Renelle

Airbnb – September 2023

This home is very big and great for a family get together. Big rooms, great view of the sea, amazing pool and just behind an ice cream shop. Josanne and Katherine were great hosts. Joanne even changed our toaster when we told her it didn’t work. It’s location is really great, far enough to not be full of tourists but in walking distance of a lovely beach, two really nice restaurants (The Seahorse and Waves) and a little mini mini mart. The kitchen is big, it could have a few more things in it, but functional and very clean. Thanks again for a great stay! We even got to see the fireworks for New Year’s eve.

Airbnb – January 2023

My children and I visited Tobago from the US and together with my extended family, we stayed at the Cornerstone Villa. Josanne, the lady who greeted us on arrival, was accommodating and responded to our needs within a reasonable time. The location was perfect and having a pool was a plus. The view and the sounds of the ocean were welcoming and relaxing. The villa does show its age in some of the appliances, closets, and bathrooms. However, I/we were overall satisfied with our stay there.
