Rarely have we been given such a warm welcome as we were here by Carol, the lovely hostess. As described, the accommodation itself was very idyllic on a hill above the town of Calibishie. From our balcony we could even see the Atlantic Ocean over the palm trees. The delicious homemade breakfast, which was served outside in the garden, was also successful. We'd love to come back!

The property was well kept and had everything we needed and then some. Carol Anne has thought of everything to make a guest stay pleasant, convenient and comfortable. The garden and gazebo are beautifully kept and manicured. Perfect for a scrumptious breakfast setting, which we received !! A healthy vegetarian breakfast with fresh local produce. Fresh bread, juices, tea and jam. The property is easy to find with brightly painted sign posts along the road. To go with Carol Ann and Nick’s welcome. We shall be returning !!

Grace's Romantic Cottage at the Jacoway Inn

Carol Ann was an amazing and charismatic host! She was extremely knowledgeable about the culture, environment, area, people, and best places to visit and eat. She could have her own podcast! We stayed in her historic 110-year-old Ti Kai Cottage, complete with a kitchen stocked with assorted teas, a parlor with reading materials (including a book "Still Standing" that details the history of the Ti Kais), a cozy room with mosquito netting surrounding the bed, a bathroom with a wonderfully warm shower, and all the mangos you can eat! Dominica is a small island with astounding ecological variety, a creative and resourceful population, and a myriad of experiences to savor and enjoy. This was my first trip to the Caribbean since my grandfather emigrated in 1907, and we will return!

Probably the best guest house in Callibishie

This is probably the best guest house to explore the Callibishie area. Cary Anne was an excellent host although sadly she was ill and wasn't around that much. Property was inland about 1km although the access road is passable for a hire car. The buildings and facilities are basic but very clean and serviceable - get used to ceiling fans because there is no air conditioning here - just the sound of the rainforest at night. The best breakfast we have had in Dominica was served outside in a gazebo. Booking was a little difficult as you couldn't pay though Hotels.com but the host direct - cards were being unresponsive and then eventually a completely different amount was charged compared to the invoice. Overall a very pleasant stay - thank you Cary Ann - hope you are better soon.

Beatiful getaway meets western expectations

What tremendous personalized service at such a beautiful. quiet, peaceful place! I only stayed here on the last night on the island as a tactical move to position myself close to the airport for the next morning. I was so impressed, that I am committed to returning to the island and make Jacoway my home base. The unit was so cute with views of rolling green hills giving way to the ocean and horizon. The breakfast was amazing. The owners, Canadian-raised Carol Ann and native Dominican, Niki served an American style breakfast sourced from their Dominica garden. I ate outside with a view of the garden which supplied my food. Breakfast started with a generous food dish. Niki delivered some chicken and bread for me for dinner. Carol Ann even offered to give me a ride to the airport in the morning, a service that is way above and beyond what you would expect from a hotel or bnb. I accepted this offer but insisted she be paid the equivalent of a taxi charge. Carol Ann is a wealth of local information. If you want to see all the beauty and sights of Dominica, your first step ought to be to inquire about availability here. Stay here and ask Carol Ann anything you want to know about the island. She will send you off to the best places. I definitely plan to return here.

In regard to always being fair, please note this review is only for the cottage & not the house as pictured for this add. I am sure the house property is nice. We booked the cottage as that was all that was available close to the airport, but we did not expect issues, but unfortunately, we were not pleased & very uncomfortable. This cottage felt like a pod converted into a tiny home. The makeshift windows had no screens & this caused major problems as due to not having AC, the place was boiling hot (owner had ceiling fans that did not provide relief from the heat in the daytime), the home was suffocating thus you had no other option but to open the windows or pass out. With that said, all of the bugs flew inside & the mosquitos bit us up really bad all over our body. It was a horrible ordeal & I am still covered with bite marks & soaking in aloe to try to remove the now blemishes all over my skin. I paid $180US for 2 nights & was not pleased & the owner even overbilled Expedia. Also, due to the tin roof construction, when it rained it caused an echo effect so it was so loud with every rain drop & ruined my sleep when it rained. There were other issues but I will leave that alone for the main concerns. We left the home clean as you should & we were thankful to go home. Pros-The owner's staff made delicious homemade pineapple juice for breakfast & the owner made great pineapple jam.The yard is beautiful by the house rental not the cottage,25-30 minute walk to close restaurant.

A perfect apartment with everything you need. A short walk to a sandy beach, shops, restaurants and bars.

Wonderful hospitality with a view!

Jacoway Inn was a cozy spot to spend a final night closer to the airport, but it would have been great to chill for longer in picturesque Calibishie. The unit is walkable to restaurants, bars, and beaches in town with a pretty view over the gardens towards the water. Carol Ann's hospitality and tasty breakfast made me feel like a long lost family member rather than a random traveler, and she helped set up an airport transfer. Very pleasant stay!

Exceeded our expectations :o

When we read all the reviews about this place we were slighlty sceptical; no place can be that good... After all those bloated expectations, it was always going to be hard to live up to them but we were still blown away by how amazing this place was and it was so much better than we imagined. The location is good (lets face it, you should have a car while on a holiday in Dominica) just a short drive from all the services one needs. Rooms are cozy and the garden is amazing. Breakfasts are out of this world! And we made a friend of the dog, Mr Wags. The best thing about the place however, is the owner! We absolutely fell in love with her. There is something special about her. Im fairly sure id be happy to sleep in a cardboard box if she was the owner and would make breakfasts :) If you are planning on visiting Dominica, there is no better place to stay than Jacoway Inn!
