Based on the reviews, we were expecting something better than we got. This is a reasonably clean but older property. As noted, planes take off right over the hotel, starting around 8am for the smaller flights, and the louder/bigger planes take off later. The neighbor hood seemed OK, but it's near the airport so it's not overly nice. On the... more

The Horny Toad Guest House & Betty as your host is wonderful!!! My boyfriend and I stayed at here from April 5-12 under not so good circumstances (family funeral) but the place was perfect even under our circumstances. The water on Simpson Bay where it is located has got to be the most spectacular water i have ever seen in... more

We recently returned after a 10-day stay on the island. Initially, we only intended to stay a few nights at the Horny Toad, we then planned to move to the French side of the island. After a few days, we decided we enjoyed our host, our accommodations and the location so much; we would rather spend our entire vacation at... more

Let us start off by saying this place isn't for everyone. The unit did not have a TV or a radio so if you like that stuff then you will be out of luck. The units do have a full kitchen so that is great (plus the owner will make sure to stock your fridge before you get there). You... more

We just got back from the best seven days we've ever spent on a beach. The accommodations were better than perfect, if that's possible. Without a doubt, the CLEANEST place we've ever stayed at. Also, by far, they are the most friendly people to deal with that we've ever come in contact with. If you want nightlife and activities on... more

What a lovely place to stay. I was worried about the location being so close to the airport and the 1st morning we did hear planes early in the am but after the 1st day they were not even noticable. We liked the location because it was close to good restaurants, watersports and beaches. In general, we found activities on... more

The Horny Toad is the perfect destination for people who like quiet, clean, unpretentious accomodations. Betty and her staff take excellent care of you, and are ready with suggestions, hints and directions to the best places on the island. Our expectations were met and exceeded on every level. Truly a unique experience, and one which we hope to repeat again... more

I wish I could pick up the Horny Toad and transplant it to all the other Caribbean islands I'd like to visit. I visited Dec. 9-17, 2004. The Horny Toad may not be luxurious, but it's VERY clean and VERY comfortable. And everyone there, especially the owner, Betty Vaughn, is very helpful. She has a lot of information based on... more

Forget about those large condo/timeshare resorts. The Horny Toad Guesthouse is the place to stay if you really want to relax. We stayed on the second floor with a wonderful oceanfront view of Simpson Bay. A portable air conditioner was offered to us, but with the ceiling fan and the Carribean breeze , there was absolutely no need to use... more
