Gros Islet, Saint Lucia
A 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom beachfront villa. Close to other beaches, restaurants, golf course, shopping and nightlife. Wake up to the chirping of tropical birds, enjoy coffee on the front porch as you watch the sail boats go by, have afternoon cocktails in the hammock as you capture the amazing sunsets and go to sleep to the sounds of the gentle surfs of the ocean. A fully equipped kitchen for small and large gatherings. Tours to various attractions and car rental can be arranged upon request. A truly relaxing place in the sun to enjoy your Caribbean dream vacation.
Please note that we make one bedroom available per couple. Starting with the master suites.
Property is beautiful with access to a private beach. The location is quiet and private. Great place to relax. Must get a massage from Ester while you stay.
The proximity to the ocean and great deck made our stay memorable.
First,, the home is incredible. The views are amazing, the neighborhood is secluded, the local beach scene is beautiful, cool, and authentic (or is upscale if you visit the resort beaches that are walking distance), and Pigeon Island National Park is a local gem with great beaches, interesting hikes, and history. But this trip was not perfect.. there was a mistake either the booking so the host was not aware we were arriving until just hours before arrival. The home was being painted. Marie found us a place to stay nearby, revised her renovation schedule, had the home cleaned and prepped, and by 10:00 am the next morning we were at the home. Sometimes the truly great hosts are defined best when the unexpected happens. Marie took care of us. And I cannot leave a review without commenting on the house hosts - Esther and Cyrus, who went the extra mile to prep the home on short notice for our arrival. We LOVED our stay in Gros Islet and cannot wait to visit again!
This was a much needed holiday for myself and two friends. We hadn't had the chance to travel together since BC. I decided against a hotel and so happy I found this home on VRBO. It was a perfect fit for us. We all had our own rooms and bathrooms each in a different corner of the house. The kitchen is large and well stocked with cooking implements. The living room, albeit a bit warm, is large and has a huge TV for movie night. We had a vehicle so was easy to get around and out and about. The bedrooms are good sized and had comfortable beds and bedding. Each bedroom had its own a/c unit that cooled the rooms quite nicely. The living room did get warm-ish, but well, it is a tropical location so that is to be expected. With the doors open and a fan it was fine. We LOVED the porch off the living room for morning coffee and evening bevvies and sunset watching...perfect spot for spectacular sunsets. The property is facing the ocean and here are some nice loungers further down towards the water. There really isn't a beach per se, but the water is accessible and was nice for an afternoon dip. If you have a car, it's easy to access the shops in the Gros Islet area as well as driving into Castries. We had an excursion to a rum distillery. Highly recommend that for some free flowing rum tasting. If you have never traveled to a tropical location, prepare yourself! Anyway, I highly recommend this location. Marie is very accommodating with questions and Cyrus, the onsite caretaker is helpful and kind.
The views of the ocean from the property and the sunsets were amazing plus having your own private beach which we used every day was awesome! If you want to go to a nice sandy beach it's only a 15 minute walk away. Cyrus the care taker was great, answering all of our questions and helping us with any situations that occurred, even being our own personal tour guide at times. We loved this property and would certainly stay here again. By the end of the week I even got used to driving on the opposite side of the road and the crazy narrow hilly roads.
Lovely house, just falls short in a number of areas: Bifold Doors don't all open very well. Some window shutters won't open (painted over?) Oven not working Shortage of kitchen utensils, bowls etc Ceiling fans & A/C in 3 of 4 bedrroms, but no A/C in bed 3. No A/C or fans in main living area, making this room very hot at all times. Almost unuseable for us. Some external trip hazards - metal handles on covers outside front door and on patio. Glass table top on low table in living area has quite sharp corners that protrude over the table itself so they're not easy to see. Resulting in one or two grazed legs. Shower heads not in great condition. Some lights not working and very few bedside lights in whole property. Generally a lot of lighting was either too harsh (i.e. patio) or too dim (bathrooms). We reverted to candles on the patio every evening. Stone paving steps down the garden to the sea unstable. No basic instructions or local info available at the property. In fairness, some of these issues may be related to Covid precautions, and we could have approached Cyrus the caretaker regaridng some, but they didn't all impact our stay too much. Cyrus was always very helpful when we did speak to him. Beautiful views from the large patio and magnificanet sunsets every evening. But we all felt it could be much more with some attention to detail.
We were seeking a quiet place on the ocean away from distractions where my wife and I could have privacy and unwind. We stayed in the villa and could not have been more pleased. Lots of room, great kitchen, and Marie the owner was very responsive. Cyrus the on site manager was always there to help, did not bother us at all , and was simply amazing. If we have the occasion to return to St Lucia, we will be staying there again.
The only problems were no hot water in the morning and ants which we brought home in bags.
The Villa is beautiful and the views are amazing! Both Cyrus (the caretaker) and Cyrus (transportation) we’re so very helpful. The food prepared for us upon our arrival was wonderful and plentiful. I highly recommend staying here.
I definitely recommend this place? It is exactly what you see in the pictures. We love that it was at a quiet part of the island and we had much privacy. Cyrus, the host, was AMAZING! We stayed just as the COVID 19 crisis hit, and Cyrus and Marie kept us up to date on closures around us. We wanted to stay longer, but unfortunately the airport was about to close so we had to leave while we could. Thank you Marie for all you have done for us during our stay. Thank you Cyrus for being such an accommodating host! We hope to return soon! St. Lucia is so welcoming and beautiful. The house was very spacious and the view is priceless! Having our own private beach was fantastic!
