4 Star Tobago Hospitability: spacious & well maintained, in tropical garden setting.
Overall, we enjoyed our week's stay @ CJ Cottage. Joanne was on hand to greet and show us around. It is clean, spacious, well maintained with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, sitting area and a lovely large covered front porch. The grounds are lovingly maintained by Curtis, and the kids were entertained by CJ, the parrot. AC & TV in the bedrooms made for comfortable retreats. TV in the sitting area and good internet service throughout were very welcome. Decor was typically local; drapery hanging from doorways/stairs, while lovely, had to be rolled up as they were a visual hazard. Appliances were in good working order and clean. Supply of dishwashing and bath soap, toilet paper, paper towels was adequate...so too the supply of dishes and cutlery, but cooking utensils were a bit sparse but C&J supplied when asked. The children enjoyed the sight of chickens and goats in the neighbourhood. It made for a great island experience!
A few helpful notes...
-bath towels were limited to 6, with 2 hand towels in each bathroom. We asked for a mid week towel refresh, but good idea to schedule this on Day 1; it may not have been necessary had the washer been more readily available.
-schedule laundry with Joanne on Day 1. With a 9-mos old, the availability of a washer was essential.
-CJ Cottage is not signed (lack of signage is typical for Tobago) and is actually on Nelson Drive, although it has a Silk Cotton Drive address. Ask for Curtis & Johanne Orr instead of CJ Cottage.
-a walk to Crown point is doable, but a long way...we had a car, so this wasn't a problem.
-confirm your reservations through AirBnB or TripAdvisor to be guaranteed rates and amenities.
We were very happy with our stay and I would recommend it. Discerning international travellers may find the accommodation dated, but it is of a high standard for locals and our Caribbean and South American neighbours. It has all the local flavours!

Unforgettable Tobago experience
We had a great time staying with Curtis and Joanne. We are thankful they offered well organized and clean accommodations. The owners payed great attention to every detail during our short 5 nights stay and helped with advice and transportation around the island. Above all, we felt very secure and truly at home thanks to these wonderful people. We highly recommend this property for families travelling with children.

Comfortable
Overall, we enjoyed our short 2 night stay. There were 5 of us in total (including a 14 and 10 year old). Tony provided a very warm greeting and showed us around the rental. It is very clean and spacious, offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room and sitting area. All rooms had AC, which made sleeping pleasant. There are TVs in both bedrooms and the sitting area (which the kids appreciated). We were grateful for the basic foods in the fridge.
A few notes to be aware of...
-There is truly no Internet wifi available. A few people were able to get a 1 bar of signal, but you are basically standing on 1 foot in front of the door. This made web check in very frustrating.
-There were only 2 towels.
-Finding the house was a challenge. But this is a bit typical for Tobago as there are a lack of street signs.
-It is a long walk to Crown point...we had a car, so this wasn't a problem, but don't think you can stumble home.
Other than that, we were very happy with our stay and I would recommend it

False advertising
Owner Tony Curtis presented as an affable host and eased our arrival with airport pickup and taxiing for groceries and miscellaneous. His warm, open demeanor is appreciated by weary travelers but problems lie underneath and unsaid. He was not up front with a number of things. We were not warned that the initial drive-around was not free (much less what the rate was) - the final itemized taxiing bill was presented late on the last night. Basic condiments and equipment were not provided. No towels, salt, pepper, cooking oil and, worst of all, finding no extra toilet paper from a sitting position. Toilet paper, a single towel, salt and hot sauce were provided only when asked for.
Most glaringly is the false advertising of Wifi availability. It is on all websites advertising the place (yours included Tripadvisor). According to them "It's coming..." This meant more than a few half hour walks to the airport for free Wifi access. Potentially annoying was Tripadvisor and Tony's own websites’ mapping of the house's location being off by 2 to 5 blocks. We would not have found the place on our own on arrival especially given no direct address.
Another annoyance, was that an entry through large French doors to the living room was not provided. Instead, entry was through one of the bedrooms which caused a few awakenings from late night stragglers.
Furnishings are very basic, old and delicate. A dining room chair spontaneously broke while I sat still on it - it was ready to go for anyone. The owners demanded compensation which we grudgingly accepted (5 minutes before departure for our return flight) in a US$20 payout.
Finally, Tony is new in the guesthouse business so I will not begrudge him room to learn. But he must stop being defensive over any-and-all issues and be less self-promoting of his other car tour business. Provide a simple brochure with costs and options and let us decide. The house rental has the potential to be a successful venture if Tony accepts and reacts positively to criticism but for us four it left much to be desired.
