Room by Room
The elegantly-styled ensuite ground-floor bedroom has a king-size bed with a firm but extremely comfortable mattress, well-equipped kitchenette with sink and mini-fridge/freezer, and two wardrobes; one with full-length hanging space, one with drawers. A large picture window overlooks the tropical vegetation. The air-conditioning is effective and whisper-quiet and a top-of-the-range ceiling fan over the bed is remote controlled and silent. Directly outside the front door is a dedicated parking space suitable for a rental car or golf cart.

A short concrete path leads to the elevated wooden pool deck. Here you will find an outdoor shower and two adjustable sun loungers with beach umbrella and large shade sail, when needed.
Steps lead down into your private crystal-clear saltwater pool, which is 6ft deep on one side for swimming and floating in pool chairs, and 3ft deep on the other. The shallow side is designed for socialising, with two bar stools and a generous L-shaped conversation ledge. A wide stone pool edge accommodates cocktails, snacks and books.
The pool temperature rarely drops below 80F and rises to the upper 90s in summer when the sun is on the water all day. A colour-changing pool light and flickering tiki torchiere make for groovy night swims.
Adjacent to the pool at ground level is a covered and tiled patio with a built-in table and chairs, as well as two hanging hammock chairs, perfect for reading and napping. Consider this your outdoor living and dining room. Decorative concrete breeze blocks allow the Caribbean zephyrs to waft over you.
After dark, step down into the sheltered, white sand Tiki Grotto, furnished with teak clamshell chairs, sea grape log side tables, and flaming torches. At night, the surrounding palm trees and tropical foliage are dramatically illuminated to maximise the tropical vibe.
This property is self catering. There are security cameras on the exterior of the building. Pool may be cleaned during your stay.
The Surrounding Area
The Tiki Toucan Tropical Suite + Private Pool is located down a quiet, sandy cul-de-sac just off the main road, one mile north of the air strip and three miles north of Placencia village with its famously long and skinny sidewalk, picturesque shops, restaurants and bars. Seine Bight village is a mile to the north and has a large, modern grocery store and great street food.
The Tiki Toucan’s neighbours include a handful of private houses and The Flying Pig Bar & Grill. The bar is open only from 4-10pm Monday to Friday and closed on the weekends.
The bar's owner, Patrick, offers a short Mexican menu of bargain tacos, nachos, quesadillas, and burritos to a largely expat crowd and there is a host of different nightly activities: shuffleboard, darts, pool, music trivia, and karaoke (on Fridays). Full disclosure: the bar is close to the property but is generally pretty quiet (except during karaoke!).
Also in walking distance is Hobbs Brew Barge, a shaded, anchored vessel, a third of a mile south on the lagoon side, which serves a nice selection of craft beer, cocktails and food throughout the day.
Renting a golf cart or bicycles is highly recommended for fully exploring everything this vibrant peninsula has to offer.
Resident (but timid) wildlife includes grey foxes, coatimundis and agoutis and a splendid selection of tropical birds enjoying the lush garden. You might meet one of the three pampered community cats - Candy, Smokey, and The Bandit.
