The Horny Toad Guesthouse's Home Page

The Horny Toad is a deliberately small and distinctive guesthouse known for its congenial and unpretentious atmosphere. The original building is a former governor's house tastefully renovated into spacious, fully-equipped apartments. Each of the eight apartments is delightfully different, displaying a personality of its own. These two photos will enlarge if clicked and start you on a tour of our property. Our photo album provides smaller photos with links to a full description and larger photos so you can choose your own route through our website. It's fun, but it's not the same as being here, so check the rates and details page and make an online reservation so you can experience our little corner of paradise.

All this attention to detail brought the "Best Guesthouse" award from the reader's of the Daily Herald and the Fodor's Choice Award in 2007 and again in 2008. They called us the "island's best value". Even our guests have a few comments. We think you'll agree and we welcome the opportunity to prove it to you. We've even been mentioned in The Captain's Fund by Raina Wissing Harris, a writer who has stayed with us many times. It's a mystery novel about diamonds in St Maarten.
