Luxury private beachfront villa with spectacular views

Villa Vista is a home away from home. This Mediterranean styled villa overlooks the enchanting Hodges bay and is nestled amidst the windswept fauna of Point Dubique on the east coast of Dominica. As its name suggests, it is a house of panoramic views of the Atlantic ocean, Hodges river as well as the majestic Mountain ranges of Morne Trois Piton and Morn Diablotin. Atlantic breezes refresh and inspire making this villa ideal for relaxation. In addition to the captivating views, you will delight in the pleasant sounds of the seasurf, parrots, seagulls, pelicans as well as the soothing melodies of the revitalizing winds that bless the villa.

This picturesque Villa Vista comprises two floors, the top floor housing the master bedroom and spa facilities. The ground floor has one and a half bathrooms and two bedrooms: a Queen-sized and two twin beds fondly called the green and blue rooms respectively. The kitchen is self-contained and outfitted with you in mind, to continue that home away from home experience. It comes complete with refrigerator, microwave, stove with oven, coffeemaker, and toaster. The living room is cosy with its bed/couch and flat screened television to keep you entertained- you may view a selection of local and foreign channels or just gaze at the beautiful scenery from this comfort zone. Or you may wish to recline on one of the deckchairs on the open terrace, engage in yoga or just swim in the revitalizing negative edged pool or just enjoy a good rum punch as you bask in the pool while gazing at the enthralling vista. If you like keeping fit, there is an invigorating walk or run down to the beckoning beach where you can engage one of the fishermen in conversation or just sit quietly alongside the rolling river or join in the relaxing art of fishing.
If you visit during the full moon, the nights will become your days and your nirvana. The upstairs master bedroom houses a king-sized bamboo bed, a hot tub and a pristine view of the land and seascape. All this can be enjoyed while you take a soothing soak in the villa’s Jacuzzi.
Villa Vista was built with you in mind, wireless/wifi to keep you linked with the rest of the world should you wish to remember that there is such a place, as the villa has a magical effect on all who enter. The many pictures were specially chosen to have you experience through visual impact our West Indian culture. All of them are by West Indians artists- Derek Walcott, Bosco Holder, Earl Etienne, Shalini to name a few; and depict aspects of our culture- cricket, carnival, our native Amerindians- the Kalinago of Dominica and the Garifuna of Belize, as well as our local dances (Bele).
Villavista is private enough for you to forget the world outside yet public enough for you to remember that Dominica is there to be explored. It is only a 20 minute drive from the airport-Melville Hall and is in close proximity to other well established guest houses. In the village of Calibishe, you can find quaint houses and shops and delectable eateries, also a mini winery to satisfy you. Calibishe is a quiet fishing village with warm, friendly people only too happy to help you experience the experience of a home away from home. It is also the home of red rocks, which add to the scenic quality of Villa Vista as well as the views all along the coast of Calibishe.
Yes, VillaVista is a vacation home, breathtaking, inspirational and the place to be if you are vacationing in the nature isle of Domincia. Vini, Come, experience this villa of vistas, VillaVista.

Beautiful Location
Well maintained home with plenty of space. Sunrise and moonrises were spectacular. Decent grocery shopping in Calibishie but the best store we found was Savers Enterprise in Portsmouth. Safety & privacy were excellent. The house is sited in a way that no one can see and there is no other property "looking down" on you. Gweneth (mgr) told us the do's on dont's for safety at check in and Chris (owner) was very responsive to all inquiries.

Lovely home with beautiful vies
Vista Villa is a beautiful, clean home with a beautiful view. We were surprised that the house had a short trail down to a very safe, secluded beach in a swimmable bay. The house had a love pool and two decks to enjoy the view and the surroundings.

World Class View
Absolutely gorgeous villa just outside of Calibishie. We loved using the hot tub and the plunge pool. The villa is incredibly well designed and built. You have complete privacy. There are neighbors but you cannot see each other. Dominica is one of the most beautiful unspoiled places on the planet. But we found driving in Dominica difficult so we hired local guides from Calibishie and they were fabulous. Took us all over the island and allowed us to relax. Very memorable stay.

This was our families first time to Dominica and we didn’t know what to expect but from the minute we arrived at the villa we were blown away! The views from the villa are spectacular!!!!! With that beautiful sea breeze we didn’t need air conditioning! The rooms were excellent with enough bathrooms and toilets for the 5 of us no problem, Everything you need is in the kitchen from washing machine to microwave etc just fantastic! Chris the owner kept in touch from begging to end and Gweneth the villa manager was just wonderful nothing was to much we loved to just getting to know her and this beautiful island had are guide Nigel who became part of the family take us around who was absolutely brilliant 10/10 is not enough to describe the villa the people the Island would be back in a heart beat miss it all already.

Perfect house for the week
My family of 4 stayed here for Spring Break 2023 and loved it. This island is beautiful and the sunrise we saw every morning from our back deck was stunning. There was a constant wind throughout the house so none of the bug spray we brought was used! My 10 year old son hiked down to the bay the first morning all on his own without any issues. The closest “large” grocery is in Portsmouth about 35 min away so plan accordingly. Comfortable beds and a great place to come back to each day after exploring Dominica.

The access roads to Calibishe are dangerous (narrow and winding) and therefore it is not easy to circulate. But the place is beautifull and people are very nice.

Beautiful respite from exploring the island
Villa Vista far surpasses what you can envision in the pictures on the site. The views, the space, the breezes, the location are all phenomenal. Gwyneth checked us in and showed us around the property. There doors to the living space and the windows from the kitchen open open to allow breezes and amazing views. There is plenty of space for a family to spread out and have personal space. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and implements. Having 3 bathrooms is a bonus for a family. Chris made sure we had a cooler and beach chairs which I requested. We enjoyed our time in the pool and hot tub taking advantage of the views. We used the Villa as a home base to explore the island. We visited Batibou Beach, many of the falls, The Kalinago Village, Boiling Lake, Soufriere and Champagne Beach amongst other attractions. We definitely did not see everything we wanted to and hope to some day return before more people find out about Dominca! We cooked in most nights but did enjoy the food at Poz, Coral Reef, Keepin' it Real and Pagua. Poz was a favorite. Be sure to call for reservations. It is nearby but difficult to find in the dark. For those who have not been to the island before know that it takes a very long time to drive from point A to point B and driving is on the left. Driving can be exhausting and dangerous. We witnessed a large truck almost turn over navigating a curve directly in front of us. We rented are vehicle from Happy Rentals. Also in terms of planning for groceries you should know that the bulk of provisions are in Roseau. It takes quite a bit of effort to get there as it is on the opposite end of the island so plan accordingly. There are a couple of markets right in Calibishie to get a few things and we also liked the fresh fruit stands we found there. Yummy passion fruit and mango! We loved Villa Vista and sincerely wish we were still there. Till next time! PS. I am a big proponent of hooks! There are plenty of hooks in Villa Vista. There is always a need to hang clothes. jackets, towels. Hooks are a must! Also one more floor fan would have been helpful so there was one for each sleeping area.

Great location with great views Exactly as listed. Cool breeze keeps bedroom cool in the evening. Hot tub and pool are excellent. Great shower in master bedro is sooothing. Try out the Red Rock Cafe, the Chocolate Facorty and the Coral Reef Bar and Restaurant. Only negative for us is that there were no skillets or pans to cook with the house (or we could not find them).

Gotta live and see it to believe it
It was me and my family's first time on an island. We had stayed at a resort in the southeast side of Dominica. We enjoyed the amenities and food there. But this place's view blew everything out of the water. The constant ocean breeze encouraged us to leave windows and doors open. The neighborhood was very quiet and felt very safe. Chris helped us get a rental car quickly so we could get groceries, etc. If you want something more American food (such as frozen pizza, etc.), you might want to stock up in town first (Roseau). The near by A & A store has limited but sufficient supplies for your day-to-day. Remember to bring some bug spray if you're not used to an island environment. Bugs do come out at night time. Crickets will chirp loudly (seasonal?). Please also note that the property doesn't have AC (which is likely very common on an island). However, there's a constant ocean breeze that would keep the sleeping temp cool enough if you leave some doors and windows open. Lastly, Chris was very responsive to my questions during our stay, which made things easier for my family.

Lovely Base of Operation
Ditto to all the other reviews. We had a wonderful time at Villa Vista! It is the perfect place to use as a base of operation. We appreciated the availability of WIFI and smart TV when needed, although the best entertainment was that incredible view, pool, and hot tub. It was a great place to wake up and come home to! Chris and his wife are wonderful hosts - responsive to all questions and good with advice as needed. We love Calibishie, having stayed in this area 10 years ago. The A and A market is convenient and offers enough staples until you can get to the city. We enjoyed Blackbeard's Dairy with a tour from Lauren. All the goat milk products we bought were delicious! We also recommend Pointe-Baptiste Estates' chocolate. We enjoyed two meals at Poz - wonderful food, fun location, and good service (you need a reservation now due to Covid). Beyond Calibishie, we loved snorkeling with PH Whaling and canyoning with Extreme Dominica (be warned, it requires fitness and bravery), as well as our trips on our own with our rental car from Happy Car rentals. We had a special day with Jenner Robinson, who in addition to owning Happy Car rentals, provides great guided tours. We used him when we were here 10 years ago and enjoyed our time with him again. Growing up there, he knows the area well and shares lots of great stories about the island and its culture. He is also a great driver, which is much appreciated at on the curvy narrow roads. It was always great to come home to the comfort and beauty of Villa Vista. You won't regret staying here! We miss it already!

A view to end all views
This was a great home outside of a small village on the NE part of the island, 20 mins from the airport. Great for a family who wants to stick around the area or take day trips. The small pool was great for cooling off after hikes, nice to have hot tub, and the views were, you know, spectacular. There were two restaurants open - Poz very close by and Coral Reef, everything else is pretty much closed. Things change quickly though. If you’re planning on cooking, bring basic spices and other kitchen essentials. All the posts and pans you need are there. Ask Gweneth about getting meals from Valerie in town. Check out Nigel as a tour guide. Find Amy in Caibishe for hiking along the ridges, Lauren and Blackbeard’s Dairy for goat cheese, Jenn for bread. You get the picture. Get over to Keeping it Real in Toucari Bat for snorkeling and great food. Nigel can connect you to all. I can see why so many ex pats n the area have made their homes here. Enjoy.
