About Secret Cove
You'll find this stunning home very comfortable and spacious to enjoy with your family and friends, whatever the occasion. There is a private beach for snorkeling and diving and we have been told that snorkeling is one of the best sites on the entire Island. The popular Vigie Beach a 7 minute walk away. The property is sprawled in the middle of one acre of matured flora and Fauna.

The imposing entrance leads into well appointed and spacious rooms, hard wood floors in the living areas, and granite tiles in the bedroom areas. All rooms are exquisitely furnished a and pleasing on the eye. The home consists of 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms available for your living pleasure. The space is over 7500 square feet. WIFI is excellent throughout the home; there is also a house phone that guests can use for local calls.

The pool and jacuzzi are tastefully set in the middle of a wooden deck. The pool is 4ft 6 inches deep, perfect for swimming and socializing. A gentle water fall flows from the jacuzzi to the main pool. Smoking is allowed in outdoor areas. Please note the jacuzzi is not a hot tub.

Based on our experience, we have found that guests either prefer privacy, or may like to have staff available. For that reason we provide services on demand. There is no extra charge for cleaning services throughout your stay.

Additional fees are charged for stocking the Villa with your grocery shopping list. Chef James can be booked anytime and delights the most discerning palettes, from BBQ's to 5 course meals. Our therapist Pixie has been scored 10 out of 10 for the spa treatments she delivers. We can assist with taxis and car rentals.

Beautiful villa and ocean setting
Villa is even better than photos. Very spacious with lots of room for adults to spread out. Great air con for sleeping in each room. Rosemary is the best host we have experienced re responsiveness and care. Great overall stay! Highlights were James cooking for us over 4 nights. He accommodated vegan and gluten free dietary needs with ease and the remainder of us enjoyed fresh fish each night he cooked. Accomplished chef with a healthy local ingredient focus. Highly recommend and the convenience of lovely dining on the ocean front terrace! As well, snorkeling from the rocky beach surpassed expectations. Better snorkelling than other beach locations (other than marine park at Sugar beach) and convenient and safe. Many species of fish. Habitat is natural and not pristine as it would be with a marine park but lots of fish. A wonderful surprise. Bring your own gear. Flippers not needed. Highly recommend Coal Pot restaurant as well. Grocery store 5 min away and easy to buy what we needed. We chose to rent a van and drive. Very experienced re LH side drive. BUT don’t rely on google maps - we ended up on steep hairpin turn secondary routes. Required tremendous focus to drive in sections. While we went out on a trip every other day and short drives for dining or groceries we would likely choose to work with Gus next time and relax!!

Ten Days of Paradise
I have been with Homeaway as a traveler since pretty well when the company started and now with VRBO. I used Homeaway at minimum once a year and sometimes more often. This is to say that I have stayed in some magnificent properties and have also seen some with need for improvement. This past holiday time we decided to go to Saint Lucia along with my brother and sister and their families. There were eight of us. Without any exaggeration this was the best property that I have ever enjoyed and it was perfect for us. The three couples all had their own bedrooms with en-suite and the two singles, each had the same arrangement with their own bedrooms. Plenty of room for everyone. Rosemary, our host, was always available and was able to arrange for "above and beyond" services, such as having groceries and refreshments waiting for us so that we did not have to go shopping for groceries when we arrived. Sonya also came by to sweep and tidy up just about every day. We were met by Tiffany, who was also available and there to let us in the home and show us around. I also do not recommend that you rent a car because the roads are narrow and left hand. Besides, Nigel provide us with rides anywhere we wanted to go, at a moments notice in his air conditioned van. We also had Alvin cook us a wonderful seafood meal, just for a break from our own cooking, which we also enjoy. He is a chef that you can use if you want a holiday from your own cooking as well. The pictures do not do justice to the property. It is much more beautiful! There is even coconut palms and a banana tree on the extensive property as well as fruit trees that I have never seen. The area was safe and the villa had its own remotely operated gate. We all used the private pool as well. For a family holiday I cannot think of a better place. There is lots or room for a larger group. For the eight of us this was perfect! Thank you Rosemary for putting up with our endless requests and for sharing this beautiful home. You were always there for us, and as I said, your involvement was well above and beyond any that I have experienced with previous hosts. You made us feel welcome and at home. Thank you again!

Awesome St Lucia villa
Secret Cove Villa is an awesome place to stay in St Lucia. The views from the home onto the ocean are outstanding, and we got daily sunsets. It rained a little almost every morning, so we also got some really pretty rainbows over the ocean. You can snorkel just steps from the property, and the beach is about a half mile walk on the other side of the peninsula. We also made extensive use of the private pool. We traveled with five adults and two infants, and there was plenty of room for everyone. There is daily maid service if you want it, and the local property manager is easy to reach. The property owner can arrange in-home chef services, spa services, and yoga instruction, and we used all of those multiple times. The property owner also has a driver, Gus, that can pick you up and drop you off at the airport. I would highly recommend using Gus since the roads aren't great and you drive on the left side of the road. We used Gus multiple times throughout our stay, and I can't say enough good things about him. We did a full-day tour to the Soufriere area with Gus, and he took us to all the main spots, but we also stopped at some hidden local treasures. All in all, it was a great vacation and a wonderful property. I would highly recommend staying here.

Amazing vacation villa
We stayed at Secret Cove Villa for a week and words cannot express what an amazing week we had. The Villa exceeded our very high expectations. Rosemary was extremely attentive throughout the process. Gus, the villa driver was fantastic. By the end of the week, he was like family. Sophia was wonderful to have clean daily. We had Charles (chef) cook our first day meal and it was worth it. Pixie provided massages one day and she is a true professional. Highly recommended. We enjoyed snorkeling and shell-hunting on the private beach. We bird-watched on the property, saw a sea turtle swim in one day, enjoyed morning coffee on the patio and watching the cruise ships come in and out of the harbor daily. I just sat on the patio staring at the sea every day and it...was...perfect. Thank you Rosemary and your crew!

Perfect St. Lucia Stay
Our extended family of 8 had a wonderful stay in this villa, as it was well laid out, spacious, and had a wonderful pool and direct snorkeling access via stair to Secret Cove itself. Stunning sunsets every night, and cruise ship views were great as well. Central location in Castries was great to access both Rodney Bay and Soufriere easily, not to mention easy car rental at nearby SLU airport. Rosemary was highly responsive and filled with recommendations. Her staff from Sonia (house support), driver/tour guide Gus, and cook James were all outstanding - helpful and informative, and really excellent in their roles. Highly recommend this villa and all the delightful folks that do a terrific job and bring St. Lucian hospitality and culinary delights to life.

About the host

Hosted by Rosemary Barnard Deligny

Host profile image
My name is Rosemary and I built Secret Cove Villa. I was born in St. Lucia, but spent most of my earlier life in London as a student. After studying, I worked for many years in London. I returned to St. Lucia after spending 15 years in the UK. My then husband died very suddenly at the age of 48. Two years later, I decided to build Secret Cove as a new home for myself and our three children. Alas, children grow up, and leave home creating an empty nest. The home had definitely become too large for one person. With the advent and popularity of vacation rentals, I thought it would be a good way to share my home when I was travelling or off Island. I invite you to come and stay at Secret Cove. I'm certain you'll find your own Secret spot. You will feel the love at all times 😎!!! Come, stay.

Why they chose this property

Vigie Peninsula is a very desirable residential area in St. Lucia, and most of the homes there belong to established families on the Island. Vacationing on an Island is all about balmy breezes, the beautiful blue sea, coconut water and good food. Secret Cove lends itself to true Caribbean living, with a little luxury. Walk around the fenced grounds, smell the flowers and partake of the fruit. There is something unique about us. Many guests say that we look a lot better than the photos. Come and see for yourself.

What makes this property unique

Adjoining Secret Cove is a hidden treasure best known as Meadows Battery. The Battery was built by the British in 1898 as a look out point to defend the French from the Island. From that lookout area, French ships could be seen approaching the Island from Martinique. St. Lucia was 7 times British and 7 times French, until the island was captured by the English and remains to this day a British territory. The remains of that history is immediately next door to Secret Cove. There you will find underground prisons, where the French soldiers caught as prisoners were kept. Begin exploring and take some great memories in photos back home with you. Perfect for an afternoon walk.
