am always intrigued by the names given to homes by their owners. The naming of a house is an old British custom, which began with the gentry naming their manors, halls, and castles. The custom gradually spread to the masses and everyday folk began naming their homes as well. Nowadays people name their homes from all kinds of inspirations and the Caribbean is no stranger to the affection of house naming. info@CaribbeanHotProperty.com

Welcome to our 9th edition - Our Guest Island is Montserrat, the ‘Emerald Isle’ which offers a glimpse of a past Caribbean. It’s certainly a hot destination for Volcanism, but there is so much more you will not be disappointed. In Antigua, at our Scott’s Hill location, we learn how to project manage the building of a pool for our renovation. Also in Antigua, on the former Crosbies Estate, we explore the recently finished renovation of a beautiful home named ‘Forget me Not’ that dates back to 1950. For sale in Anguilla is a great beachfront hotel villa complex; bargains are always available, especially now. In Dominica we follow a couple who bought land through a previous edition of the magazine and have since built a rustic bed and breakfast in the style of the Kalinago traditional hut known as a ‘Kai Pai’. We also look at Caribbean interior design with a European flavour from Hermien Kuis.
