You’re watching the sun set from the huge veranda of a house on the Caribbean island of Nevis. It’s a large, cool and airy home, full of old colonial furniture. There are limes, grapefruits and coconuts to pick in the garden. Beautiful, isolated beaches are just a few steps away. And the best bit? It’s free. As long as you don’t mind the owners taking a holiday in your home at the same time.
