Before and during our visit Rosemary was fully engaged on our behalf to see that we had a great visit. She could not have done more for us. We brought a couple snorkel masks (necessary because there is no snorkel gear at the VRBO - We used our gear every day to snorkel around Secret Cove and it proved a very convenient place to see hundreds of fish within a short walk down the hill. Highly recommend you use her recommended driver (Gus), he is a fantastic personality and provides such excellent insights on the island and responsive service.
Barbara's ( Rosemary's sister) welcome with a jug of rum punch was excellent. The property is superbly equipped in terms of kitchen utensils and appliances, drinking water dispenser, coffee machine etc. and gas bbq on the patio. There is aircon in every room if needed. We particularly enjoyed sitting in the large lower lounge in the heat of the day before going back outside for another swim in the beautiful pool. Although the walk down to the beach was steep it was managed by 70 year olds and a 3 year old and was well worth it for the snorkelling which was almost as good as our private charter. A list of phone numbers left in the house book was very useful to contact Rosemary, Barbara, Pixie and Gus our driver. The system of taxis in St Lucia is interesting as you pay per person for any trip. To do the trip to Castries for shopping and market is $ 60 US return for 6 people. A car should be considered if you intend to go out a lot. The beautiful sandy beach is a pleasant 15 minute slow walk away and the swimming there is superb. Local food can be purchased at the beach costing around $30 EC Gus took us on a sightseeing tour to the Pitons, and other shorter trips to Rodney Bay, and local restaurants. He was very accommodating and never let us down. We engaged chef Eli to cook us a 5 course meal including canapes to start and lobster for main course. The meal for 6 cost $450 US and was excellently presented and served. It was very tasty. A thoroughly enjoyable place.
We came here as a group of 7. The size of the villa was bigger than expected, and the beauty of the location for sunsets and enjoying all the comforts of home was fantastic. We did our own cooking most nights and enjoyed the sunsets almost every night as we hung out by the pool or on the upper deck. It was only 1.25 miles to the grocery which we walked to several times. Vigie Beach was beautiful and only about a 5 minute walk. We also have nothing but amazing things to say about Barbara, Sonia and Gus. Rosemary was very responsive and her sister, Barbara was available for questions and suggestions. We used Gus as our driver and are very happy we did. He was knowledgeable, ontime, and gave great info about the island. The cost for him driving all of us wherever we wanted to go was equal to what it would have cost for 2 cars and driving a car on some of the roads in St Lucia would have been difficult (also, you can drink on the Gus Bus). The villa has a ton of space with the most scenic views. It’s extremely clean and well maintained. We also snorkeled from the rocky beach below the house which was a nice bonus.
Secret Cove is a really fantastic find. Our group of 6 loved our time here. What stood out: - the people. Gus, the recommended driver/taxi/tour guide for the house was a highlight. He’s fun, accommodating, punctual, and elevated our trips out of the home. He leant us a cooler and bottle opener as well. There’s no bus like the ‘Gus Bus’. James, the chef suggested by the house was also a highlight. He made fantastic food, accommodating all requests, and making healthy options (that didn’t taste healthy). Sonya, the house manager rounded out the folks we interacted with. She did a great job keeping the space clean and helping us have a stocked fridge and pantry when we arrived by pre purchasing groceries. - the views. The house faces due west and has spectacular sunset views. - the outdoor spaces. The patio is fantastic. 8 easily can dine together at the outdoor table. The pool is dated but fun (no hot tub). The beach directly under the property is rocky but nice for snorkeling and just getting in the sea. - the bedrooms. All we’re comfy, all had bathrooms, all had comfy beds and ice cold AC. What you should know: - you’re on the domestic airport peninsula. So inter Caribbean flights are amazing from an access perspective. We actually had friends meeting us take a photo of us from the plane while we danced on the roof). This means your about 1.5 hours to international. You’re 1.5 hours to the Pitons and Sugar beach for reference.
Rosemary was very helpful providing information and answering questions. The home is beautiful. Had a few hiccups but the property manager and others helped address them as best as possible. Would definitely stay again.
