Family-Friendly Caribbean Villa with Private Pool in Lance Aux Épines, Grenada

beautiful location. nice property but AC did not work in one of bedrooms. Owner was as helpful as possible, but at the end of the day, the AC did not work the entire stay

We loved our 11 days here. It is not your usual vacation villa as it is a family holiday house and quite quirky. But it is immaculately clean with maid service three times a week, good air-con, very well equipped, beds are comfy and the showers powerful. The small pool was perfect for a cool down and the gardens very pretty. You really need a car here as no bus service but we enjoyed the peaceful residential area - walks along the peninsula to the wild cliffs in the cool of the evening and the University Club is five minutes stroll if you don't want to cook. There is a beach just over the road but not really suitable for sitting on or swimming - nice to stroll along though and fabulous beaches and restaurants a few minutes away in the car. The owner couldn't have been more helpful: she arranged our car hire and left us very generous shopping for the first night. We will definitely return.

Wonderful stay for our group. Great value for the money. Easy walk to SGU for dinner. Short drive to everything else. Property manager and local staff are super helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Clean, welcoming home, situated in a nice residential area with views of the water. Not far by car to the supermarket or to Morne Rouge beach. A maid came 3 days each week tidy up. There was a plunge pool also clean. The internet failed because the line was rubbed by a nearby tree. The owner worked tirelessly to get it fixed.

On paper this villa is beautiful, however exposed ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT outside which have the potential for danger or even death ! when it rains and the water runs down the standard lamp were a major concern as there was no outside circuit breaker and in the U.K. THIS WOULD BE ILLEGAL and condemnable. ALSO Far too many cables and adapters internally for appliances that are broken or unnecessary and also creat a dirt trap, making it difficult for the cleaner. The place needs a serious deep clean ! And Everything needs up dating ! EVEN the kitchen cupboards smelt damp and the lighting in the kitchen was inadequate. A large leech was found making it’s way across the kitchen floor one evening ! with other dried up ones found around the patio. We had read that the cleanliness of the pool had been an issue in the past as it was dirty around the rim . . This time We thought it was old suntan cream around the pool but it was ground in grime that the pool cleaner needed to blast off as he could not shift it. THE MAJOR hazard was the steps down into the pool, theses were so loose my partner twisted his knee getting into the pool and spent the rest of the holiday wearing a brace when ever we went walking. The owner emailed to say that she only ever jumps in the pool and uses the steps to climb out ! In the 2nd and final week of out stay The pool man said he would fix it but he never came back and as a result of the combination of both issues I felt unable to use the pool . . Which was one of the reasons I booked it in the first place. The wardrobe doors whilst quaint Venetian last style are wobbly and unstable and I trapped my hand in them trying to close them . . . The shower needs better draining as it takes so long to empty you end up paddling in soapy water. And finally the light switches have been added on and on over time, consequently it takes you a fortnight to work out which ones actually do which job .I am sorry it’s so negative but the villa is so cluttered with unnecessary stuff and so out dated it actually makes the holiday hard work as well as a potential for something dangerous happening. I notice that most people have been positive on this place because of location and have also commented on the beauty of Grenada . .I cannot fault either of those qualities. . But this place needs some serious love and attention to bring it up to the stars it’s being advertised as ! Would I go back there NO, WOULD I GO BACK TO GRENADA YES ! !

We had a wonderful time staying at this property.

We have stayed at this villa in the past so had certain expectations, so imagine our surprise when we realised quite quickly it had gotten even better. Within seconds of walking through the door our two eldest girls (9 and 3) had their swimsuits on and jumped into the warm crystal clear pool whilst myself, my wife and youngest daughter (6 months) explored the house. After nearly a 3 year absence from staying here we noticed that every room still looked fresh and clean, plus the back bedrooms en suite shower had a total renovation, we also had a suspicion that the sea facing bathroom had a new bath, basin and toilet installed but couldn't be 100% sure. Maybe the owners can clarify that? However the three little tweaks to the villa that made the biggest difference to our month there was the instillation of air con units in each bedroom and front room. If you have ever visited Grenada or another Caribbean island in the past you will know just how annoying those little critters can be, but with the air con running in the late evening and early morning we hardly noticed them and only picked up a couple of bites. The other really pleasing thing about our stay was seeing the staff (cleaner Janet/gardener Franklyn) who by all accounts have worked at the villa for years. Janet is such a sweet lady and very experienced with children and on one occasion was able to baby sit for us ($50 EC) whilst myself and the wife experienced an adult night out eating, drinking and listening to the latest soca music. Franklyn (a vegan who lives a humble lifestyle) who I had befriended on a previous trip was again such a pleasure to see again. After a brief chat with him about herbs and spices he returned a couple of days later armed with his own organically grown vegetables, fruit and various herbs (local coriander, local basil, thyme, chives, local lemon grass and french thyme, mangoes and avocados). Despite him saying that he didn't want much for his produce I gladly handed over $50 EC dollars because I knew that to buy this amount of organic food in a store in the UK or Grenada would cost me at least twice as much. I still maintain that it was the best $50 I spent on the island. With so much information in the villa about places to visit etc, during our stay we took every opportunity to see the sights and have totally fallen in love with the island again, we literally can't wait to come back. Grenada Villa keep up the good work.

Property is perfect and will be back next year!

Beautifully maintained, lovely landscaping and a very lovely quiet neighborhood

A lovely home in a serene residential area, suitable for early morning walks or afternoon jogging. A mile walk to the local beach, an excellent scuba outfit, and a handful of nice restaurants, but do rent a car or be prepared to negotiate the local bus system, because the rest of the island as well as the grocery shopping is a hilly distance away. The house itself was clean and delightful with an indoor pool in the patio area. The owner helped us organize and arrange our whole stay, from car rental to pick up at the airport, to first night's shopping waiting for us in the fridge. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

I came to stay at Park Drive for 10 days without the children! What can I say, I had a wonderful time . Janet and the team that run the house in the owners absence were all so helpful and friendly I felt at ease immediately. I've travelled a lot around the Caribbean and this is the first time I have rented a whole villa i was a little worried as to what I would find, but the house has everything I could need and then some! From great overhead showers to a panini grill and beach toys if only I had brought the kids. Hahaa I hired a car for my stay and took to spending my mornings exploring the island, cooling my toes in the natural waterfalls to finding wares and produce in the markets. The fish market is amazing and the sellers are eager to help you, fresh fish, cleaned and gutted in one go. Back at the house, grilling on the BBQ under a blanket of stars. It's amazing that you forget just how many there are in the sky. Grand anse beach is a good beach and I would recommend contacting the school of the blind and booking a massage the best 90 mins that makes you feel regenerated. The price is extremely welcome to. They do all types of massages so it's really worth a visit Umbrellas for afternoon lunch was good, and it was nice to see all the local expats hanging out. The other places that I ate at were Aquarium Carib sushi Port Louis Although the green chicken curry needs a little work on it I sadly didn't make it bb's crab back although I was told it was great but I shall makes sure it's on the list for next time! Overall I found my stay perfectly relaxing the house is situated overlooking a quiet bay and so you can open up all the windows and just bask in the cooling sea breeze and for those that prefer the artificial form the AC units in the bedrooms and living room work perfectly. Coupled with ceiling fans and standing fans, no mossie stands a chance of settling!! it really was a wonderful trip and I most certainly will be returning to both Grenada and the villa only with the children as once they saw the pool in my pictures and heard how I had dipped in at midnight I was sworn to a promise to return Thank you everyone and I look forward to my return and making new memories
