"Paradise
Date of Stay: February 2008
I now have been to Sunset Valley five times for no less than three weeks at a time. It is a beautiful property to rent with all the mod-cons you would require and the setting is out of this world,but it is the family that own the property that make you want to return.
From the first enquiry about renting to Rande, to your arrival being met by Pops, at the airport then a meal waiting in the fridge , made by Moms, ready for weary travellers the holiday can not go wrong.It is a beautiful island and the people are so kind.
I would recommend this stunning property to anyone who wants a quiet, peaceful and beautiful setting, a place to recharge your batteries from busy lives, surrounded by magnificent scenery and wild life, but not wanting a night life.
It is my idea of Paridise and now my carribean home.

"Romance in Paradise
Date of Stay: March 2008
My husband and I had the pleasure of spending our recent honeymoon at Sunset Valley Estate on Tobago. It was fantastic. I have traveled the world and I can honestly say that I have never stayed at a cleaner and better-maintained house than Sunset Valley. It was immaculately kept. Our laundry was done daily, beds were made daily, bathrooms cleaned daily and fresh linen on the fourth day. Wow. The views were breath taking, as well.
However, the best part of the trip wasn’t the wonderful villa or the fantastic views and gardens, but the warm hospitality of our hosts, Mom and Pop. Mom made sure everything was perfect and Pop acted as our local guide. It was so comforting to have them there. It was really like being home, but in paradise.
We can absolutely and without reservation highly recommend Sunset Valley to anyone looking for a rental villa in Tobago. It was much better than advertised and probably more than we hoped for. We will be back next year too!

"Great Holiday!
Date of Stay: October 2007
I have to say that my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Sunset Valley. The home, the view, and the surroundings were everything one would imagine their Caribbean vacation to be. One can appreciate the serene view, the feeling of being in the middle of the rain forest, and the simplicity that the home near Englishman’s Bay has to offer. I will be going back… .

"I have beautiful memories from my stay at Sunset Valley Estate. Visited: December 2005
Posted by saraellen412
My family and I have been back for a little over two weeks, but I still have a little buzz about our wonderful vacation in Tobago staying at Sunset Valley Estates.
From the moment we arrived, our hosts were just incredible to us. The only thing that could possibly beat their hospitality would be the beauty of their home and the view from the veranda.
We overlooked the tops of the rainforest onto the view of the Caribbean. We enjoyed beautiful breezes from the veranda, and there was plenty of seating and tables on the veranda for everyone to spread out and the birds flying back and forth.
On top of all that, we saw incredible rainbows. The rain would come and leave just as quickly! The pictures on the web site did not do the spot justice - neither did any of my pictures.
"Mom" made some meals for us, did our laundry each day (for five people) and worked the phones for us since our luggage was delayed. Our advice is to just take carry on luggage - you don't need much.
On Christmas Day, "Mom" and "Pops", Rande and Shauna invited us all for Christmas dinner - soup to nuts. That was not an easy thing in these parts. Pops took us on a rainforest hike - and he had more energy than any of us.
I cannot possibly say enough about how warmly we were treated, how peaceful the villa was, and how every single thing we could have wanted was taken care of. It was by far our best family vacation ever. I want to spend every Christmas the same way. This vacation was what memories are made of. We have asked ourselves more than once, "How did we get so lucky to find Sunset Valley Estates". You won't be disappointed.

"It was Heaven on earth. Visited: August 2006
Posted by nativesandiegan
I'd never been anywhere near Tobago before, so I went in knowing that I knew nothing. I'm only 26 years old, but I try to travel as often as possible. Because of this, I've been quite a few places, including Hawaii, many parts of Mexico, and yes, even to the luxurious slice of paradise known as Arkansas.
All joking aside, Tobago -- specifically where I stayed with Mom and Pop -- was by far the best place I've ever been. I struggle to see how it could possibly be surpassed.
It was Heaven on earth. I couldn't imagine a more gorgeous place to stay. It was so peaceful, so beautiful, and such nice people to be amongst. I honestly never wanted to leave. I'm just trying to figure out how I can make enough money to retire there in the next year or so.
The food prepared by Mom was absolutely delectable. The weather was perfect, and if ever it felt too hot, there was always their convenient pool to dive into.
The view had to be the best part, though it's hard to choose a best part when everything feels like a dream that you never want to wake from. The view was 360 degrees, green everywhere: plants, trees, we even saw a green frog. The view of the water was calming, we could see fishing boats go by every now and then.
Everywhere we looked, we could get lost in and stare for literally hours. There were hammocks around the deck if we felt like relaxing to a good book or taking a nap.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you're thinking about going, don't think any longer. It's something you'll never forget as long as you shall live. It's beauty that you've never laid eyes upon. It's serenity that you've never experienced. Bottom line: it's the best.
Thanks to Mom and Pop, two of the kindest, most genuine people I've ever had the privilege to meet. I hope to see the both of you again sometime in the not so distant future. If I can only be so lucky.

"Sunset Valley is our own slice of heaven! Visited: April 2007
Posted by krampearson1
Our stay at Sunset Valley Estate was pure paradise! We visited every corner of the island, and can vouch that there is no better place to stay on Tobago.
The villa was perched on a hilltop overlooking the ocean and on the edge of the rainforest. It was lush, secluded, and peaceful, and we could hear myriad birds singing throughout the day.
Moms and Pops, the proprieters, took excellent care of us - cleaning the kitchen; picking fresh fruit from the estate's trees; and even doing our laundry!
Traveling with a child made staying at the villa the perfect choice for us. We could make our own meals, enjoy our own private pool, and enjoy DVD movies from Moms and Pops' huge DVD collection. Pops taught us all about the local birds, and brought us to a secluded, "secret" beach where we enjoyed the sea all to ourselves!
It was easy for us to get out on day trips and enjoy the island. Also, many other tourists we ran into who stayed in Scarborough or Crown Point and were envious of our location and the privacy of the estate.
We couldn't have made a better choice in accommodation on this island. Don't miss the opportunity to stay here!

"We enjoyed a great holiday break at Sunset Valley Estate - Visited: October 2007
Posted by rayc_tobago
To save you trawling all through this review - I would whole heartedly recommend this place for a wonderfully relaxing holiday.
We booked this house for the first week of our two-week stay, and we booked a house in Bon Accord for the second week.
It was about an hour's drive (about 15 mile only, though) from the airport. Definitely take up the offer of being met at the airport, and guided home.
Our first thoughts were that the place was really good, but you must read the rest now.
This house sat atop a hill, and had stunning views for virtually 360 degrees. Just down the hill was Englishman's Bay - that was beautiful and deserted. Mom and Pop, who looked after the house, were truly lovely people and helped make our holiday a relaxing one.
I would suggest you accept their wonderful hospitality, otherwise you could waste a lot of the holiday looking for essentials to eat and drink - it really was an unspoiled part of the world.
The house had a veranda nearly all the way around the house, and we could choose to sit in the sun or in the shade. There was plenty of room. Of course, there was the pool (with outside toilet and separate shower room with plenty of fresh towels - always).
There was also a welcome breeze to keep you cool and keep mosquitoes at bay (we never saw one and we were here in the rainy season).
The rooms all had double doors on each side of the house that opened fully so every room became part of the great outside.
If you love city life, you will not like this place - or even Tobago to be honest. As you would imagine, three acres of grounds gives plenty of space -but be warned it is a little hilly.
Also, this is not a place for small children, but I believe that people are made fully aware of this before staying.
This brings me to our second week in Bon Accord and how it made me realize how good the Sunset Valley Estate was. When I came home, people asked if I would go back to Tobago, and I said "no". However, when I started to think back to this place, I changed my mind big time.
I have stayed in dozens of villas around the world, and I can honestly say that this is the only one I would return to. We have even thought how wonderful it would be to retire here. It is just so peaceful - and what a way to start and end the day with these views!
So, when I said at the beginning we thought it was really good - we have changed our view to say it was great!
The pictures really cannot do justice to the place. Mom, Pop, Stephanie and Rande (the owner) are all genuinely friendly, honest and reliable people.
The five stars are for the whole package of the house and surroundings. It is definitely recommended.
