Spectacular Ocean Views, Close to Beaches, Away from Resort Crowds

The house was beautiful-3 bedrooms and 3 baths-perfect for a family of 5. Kitchen had everything we needed. Quiet neighborhood on the Atlantic side-we took a walk along the bluffs and it was breath-taking. The yard was private and lovely. Sabina and her family were so helpful. Sabina bought us groceries so we had food when we arrived and she advised us many places to visit. I forgot my laptop and she met me at the airport to return it! I would recommend this house especially if you want a quiet and private home away from home on beautiful St. Lucia!!!

We enjoyed the house. It is very nice, and well furnished and equipped. It's feel like you are staying at a friends home. The air conditioners in the bedrooms were awesome. The area is very quiet and peaceful. We would recommend this property to others.

I would recommend Sabina's home to anyone. We stayed here because we did not want to stay in the tourist part of St. Lucia. We wanted to know what it was like to be a part of the local neighborhood and we found that here. We shopped at the local market, ate at the local restaurants, and toured some of the lesser known attractions of St. Lucia. It was fantastic. We were not fighting crowds of tourist buses or shopping at 'Diamonds International'. We were with the locals which was what we wanted.

Sabina's home is located on a peninsula on the Atlantic side of the island. It has the ocean on three sides of the home. You are not directly on the water but you can see it from several windows. The home itself is very comfortable and Sabina supplies all that you need. The two bedrooms upstairs are master suites. One has a small veranda and the other has an outdoor bathroom. All the bedrooms have air condition. The kitchen is well stocked with anything you would need to cook with. The market is a 15 minute drive away. We spent much of our time on the patio enjoying the ocean breeze.

We asked Sabina to purchase a few items for our first morning on the island so that we would not have to run to the store. We also asked Sabina to prepare two meals for us. I would highly recommend this. Sabina is a fantastic cook and you get to sample the local foods. She made large quantities and we were able to have dinner and leftovers for a light lunch. She explains what the food is and how to eat it. Delicious!

There are two beaches within walking distance. It's a good hike and we chose to drive most of the way to the sandy beach. The sandy beach is perfect for swimming. The other beach is not for swimming but has a charm of it's own with a nice area to walk in the surf.

There are several attractions we went to that were recommended by Sabina. We drove to the Choiseuel Art Gallery owned by Leo and Hattie Barnard. They are a local couple who are artists and carry local art in their shop. They gave us a very informative tour and explained the process of several of the pieces they have and we learned more about the island.

We also went to Latille Water Falls, a small waterfall owned by locals. The cost wasn't much and there were no crowds. You can swim in the falls if you come prepared. We also went to Mamiku, a plantation with botanical gardens. Very pretty. Another must is Tet Paul trail to see the Pitons. You can pay a guide ($10).

My friend and I stayed 4 days at the villa in April and had a very nice time. Sabina welcomed us when we arrived and gave us a quick tour of the house. Our suitcases were taken upstairs for us, which was wonderful. Fresh fruit and water were supplied also. The 2 upstairs bedrooms were large and comfortable and had their own baths. The shower did not have much pressure, but was adequate. Only 1 bath has hot water. The wifi worked fine downstairs, but not upstairs where there is air conditioning. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. Our complaint is that the furniture downstairs, while lovely, was not comfortable for us, so we mainly stayed upstairs in the sitting room in the evening in the air. We used Lambert's taxi service during our visit and he did a good job for us, being on time and driving carefully. This is a good location to explore the south part of the island and I do recommend staying here. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating to help us enjoy our stay.

The house is nice and in good condition. It is in a great quite neighborhood near nice beaches and kitesurfing. The location is on the non-tourist side of the island, but close enough to lots of places/attraction. Neighbors are very approachable; one showed me the way to a great beach in the neighborhood (there are two, closer one not so good for swimming but pretty, and other is great but 4x4 is required to get to it or a long walk). Owner provided very good service with requests, maid, and cooking. It is owned by locals and not ex-pats.
