My wife saw the villa online and we chose it because it looked like a good, safe place. After conversations with the owner, we knew it was the place that we wanted to stay. We had not visited the island in a while and thought that we would move away from the usual resorts - with this being the ideal place.
We got directions from Lawrence a couple of days before we got to St Lucia, he also asked whether we needed a rental car and other amenities. We declined the car but mentioned that we had two small children - they facilitated us with a crib and there was also a sofa bed which came in handy. Upon arriving at the villa around 6p we were met by Angela who is just the bubbly, gracious host that anyone would want to meet. We spoke like we knew each other for a while and she even helped with our luggage, and explained parking facilities, the rooms, access, and everything else. Thank you Angela!
The rooms are updated with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and more. Apart from regular towels we were also given beach/pool towels.
The place is quiet, clean and there are many friendly people servicing the grounds and building. Everyone greeted us and our kids. The pool is great and we used it regularly considering that it was just outside our front door. FYI - the water is cold and we realized that some people came in to clean and service the pool on a few occasions. The place is well lit and we drove and parked our 4WD just near the room. We felt very secure and made a few friends while there.
Based on the island, we visited family and friends, went to the Sulphur Springs, Castries Markt, took the kids to the beach, visited Pigeon Island and much much more.
The villas are quite a distance from the main airport - Hewanorra (winding roads and young ones may want to take motion sickness medication). It is also not near the main highway and not in the center of Gros Islet or Rodney Bay where all the action is - some people may consider this good or bad. However, if you are on a budget and want a country style, fully equipped villa with friendly faces catering to your needs - then this may just be the place for you. Thanks to Lawrence and his team for making our short vacation in St Lucia a success.
