Hummingbird 2 Apartment

Hummingbird 2 is a newly renovated one bedroom apartment (formerly Pelican) which adjoins Hummingbird 1 and is located on the west side of the house with panoramic views of the beach and the whole of Castara Bay.  It is surrounded by lush, tropical gardens with a covered pagoda only a few steps away looking west through the old mango trees to the Caribbean and the setting sun. 

From April 2008, it will be possible for two couples or a family to rent both apartments.  When the wooden dividing wall between the apartments is retracted, it will have a spacious 32 foot terrace that spans the whole front of this accommodation with comfortable seating and dining options.  It is perfect for those who appreciate privacy within a shared environment and two en suite shower rooms.

In August 2007, we took the opportunity to install a swish new shower room and a spacious fitted wardrobe in Hummingbird 2.  In March, we will be creating a new bedroom and extended covered deck area with a well equipped neat new kitchen with cooker, full-size fridge freezer and hardwood cupboards built by local craftsmen.  New hardwood windows and entrance will complete the picture with everything built to the same high standards and attention to detail as in Hummingbird 1. As with all the accommodations there is an iron, ironing board,  hair dryer, security safe, and ventilation fan.

Hummingbird 2 is a little smaller than 1 and the main difference is that it does not have a private outside terrace, but does have easy access to the covered pagoda just a few steps away for enjoying the setting sun and the westerly view over the Caribbean.  The covered terrace is a good size 16’ x 12’ plus a 12’ x 4’ area in which we have created the kitchen.  All in all there is a spacious 16’ x 16’ open plan terrace room for cooking, dining, relaxing and limin’ with comfortable chairs, a hardwood coffee table and full size hammock – all with views to the beach and bay.

Manta rays can regularly be seen in the ocean below and hummingbirds arrive every few minutes to feed on the Ornamental Bananas and colourful flowers. Bananaquits have even nested in the candle holders that we provide for each accommodation!

The whole area, including the terrace, is illuminated by spotlights with dimmer controls, which are perfect for creating soft low lighting for a romantic atmosphere, with the added benefit of avoiding the tropical insects that are attracted by bright light.
