Map & Owner's Profile
Luxurious Villa with Panoramic Ocean Views and Guest House
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Windwardside
I visited Saba on a diving trip and immediately fell in love with the incredible reef, pristine hiking trails, unspoiled natural beauty of the topside, but most importantly the people, who think and live outside the box and are among the most loving and kind in the world.
During my first visit, I was invited to people's houses for dinner, everyone waved as I passed, and people remembered my name. When I went home, I had Emails from the locals asking when I was returning. I felt like I had left part of my heart on Saba, so I returned 5 times and eventually bought a property and created Hummingbird Villa. My family and friends love it here, and we go out of our way to make each guest's stay special.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Hummingbird Villa truly has a soul. It beckoned to me from the moment I set foot in the main house. The unique, warm, 18" wide cedar plank floors seem to come up to meet your bare feet. The spectacular sunrises over the ocean, with a view of 6 islands, is one of the most beautiful in the world and one never tires of it. The property is maintained with love. The villa is right across the street from the mountain road up to Mt. Scenery, so you can walk across the street and hike up to the highest peak in the Netherlands, or walk 250 feet in the other direction and hike down to Spring Bay, or walk 5 minutes and be in the center of the Windwardside village. At the same time, the villa sits on 2.5 secluded acres, so you can swim in the altogether without a care in the world. The property is substantial and designed to accommodate a large group while giving everyone privacy, space and unimpeded access to all common areas. Between the main villa, the guest house and two turnkey apartments, this property will comfortably sleep a group of 12 with plenty of breathing room.

My husband and I just got back from our Honeymoon stay at Hummingbird Villa!! We cannot say enough wonderful things about this property! It was by far the most relaxing vacation we've ever taken! The house is absolutely beautiful and the views from the decks are unbelievable!! Dan, the owner, answered all of our many questions and suggested some wonderful "must do's" during our visit! We are already planning a return trip to visit the beautiful Hummingbird Villa and wonderful Saba!!
Owner response:I know how important it was to you to have a perfect wedding and honeymoon and am glad I could be part of this special life event, Jo. May you and Matt both enjoy a happy and healthy life together! And, of course, be sure to come back and visit us on Saba! Dan

Dear Dan, Christmas in the Hummingbird Villa, the place where dreams are made. The Ruff family needed to relieve stress from the 30 degree snowy weather of New York City. We wanted to share the Christmas season and celebrate our daughter Kyrah's 16th birthday somewhere "nice." We got "heavenly." The Caribbean island of Saba was the location and the Hummingbird Villa was our answer to the place where dreams are made. The warm sun and gracious hospitality will not be forgotten. You all helped make our daughter Kyrah's birthday a memorable one. My favorite room is the den. At Hummingbird, I was able to write and let my creative juices flow with the natural ease of the warm winds, and that feeling was sheer heavenly pleasure. The 7 AM sun was all I needed to start my writing juices and in the evening, the sweet harmony of the little frogs was a delight. Continue giving and sharing your fabulous villa. You will always be blessed by doing so. Thank you, Dan, for the phone service. That extra treat was truly appreciated. Continued health, wealth, and lots of love. Remember, successful people move differently! Johnetta, Kyrha and Kerry Ruff New York City

As I'm sitting outside absorbing the morning sun, with a view of the Caribbean strewn in front of me, thinking of how to describe my time here...our time here...at Hummingbird Villa, I realize the pillow in the great room says it all...this place truly is a slice of heaven! This is our first time to Saba, but definitely not our last. I'm plotting stragegies to get back here as soon as possible. It's a place you never want to forget. You'll see for yourself.

The Hummingbird House is definitely the place to stay if you're planning a trip to Saba. The diving on Saba is not to be missed and was the main reason we traveled there, but staying at the Hummingbird House was another highlight of our trip. The house is very clean, well furnished, and has incredible views of several other Caribbean islands. Sunrise every morning was worth getting up early for! We spent far more time at the house than we'd expected, just because it was so comfortable! I definitely recommend staying at Hummingbird House.

We are two couples from Saba's sister island of Statia who wanted a close-to-home getaway to relax, unwind and rejuvenate. Hummingbird Villa was just the ticket to do that. The four of us thoroughly enjoyed our time reading, relaxing, seeing the island and just enjoying each other's company in such a fabulous home. Hummingbird Villa had everything we needed and then some. We will be back!

A perfect day to start off our vacation: hiking, diving, and the Swinging Doors BBQ! Your villa tops any place we've stayed on Saba, and we've stayed at many. We truly loved every minute here. Thanks for sharing it with us. God bless you in 2009!

My niece was married on Saba. That is why we came to Saba. We LOVED staying in Hummingbird Villa. We saw many other accommodations, but we all thought our house was THE BEST. We loved the deck and spent mornings and evenings there....watched the sun and moon rise. I would love to spend a week here just relaxing. Thank you Hummers. Carol R.

The visit here is beyond words. I will try to paint a picture of Hummingbird Villa and Saba. The grounds, pool, foliage, beauty and comfort of hte home are incredible. The view from the deck is amazing. This is more than a place to stay, it is a place of calm, secluded peacefulness, a welcoming that embraces your body and your mind. We have eaten some fabulous food, met some very friendly and interesting people and enjoyed the local culture. This has been the trip of a lifetime. We will return. Ciao! Lo and Ant
