Fodor's Expert Review Picard Beach Cottages

These locally owned bungalows—amid lovely gardens on the 6-acre grounds of a one-time coconut plantation—are just steps from Dominica's longest gray-sand beach. The one-bedroom cottages can accommodate up to three people and have a kitchenette, living-dining area, and verandah. You'll find eco-friendly amenities like solar-heated water, too. Mosquito nets and insect repellent are complimentary.
