Stay Green! Save Green!!

A stay at SunDog House not only reduces the environmental impact of your Caribbean vacation, it can save you money! 

A complete private solar-powered villa with pool for as little as $100 a night per couple.

Canine Companions!

Sun Dog House comes complete with canine companions! At your discretion, of course. Rescued Cruzan “Coconut Retrievers” live here and await your company. Keep them at a distance in the fenced back yard and they’ll provide excellent security. If you prefer closer canine companionship, we’ll open the gate, allowing them in the front courtyard and patio.

Nearly Nothing New...

... under the Sun

SunDog House was not originally a ‘green’ house. We took an ordinary Caribbean home and made it into a model of sustainable accommodation.

Electricity and hot water are all provided by the sun. Most furnishings are recycled “Funky yet Functional”! Wherever possible we’ve provided earth-friendly amenities, like organic cotton bedding, organic bamboo towels, organic hemp rugs,  recycled or recyclable consumables. Even your morning cup of coffee is 100% organic and fair trade.

SunDog House Amenities

SunDog House has 3 bedrooms with queen beds, featuring organic cotton bedding. Each bedroom has a private bathroom with 100% organic bamboo towels. The indoor common room is furnished with gently used "Funky yet Functional" recycled furnishings, an ideal area for sitting indoors playing games, reading, watching movies, and casual dining.

The windward (east-facing) side features an open porch/terrace, sunny in the morning, breezy and comfortable throughout the day with a hammock and lounging chairs and tables.

The western, leeward, side gets the afternoon sun. The dipping pool and surrounding deck with lounge chairs are perfect for sunning, napping, or floating the day away. There is ample covered porch here, if you've had enough sun.

SunDog House is powered by the Caribbean sun!  Electricity sufficient for the whole house is generated by a 2.4Kw photo-voltaic (PV) array, linked to the grid, with a battery back-up. Clean, quiet, efficient, natural. You'll never be without power and you won't be bothered by a noisy generator. All our water is solar-heated as well.

Laundry facilities include water-saver front loader and conveniently located clotheslines and clothespins - our solar-wind dryer ;-)

All Creatures...

... Great and Small.

Lizards and an occasional spider are allowed free reign inside and out, to eat mosquitoes and other pesky bugs. Bright yellow Bananaquit (Sugar-birds) and darting hummingbirds feed regularly outside the kitchen window.

Not only solar-powered...

...but greener than that.

We are concerned about our watershed, the Great Pond Bay, so no pesticides are used to keep crawly critters out. We just keep it clean! And we ask that you also help in this respect. You can help keep pests at a minimum by keeping food tightly wrapped, in the fridge, and by wiping up spills as soon as possible.
