Eric and Annie's little place is everything you could ask for. I stayed in the guestroom upstairs. It includes a refrigerator, widescreen television, sink, toaster oven and utensils. The rooms is comfortable (ceiling fan included) and immaculately clean. But why stay inside when there is a dream-like swimming pool on the porch attached to the house? On one side of... More

My husband and I are just back from a dream vacation that included Essence Guest House on Montserrat. The island of Montserrat is very interesting with the volcano, but there is so much more to the island. The first thing would be your host and hostess at Essence, Eric and Annie. These lovely people welcome you one of their homes,... More

Absolutely loved this place.Annie and Eric made our stay enjoyable, they arranged our pickup from and to the guesthouse. The guesthouse (apartment) was very relaxing, truly a home away from home minus the stresses of everyday living. The place is clean, and welcoming. We will be returning to Essence soon.

We stayed at Eric and Annie's second property, Greenhaven Cottage (http://www.greenhaven.ms) The cottage is simple and clean and a perfect home base for exploring Montserrat. We loved being up in the leafy green hills of the Woodlands, surrounded by birdsong and frog calls. Eric and Annie are charming hosts and will happily help you out with anything you might need...

When we booked our 6 day vacation at The Essence in February 2011, we didn't know what to expect. Usually, we would spend our vacation in a luxury all-inclusive resort in one of the Carribean islands. The Essence is so much better! We got full service from Annie and Eric on booking advice, flights, things to do etc. When we... More

When we arrived, Annie and Eric sat down with us and explained the best places to go and explore on our short visit. The apartment was beautfiul and... More
