we have just returned from 4 fantastic weeks at oceanview and have to say it really is a little piece of paradise on earth. The host's, Caroline and Frank treated us like part of the family and were a wealth of knowledge about Dominica. The apartments are really lovely, spacious and well equipped and all have there own veranda's and beautiful views of the garden's which are full of fruit tree's, bird's and butterflies. Frank is only too happy to give a tour of his treasured garden which he planted and nurtured from scratch himself. The view of the ocean itself from the stone steps in the corner of the garden is so beautiful with the atlantic on one side and the caribbean sea on the other. We spent many a happy hour here, watching the turtle's swim below and chatting to Caroline and Frank and the other guests. Our host's took us on many trips around the island and it would be hard to pick a favourite but the soufriere sulphur springs, Screw's, the emerald pool, victoria falls and the incredible boiling lake are all complete 'must see's'. All in all it's no wonder that when people are at Oceanview they never want to leave! We can't wait to return in october 2011, thanks Caroline and Frank, we will be back for sure.

Oceanview is perfect for anyone looking for functional, comfortable, modest accommodations, personable and friendly hosts, and a chance to meet local Dominicans and learn something about who they are and how they live. Caroline, her staff and her friends are friendly, generous, and remarkable people. The grounds are well-landscaped and full of flowers and fruit trees (from which Caroline makes her divine hand-squeezed juice, which she delivered to us each morning for tea. (The best juice you've ever hard!) There's a great view of the Atlantic Ocean, Martinique and St. Lucia - and it's an easy walk to Scotts Head and snorkeling. We had the best time there and will always remember Caroline and her place. If we ever come back to Dominica, we'll be staying at Oceanview. In the meantime, we'll be recommending it to all of our friends. Thank you for everything, Caroline!

I absolutely loved this place, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who wants to really learn something about Dominica. I made great friends there, and Caroline is the best- She's a great source of information about Dominica, its history, and places to go on the island. She's also wonderful to chat with and greeted us as friends, which created memories we will never forget. She is involved in her community, and hired staff from the local population of Scott's Head- everyone was very friendly and fun to meet, everyone had great stories, and I had one of the best weeks of my life there on Scott's Head. I made friends there, met some Dominican people and visited their home. It was an unforgettable week.

If you really want to learn about Dominica, you must talk to its people, and there are real Dominicans at Oceanview Apartments. If you are an outgoing, adventurous, open-minded person, this place is the place for you. It's a place to learn about culture and make friends while doing it. It's a place where memories are made, and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants an authentic Caribbean experience.

Our family just returned from 12 days in Dominica. We had selected to stay at the Galion-on-Sea, a stand-alone cottage which is managed by Caroline Charles of Oceanview Apartments. When we arrived we found major construction on the new sea wall just in front of the cottage. Caroline suggested that we might perfer to stay at Oceanview, which we did until the weekend when the construction halted. Although we loved the rustic cottage with its patio overlooking the national marine park, we did miss the fresh juices and fresh fruit which Caroline and her staff provided. In both locations we were able to walk to local restaurants in the village of Scotts Head and Soufiere. Everyone we met were friendly and extremely helpful.
