Driftwood is a self contained Caribbean cottage set a few yards from Laborie's beautiful beach. It has everything you want for a relaxing holiday. Many of the features in the cottage originate from an original cottage that was located on the other side of Laborie Bay. It has a large open plan bedroom with a wonderfully comfortable antique queen size bed, a roomy sitting area, a large, sunny bathroom and a fully equipped separate kitchen. The large patio is a perfect place to have breakfast or chill drinking your Piton beer at the end of the day, watching village life on the beach. Driftwood offers everything you are looking for if you want to get a taste of real Caribbean life. Laborie is a unique fishing village.

We have some friendly, mature rescue dogs that live in our garden across the road from the cottage. They love meeting new people and getting a fuss from them!More
We have all stayed in 5* all-inclusive resorts, which are great but you could be anywhere in the world. By staying at Driftwood in Laborie, you are with the local people, in a small fishing village, with a real insight in to their way of...More
We arrived in the dark, so did not appreciate the area until the next day. Woke early - due to time difference and had a wonderful walk on the beach as the sun rose. Driftwood was very comfortable and has a great walk in shower...More
Imagine: a perfect crescent beach — a private 2-person cottage on landscaped grounds — a large open veranda next to a private plunge pool — local fresh food at rock-bottom prices — friendly people, no hustlers, no hassles. This is what Janet and Tony have...More
I don't really want to tell you all how fabulous this place is for fear of it becoming so popular it would have to be booked very far in advance! It has everything going for it. Great location right by fabulous beach. Owners living just...More

Hi Anne,
Thanks for the lovely review. We miss you a lot.
We were so glad we went here to enjoy the atmosphere of the ethnic fishing village and not the imported hospitality of the expensive imported resorts. We were able to interact with the local people and the hosts were most helpful and informative. The beach...More
This beautiful cottage is about 100 yards from the beach, surrounded by lush tropical foliage. Nicely appointed and thoughtfully decorated, one can immerse themselves in this beautiful setting and relax to the surf and local fauna - coqui frogs, the friendly rescue dogs, free ranging...More
Picking your honeymoon destination can be challenging to say the least. We stuck gold when we decided on The Driftwood. Not just because the cottage is beautiful, but also because Tony and Jan will go out of their way to make your stay memorable. Stay...More

Driftwood is a charming wooden cottage with an open plan bedroom with a shower room and bathroom area to the rear. A separate kitchen area is adjoined. To the front is a large porch/patio area which provides excellent space to relax. The cottage although not...More
We both loved the set up of the "cottage" with its lovely gardens and dining table under cover and looking over the garden. We had the sea in view and it was only 30 yards walk to the beach. Deck chairs were available free. Tony...More
The friendliness and beauty of this unspoilt village of Labourie envelopes you. It is matched by the laid back but efficient owners who live nearby but do not intrude.
We stayed in Driftwood which has a relaxing balcony (regularly visited by humming birds) that faces...More

Thanks for the lovely review John. Just for future guests you most definitely can see the sea from the porch. From one angle it is a little obscured when seated,by a palm, which I will thin out today. Thanks for pointing this out.
There are some lovely places to see and experience just on our doorstep. If you want to spoil yourselves, there are also some lovely 5 star hotels and restaurants a few miles up the road.
Just tell us what you would like to do and we will tell you the best places to go to have the most memorable holiday or honeymoon. There really is something for everyone on this wonderful island!
Getting around
We have a car that we hire at at a reasonable rate. However, if you wish to experience the local way of getting around, the mini buses are reliable, safe and very cheap.
