tranquillity@grenadines.net Villa/Yacht Combination Package? A taste of island life in a living island museum ... Located on a prominent point overlooking the village of Windward, Petite Martinique and The Grenadines This wonderful piece of history and local island culture was a school until 1958 when Linton Rigg, who founded Carriacou's Annual Regatta Festival among other things, renovated it into his home where he lived until his death on 21 February 1976. |
 |
The home sits on a small bluff just as you
descend into the Village of
Windward. Island buses stop at the front gate allowing for easy connections
to all points for about US$1 per trip. Daily maid service is included.
There is also "Durrant" the house's young handyman who will be your local
contact to get the fisherman to drop off their catch of fresh fish, lambi
and lobster. As you enter the gate, you'll notice the assortment of
colourful trees and
shrubs everywhere: Frangipani, Flamboyant, Banana, Bougainvillea, a very rare
Sand Box Tree, Palms, Crotons, Oleander, Citrus. First you'll come to the 30' Deck that wraps around the house. There are eight 32" white pillars that are duplicates of the originals which now are located on the edge of the property. |
| On a clear day you can see as far as
St. Vincent. The Southern Grenadines are so close that you can see why a
seafarer like Linton Rigg chose this spot to spend his final years. From the porch you enter the Great Room. Most of the furniture and furnishings are of mahogany and remain as an example of Linton Rigg's craftsmanship. The bookshelf is full of his favourites as well as other memorabilia. There is a large dining table under the vaulted ceiling as well as a day bed for leisurely relaxing. |
