About Eric Poot
We are a Belgian family who is used to work and travel on the 5 continents. Our first visit to Grenada dates back to 1987! After visiting other quite busy Caribbean islands, it was a real surprise to discover a such paradise: the place was charming, and did not changed much since then. We bought Owl Cottage in 2011, after an active search of two years to find the best buy as a holiday and hide away house, in the same time able to be presented for rent for the lucky one's who want to share our choice: Grenada as a perfect holiday destination! In addition to our work and travels, we are also a sailing family, and L'Anse-aux-Epines is a fantastic harbour, where our sail boat drops the anchor quite often since 2009.
Eric Poot purchased this Cottage in 2011
Why Eric Poot chose Lance aux Epines
St. George's, Grenada's capital, is the most picturesque in the Caribbean. Grenadians are welcoming people, and all over the place you will feel a special touch of true Caribbean character. It is a friendly island, still untouched by the commercialism of mass tourism. All stores and services at a few minutes drive. Good airlines connections. Nice beaches. Rain forrest with water falls and bird life. A large choice of sport activities. Quiet and exciting in the same time. True paradise !
What makes this Cottage unique
Simple and efficient set-up, nice tropical garden, a fresh water pool for your convenience, and the beach at the bottom of the garden. A spectacular view on the bay and its numerous yachts. Nice picturesque sunset every day. The house is on Holidays Rental / Home Away since long, and we have inherited from the former owner the same team to take care of the house, the garden and the swimming pool. They like their job, and know how to welcome and accomodate our guests from various horizons.

Notes
- Grenada (known as the Spice Island) is somewhere special for a holiday. The capital - St. George's, is the most picturesque in the Caribbean. It has Tropical Rain Forests with two Peaks of around 3,000ft. There are numerous Waterfalls, and many colourful tropical trees, flowers and shrubs. It is a friendly island with a charm and character of its own, and is still untouched by the commercialism of many of the other islands. Children under six to be watched carefully by parents (swiming pool, balconies). There is a 9-hole golf course nearby. Scuba diving, wind surfing, yacht charters and car hire are all available in the local area.

We have rented VRBO for the last 18 years. This is one of the best. The Villa is in a great location with great privacy. Well attended to. Beautiful landscape. Eric has a great staff to assist you're every need. Wonderful people! Our 2 week stay was too short.
Highly recommend.
A lovely escape
A great property in an ideal location - a wonderful 2 week escape.
Perfect Location for Families
This property is located directly across the street from the beach and in a safe neighborhood making it perfect for a small family or two couples looking to relax. The exterior grounds are beautiful with lush and vibrant landscaping surrounding the pool deck and the rest of the yard. The verandah offers panoramic views of the bay and is a great place to relax. The cottage offers all the amenities, 2 bedrooms and baths, and a fully equipped kitchen, but you will not spend any time inside. The beach, located directly across the street offers the beach restaurant sponsored by the Calabash Resort at the far end. We enjoyed a great lunch in a beautiful setting and of course the main restaurant at the resort is available as well. A little closer on the beach is a fantastic dive shop where we arranged snorkeling with spotted eagle rays and a wreck dive. And then closer is the tiki bar where we mostly enjoyed the weather, water and of course a couple of their rum punches. The neighborhood is safe allowing my kids to adventure down to the beach with no problems. I almost never want to travel back to a destination, but Grenada is wonderful with solid enough infrastructure to be able to drive yourself around and plenty to do. Owl Cottage is the perfect location to base your adventure from and I will be coming back.
Perfect location with amazing views
Our family of four visited this lovely cottage. First off, the staff that takes care of the place are great. Sparrow, Ms. Barry and Curtis treat the guests like family and the home like their own. The views from the veranda are spectacular and we enjoyed breakfast and afternoon cocktails from here. The pool is an oasis and we used it every day. The gardens are established and are beautiful. The house is great for a family of four and we were comfortable for our weeks stay. The location on the island is wonderful as it is very close to 4 restaurants and a short drive to all of the places that you want to go. I have no hesitation recommended this place. The only reason I didn't rate it as a 5 star is that the internet is very slow (2 users max online at a time), the water pressure/temperature is very low/too hot in the master shower (it was dry season when we were there) and there was no outside grill/bbq. When we visit Grenada again, I hope Owl Cottage is available for us to rent! Great place!!!
Charming cottage overlooking the bay.
The staff (house keeper, property manager and gardener) was amazing and helpful. We enjoyed the location - very easy to walk across the street to the beach for two different resorts/restaurants. We rented a car and explored the island - such a beautiful island with friendly people. Our kids loved the pool. Great getaway! We highly recommend.
Map
The local roads in Lance Aux Epines are good, but not fully shown on the map. Owl Cottage is just 50 yards from the palm fringed, golden sand beach. It is only a short walk to the Calabash Hotel, along the beach. Also nearby, within 5 minutes walk, are 4 other restaurants including the renowned Red Crab and the Boat Yard at Prickly Bay Marina with happy hour, music nights and mini-market. Supermarkets, banks and the famous Grand Anse Beach are just 5 to 10 minutes drive away.
Other Activities: Lounging beside Pool, drinking Rum Punch. :-)
