My friend and I stayed here for 7 nights and had a wonderful time! This house is located on a steep hill in a peaceful neighborhood near Rodney Bay, the Marina & Reduit Beach, all of which are within a 30-min or less walk or less than 10-min drive. We were also very close to Pigeon Island, maybe a 10-minute drive. There are three Massey markets very close by to stock up on groceries. We did not rent a car and walked almost everyday to Reduit Beach or took the recommended taxi service to places further away. The house is on a very steep hill. It's not feasible to walk around unless you're very fit or up for a challenge. Mark and Angelika, the hosts, are phenomenal! Mark got us settled on our first day, gave us a thorough tour of the property, a local cell phone to contact him for anything and to schedule taxi rides. Angelika recommended what became our favorite section of Reduit Beach and we returned everyday after our first visit. Wherever you need, Mark and Angelika can help!
We were in the lower level apartment close to the pool. If you want to stay on the upper level for the views, check availability before booking. We cooked a proper hot breakfast everyday. The kitchen has the basics to make simple meals. You'll need to bring/buy spices, paper towels and of course buy food if you want to cook. We're beach people & only hung out by the pool once while doing laundry, but the pool is well maintained with lounge chairs and umbrellas. If you want to do laundry, bring/buy detergent. There are parking spaces if you rent a car. The taxi service recommended by the hosts is great, reasonably priced and the drivers are fantastic. We want to return to St. Lucia and will definitely stay at Paradise Cove Villas again due to the hosts, en suite bathrooms, safe neighborhood and proximity to many tourist activities and good restaurants in Gros Islet and Castries. Book today, you will be in good hands!
