I took my wife to Trinidad for the first time and we can't wait to go back. First, about the Gingerbread House. We awoke to home made breakfast every morning, delicious island dishes (bake and salt fish, coconut water on one occasion) and they even sent the staff out one day because I just felt like having Frosted Flakes.
The place is beautiful. It is in the perfect location just out of town but still in town. We rented a car but you could take public transportation from about a 1 minute walk away. Also, we parked right on site with no problems. The owners work in a building right behind the house so even if there is a problem (there was never a problem) you can speak to them at any time.
The island is beautiful. We went to 3 beaches, a nature center and really had a great time. I recommend staying at this location to everyone who has thought about visiting Trinidad.
Side note, try the Palori (a sort of fried, curry flavored dough) with the dipping sauce. You will not regret it.
