Enjoy Luxury Vacation Rentals in Tobago, a Rare Gem in the Caribbean
December 22, 2006. We love staying at Caribbean vacation rentals for the great weather and the relaxed island ambience. So many great resort towns and communities have evolved to serve the needs of vacationers, offering everything from restaurants and bars to shopping to golf and other activities. Some travelers, however, come to the Caribbean in search of tropical rain forests and coral reefs – two amenities which have existed before the travel and tourism industry was developed.
Josh Roberts' USA TODAY column on Tobago, a Caribbean island with plenty of both natural attractions, makes a great case for visiting this often-overlooked island.
"For more than 200 years, the island's tropical rainforest has been legally protected from human interference. That's allowed more than 210 species of birds, 23 types of butterflies, 16 lizards and even some fish-eating bats to thrive."
Roberts recommends taking a guided tour to enjoy the local flora and fauna to their fullest. Argyle Falls should also be on every visitor's to-see list, he wrote.
We recommend staying in a Tobago luxury vacation rental to bring you even closer to the island's charm. The homes listed on VacationRental.org lie within walking distance of the beach and one, the Jemas Guesthouse, is just a short hike away from a waterfall.
