Location: Marigot Bay, St. Lucia, Caribbean (Located about 20 minutes South of Castries; on Caribbean Sea)

Accommodations:  House, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4)

Poinsettia House sits on a hillside looking down on the ocean - you can even see fish swimming from the balcony. The views are truly extraordinary - and unobstructed as to our west is nothing but conservation land.

Just a short walk (two to five minutes) from the house, you find six restaurants/bars, beach (FREE beach chairs for guests), dive shop, water sports rental, grocery,bakery, small bank with ATM, spa, and gift shops. The location in Marigot Bay makes it ideal for touring the island as it is centrally located; or just sitting back and relaxing your entire holiday.

Two bedrooms with bath en suite - each has a king-size bed with fan overhead. Two sitting areas with fans - and full kitchen supplied with everything you need to cook including cookbooks. Off the west end of the house is a sun deck - the perfect place to sit and watch the many boats that daily come in and out of the harbor. The grounds are planted with fruit trees (orange, grapefruit, guava, and lime), passion fruit vine, pineapples - and of course, flowers. Lucianna, our housekeeper, comes in three days a week to clean and will also cook meals for you (extra).

Airport transfers upon arrival are included in our rental fee and our driver, Smalley, meets you at the airport and takes you to Marigot. He arranges for someone to help with bags and takes you to the house. He can also take you on tours at your request (extra).

  • Marigot Bay is the gem of St. Lucia...and Poinsettia House has the finest view available. We enjoyed relaxing on the patio watching the sailboats and water activities for hours! This is just a great home and location...everything was very clean and well kept. The kitchen fully equipped if you wanted to cook or several very nice restaurants within walking distance (our favorite Hurricane Hole). The King beds are comfy, the breeze and warm temps perfect...take a book, take day trips by water taxi (how cool is that!) to secluded beaches. Visit the Piton's and mineral bath but the highlight will be returning to watch the sun set from that wonderful patio! We appreciated the nice stereo and ipod connection and also the wifi. If you can work from St. Lucia...why would you go home?? The owners Joe and Elaine take a tremondous amount of pride in their beautiful home and it shows. Clean, safe and very enjoyable! Thank you for the opportunity to relax in the beautiful, quaint and charming bay!

  • Incredible house, incredible view, incredible local people. We just returned 6/7/08 and loved every minute. The house is spacious, immaculate and fully equipped. Great for a romantic get away. My wife and I just wanted to relax and we only left the bay 2 times for 4 hours each. Our 23rd anniversary and 2nd honeymoon - it was as good as the first in St. Barts. Anything that the owners tell you about anything is right on the money.

  • Elaine, I almost can't believe that it is just now that I am getting to writing you an email about our trip to Poinsettia House around this time last year, especially in light of the fact that it was and continues to be a trip and experience that we talk about almost weekly. I have had the privilege of traveling to many places in the world, always wanting to go to St Lucia, but never could make it happen. That is until last year when we finally made it to your cottage. I could go on and on and on about what it felt like when I opened the front door and walked in and saw the view to waking-up to the morning breezes, to swims in the bay, kayaking, snorkeling, trips into town, etc....however, words can not possibly begin to describe the UNBELIEVABLE sites, sounds, smells, and unforgettable memories that were created. It is the closest thing to heaven on earth that I have experienced! We want to come back, and I wanted to see what weeks you had available/open at the Poinsettia House this year so that we can start our planning. I look forward to hearing from you!!!!!!!!!

  • 15 to 29 August 2007 My family and I had a fantastic time in Marigot Bay. Poinsettia House is a lovely (and clean) villa and very good value for money. The view from the villa is breathtaking - so beautiful! Elaine Jackson, the owner, is very helpful and extremely organised. Smalley (he is a real gentleman), picked us up on arrival. Luciana, the housekeeper, made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Luciana prepared a nice fish dinner for us when we arrived - and there was a lot of it! It was delicious! Everything was so well organised. We rented a car and visited the island. The island is small and it doesn't take long to drive around. It is 27 Km wide and 43 Km long. Our favourite beaches are Anse Cochon (20 minutes boat ride from Marigot Bay) you can also drive there. The other is in the south, at Jalousie Plantation (a resort) in Soufriere, with white sand and crystal clear water! St Lucia is a beautiful island and the Lucians are very friendly. We truly enjoyed ourselves - enjoyed the food especially the seafood. We fell in love with St Lucia and we will definitely come back one day. Colette

  • What a fantastic time we had at Poinsettia House! So many times traveling to new areas we find the pictures or brochures completely oversold the accommodations and overall experience – this is one time when the pictures can’t do justice to the views and natural beauty that surrounded us. Ursula kept commenting that Poinsettia House was the cleanest and best equipped vacation house we had ever stayed in. Lucianna is a fantastic cook, we had her prepare 2 island meals for us and they were totally the best. O’Neil was very helpful getting us settled in, and we brought some of his carvings home to give as gifts. Smalley was there for us whenever we needed him as well. We like to get out and really explore when we first stay in a new place, so we rented a car for the week. We used Clarence’s service and he was very prompt and easy to work with. Next time we will probably use Smalley and water taxi’s to get around instead of renting a car.

  • Dear Elaine & Joe, We could not have asked for a more romantic honeymoon! The house and it's views are just magnificent! The sunsets from the patio just took our breath away! We also toured the island a couple of times with Smalley and I just can't say enough great things about him. What a wonderful person! Lucianna also came and cooked for us one night. By far the best meal we had all week. Her cooking is just fabulous! We enjoyed she and Antony's company as much as the food. We also went snorkeling with Alex and just had a ball! He is very entertaining! All in all just a wonderful, wonderful trip! We can't wait to come back! Thanks again for opening up your home to us we will never forget it! Sincerely, Jeff and Jennifer Sivori

  • We just returned from a wonderful week in paradise at Pointsettia House. The house is located on beautiful Marigot Bay, which we found to have more than enough ammenities, but small enough to give us a homey, relaxed feeling. Elaine and Joe's cottage is located on a hill at the opening to the bay which allowed us to sit on the patio and enjoy (without any obsruction) an awsome view of the bay as well as all the boats that come in and out each morning and evening. The convenience of the restaurants, beach, and activities was great. We were almost always able to do something spontaneously traveling by water taxi or cab. We found that a car really wasn't necessary. We also found the other guests in the area as well as the residents to be very friendly and helpful. It seemed each day we were meeting someone from another state or country. Elaine warned us not to do too much, but we enjoyed getting around to see the beautiful countryside. We did, however, enjoy quiet times just relaxing and watching the sun set. Thank you, Elaine and Joe, for providing us with such an enjoyable retreat.

  • We would firstly like to say thanks to Joe & Elaine for making our Honeymoon Perfect. The Poinsettia House not only does it have the best view on the Island but it's a very magical place for us. Imagine all the amenities of home and then to take a glimps from it's front room onto the bay and caribbean sea. We sat for hours enjoying the deck of Poisettia weither grilling some steaks, kicking back a few cold Pitons beers or rum punches. The trip was so relaxing because Joe, Elaine, and their driver Smalley explain everything there's to do on the island. Smalley, really went out of his way on his tours. He made sure we had the best photo oppertunitys and explained the history, enviroment,and it's people to us. And lastly we you arrive make sure you say Hello to Kevin at The Soggie Dollar. He found my wedding ring after it slipped off my finger in 25 foot of water snorkeling one afternoon,way to go Kev. We can not wait to see you all for our anniversery. Poinsettia House and friends will always be a part of us. Love Marshall & Jackie
