comfortable. It was nice and quiet considering the main road ran past it. The town is small and friendly as well.

Hermien has an amazing property. It is so beautiful and she is a vital part of the community. This is a must stay when traveling thru Dominica

Very friendly and helpful owner. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. No airconditioning, but a fan and the sea breeze do the trick. There's a mosquito net, which will protect you from the hungry bugs. From the terrace you overlook the beautiful northern coast.

The constant sound of the nearby ocean. We slept very well.

We wished that the Chinese airport construction trucks would at least take a break on the weekends.

I loved the colors, the cozy atmosphere, the friendly owner, and most of all the stunning view.

The only thing was that there were a lot of mosquitos in our room at night. She had a bug zapper that was fun to use and a mosquito net over the bed, but a fan closer to the bed would have helped to shoo the bugs away.

Wonderful open air veranda right on the water with exquisite views of the ocean! Room and bed were perfectly comfortable, decorated with the owner’s lovely original artwork! Little kitchen set up (I only made instant coffee) Easy walk to a few good waterfront restaurant options in Calibishie. Chaise lounges on deck for sunbathing or stargazing at night. Very friendly host. 3 sweet dogs to pet if you’re missing yours at home! I will definitely go back next time I go to Dominica!

Can’t think of anything.

Beautiful location! Very friendly and helpful.

Right on the ocean's edge with sound of waves and ocean breezes to sleep by.

Hermien was a wonderful host. The guest house is in a perfect location, the ocean views, sounds and breezes were amazing. We had a private veranda overlooking the ocean, the room was spacious and complete with kitchenette and private bath. Also close to restaurants and mini grocery store for supplies. Hermien gave us so much information about the town of Calibishie and the island at large, and was so helpful contacting Wendy with Untouchable Tours to set us up for several great excursions.

Right on the ocean with nice views. spacious room. walking distance to restaurants. nice shower. close to local attractions.

cigarette smoke wafting into room. “toiletries” was just one piece of soap (no shampoo). coffee maker available but coffee not provided. street noise. holes in mosquito netting.

Felt immediately at home in this beautifully-decorated and very comfortable small guest house with its fabulous location, right on the beach in Calibishie. There was everything I needed for my short stay, and more. Falling asleep to the sound of the Atlantic Ocean every night was wonderful, as was relaxing on the lovely verandah. Owner Hermien’s colourful artwork and carefully-chosen details make this a special haven and she is so friendly and helpful, even giving me a lift to the airport. The guest house is moments’ walk away from a shop and local restaurants. The bus will drop you right outside and you’re just a short distance on foot or by bus from beautiful local beaches and local attractions including Red Rocks and the Pointe Baptiste Chocolate Factory. A magical place to unwind - I just wish I could’ve stayed longer.

Nothing.
