Self-Catering Accommodations in Saint Joseph

I had a blast staying at Maracas Gardens during Carnival, and if you’re looking for a cozy retreat just outside Port of Spain (about 30 to 45 minutes from the city center), this is your perfect haven. Arlene, the owner, is a total gem—so kind, so welcoming, and absolutely determined to make sure you feel at home. Her family is equally as warm. Whether you’re a Carnival goer or just seeking a peaceful Trinidad escape, this place is perfect—especially with its own private pool. When I ran into costume mishaps or transportation hiccups, Arlene was right there helping me troubleshoot — even when it wasn’t her responsibility. Arlene also by created special breakfast options, tailored to my dietary preferences. If you want a blend of Carnival magic, serene vibes, and a family that feels like friends, book Maracas Gardens. We will always stay in touch with Arlene and her family—they have truly become like lifelong friends to us.

Great service Clean neat space

Being from WV of the USA and my first time in Trinadad, I was not sure what to expect at the Traum House. I was pleasantly surprised with an Island Paradise. The room was clean, I had a private bathroom, a fridge in my room, and Netflix. The common room was a shared kitchen with plenty of ice. Oh the room was as cold as you like it with a top notch wall a/c unit rated #1 on Amazon. The pool was so serene with so many beautiful orange flowers surrounding the crystal clean water, an outdoor shower and bathroom, and a gazebo area with hammock, barbeque grill, and plenty of chairs and tables. There was an interesting library of books and historic artifacts in the common area. I felt safe within the gated area and it was right in the heart of the real Trinadad. It was in walking distance to markets and pizza. I did decide to get a Papa John's pizza and Subway because I missed USA food and it tastes exactly the same. If you want to hop on a clean bus 3 blocks away and go anywhere, this is the ticket. Oh my girl Monisha and my Dr Ros the owner were on site and helped us out every day with travel plans and my requests were on point. He even put in handicap bar in shower the minute I mentioned it was a good idea for me. Blessed to have been at the Traum House. Thankful for the help and friendliness away from home. It was hot but not humid and the breeze was nice. It was bustling in and around town. This is the best pick for comfort and seeing the real Trinadad.

Spacious Well kept Great host Good location Affordable

Our stay was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The host was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and thoughtful—providing clear instructions for check-in and even sharing helpful local recommendations that made our trip even more enjoyable. The space itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as pictured—if not better. Every detail seemed carefully considered, from the comfortable bedding to the well-equipped kitchen and the little touches like fresh towels, toiletries. It truly felt like a home away from home. One of the highlights was how peaceful and relaxing the environment was. Whether enjoying a morning coffee or unwinding in the evening, the atmosphere made it easy to recharge and fully enjoy our stay. The location was also ideal—conveniently close to everything we needed while still feeling private and quiet. Overall, this was one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve ever had. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and a top-tier hosting experience.

I had an amazing stay at Stewart Apt in Trinidad! The location is incredibly convenient, just a short distance from the airport, which made traveling a breeze. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The comfortable bedding made it easy to relax after a long day, and the living area was perfect for unwinding. The TV setup was great, making it easy to enjoy some downtime. The host was lovely—very welcoming and attentive, which made the experience even better. I appreciated the proximity to the two malls in Trincity, offering plenty of dining and shopping options. The apartment had all the amenities I needed, including a full kitchen, laundry facilities, and a dryer. The bathroom was clean and modern, and the air conditioning in all rooms kept the apartment cool and comfortable. Overall, Stewart Apt was a fantastic place to stay, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Trinidad!
