About this property

Barefoot Beach Villa - Access to 2 Beaches


The Barefoot Beach Villa is a luxury private beach house on the cliff side of La Toc, overlooking the enchanting Caribbean Sea. Just a 7-minute walk away, through beautifully landscaped gardens and exotic trees and orchids, lies a small, secluded snorkelling cove and beach. For the true beachgoers, there is the long, sandy beach of La Toc, just a 5-minute ride away.

It is only a 5-10 minute drive from Castries, the capital, which offers numerous restaurants, activities, shopping options, and local markets.

Note: If you have 6 guests or fewer, you'll be getting the main villa, which has 3 bedrooms: 1 King, 1 King, and 1 Queen with 1 single bed, plus 3 bathrooms.
If you have more than 6 guests, you'll be getting the main villa + cottage. The cottage has 2 bedrooms: 1 King and 3 Twins, plus 2 bathrooms. The cottage could potentially be rented separately.

About the Villa: The Barefoot Beach Villa is a luxury private beach house on the cliff side of La Toc, overlooking the enchanting Caribbean Sea. The villa features an eclectic design that blends rustic Caribbean elements, with its cool, coral-walled exterior and exotic dark-wood interior. The open-wall architecture lends itself to a peaceful, Zen-like flow and allows refreshing sea breezes and wider access to the beautiful view.

Location: Just a 7-minute walk away, through beautifully landscaped gardens and exotic trees and orchids, lies a small, secluded snorkelling cove and beach. For the true beachgoers, there is the long, sandy beach of La Toc, just a 5-minute ride away.

The home was designed and outfitted by the renowned Chef Xavier Ribot of the Coal Pot Restaurant. This tropical getaway offers every modern amenity, with no expense spared to ensure your complete comfort and relaxation.

Very relaxing

Enough good things could not be said about Liza, Jessy and Sherno. They all went above and beyond (especially Sherno since we relied on him for transportation) to make our stay very rewarding. I highly recommend lazy evenings in while letting them do the cooking for you. This was the perfect home base.

Beautiful property! You won’t be disappointed!

We loved it! Liza & the entire house staff was wonderful! Our 2 families booked both the house & cottage for 7 days. Easy walk to La Toc beach. This property is highly recommended. Also thank you for recommending chef Xavier! He cooked for us several times , the food was amazing!

Hodges Vacation

We were so pleased with our stay at Wild Serenity Villa! We opted not to rent a car and had Sherno take us to dinner and to explore the island. We loved the pool and made the easy walk daily to the two different beaches (Sandals and Rocky Beach). It was a joy to be able to walk there! I will say that the road to the bungalow would be very difficult to pass with a rental car so I would advise budgeting to have the driver take you here and there! Liza was our contact person and helped us with dinner reservations and we LOVED the home cooked meals two nights. Overall relaxing and wonderful stay ❤️

Perfect house for a family!

We traveled with our three children, ages 2, 8, 12, and this house was perfect for us! We loved having the pool plus two beaches right there, in addition to the quiet and privacy of a house (vs. a resort). The rocky beach has great shells, sea glass, tide pools with urchins and snails, and snorkeling (bring water shoes or hiking sandals). We also enjoyed La Toc and went down for the sunsets most nights. Liza and Jesse were so lovely and helpful to us and Sherno drove us to/from the airport, making everything a breeze! Castries is a great location to the explore the island from—we did things at both ends during our stay. Our favorite was Anse Cochon beach. We had a great trip and I would definitely stay here again.

WOWZERS

What an incredible stay from start to finish. Great communication with the property manager and we were greeting by the incredibly lovely Liza, who was above and beyond during our stay and Jesse was there to help with anything else that we needed as well. Pictures are accurate of the loction but doesn't do the property itself any justice, as this place took our breath away. Amazing lanscaping , close to the beach, a little hard to navigate on the map if you don't have someone who knows the area, but that was a QUICK fix for us. We all just had an amazing time here and made some core memories during our stay. Highly recommend booking this place.

We loved our time at Wild Serenity Villa. The property was just as described and was a nice relaxing place to stay. The pool was great. The staff, Jessie and Liza were excellent and handled our needs very well. They interacted and looked after my aging parents so very well. So very much appreciated. I highly recommend this location. The owner Beth was also around and very nice and very helpful. This just enhanced our experience in St. Lucia. Even Beth's son was around for a bit of our stay and he was also very nice and personable. You won't be disappointed!!

Serenity at Serenity (Barefoot Beach Villa)

Our group had a wonderful week's stay at Barefoot Beach Villa. The house was beautiful and well appointed, but the best part about our trip were the people! Ish, Charlie, Denise and Liza took such good care of us that we stayed in much more than we had originally planned. Charlie met us at the airport and was always available to taxi us to and fro whenever we requested his services. Ish was so gracious to show us his family restaurant which made our St. Lucia experience extra special. Denise and Liza were just the best all the way around! We will definitely come back and hopefully stay in the new beachfront home that's being constructed below the villa.

Fulfills the WOW factor!’n

A gorgeous Villa. The photos do not do it Justice. Beautiful tropical foliage surrounds the property. The deck is huge with terrific views. The saltwater infinity pool is inviting anytime day or night. Kitchen is well stocked with cookware, coffee makers, even a Ninja smoothly maker. Liza and Jessy are terrific and helpful staff who can answer any questions you might have. Make sure to ask Liza and her mother to prepare at least one Caribbean meal. All bedrooms have air conditioning as does the tv room. We were a family of five (3 generations) and all of us were overwhelmed with our stay. Would be happy to return.

Amazing property and staff

The overall experience we got from the house and staff was nothing short of amazing. From the housekeeper Liza and her family, to the absolute best driver and friend we could ask for, Sherno, everyone went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. The beautiful beach down below and tropical trees above make this home a tropical oasis for any family or friends seeking to experience this island in its truest beauty. The groundskeeper, Jesse was always on site to insure safety and maintenance and was very friendly as well. He even brought us some local fruits to enjoy. We met the owner who was also very welcoming. At the heart of this trip, Sherno, our driver, made sure we were taken care of from the time we arrived at the airport until the second he dropped us off. He personally accompanied us through town, on excursions, and around the island and made sure everything we did was done safely and effortlessly. Needless to say, we will definitely be back

August 2023

Our family of 7 had a wonderful time in the Bayfront Beach Villa, and the adjoining cottage. The residences are spacious, airy (you may have a bird or cat visit), well-furnished, with great A/C and wi-fi. The highlight of our stay was having Liza, the property manager, and her mother Selena, cook us 3 island dinners. If you are arrive on a Sunday, virtually nothing will be open, so it would be a great start to your stay by having Liza/Selena prepare you a welcome meal. A second highlight was lounging in the infinity pool (about 4x a day). The Sandals La Toc beach is really just a 7 minute walk away. The walk is adventurous, pasing the ruins of a residence and business, and down a cement staircase that would have yellow "off limits" tape on it if it was in the U.S., but which is safe to go down. The Sandals beach is a great place to link up with the Maximum Chill and Fun Side tour salesmen who work the beach. Vernon was out Maximum Chill contact and Jiggy was our Fun Side contact. Our day-long boat outing even left from the beach. The Castries downtown market is a great place to explore/eat/buy. The driveway into/out of the villa is a challenging but manageable. A vehicle with 4WD and high clearance helps. We enjoyed fine meals at Coal Pot, Spice of India, and Spinnaker. The owner, and Liza, and Jesse, who resides on site and is available to attend to things that come up) were all quick to respond. Five stars all the way.

The Villa is as pretty as pictured! Communication prior to arriving was very good to help us upon arrival. They were able to coordinate transportation to and from the airport and Sherno was then like our own personal driver all week - he is wonderful! Liza is the housekeeper who is so sweet and coordinated dinner our first night which was wonderful to arrive to since we did not step into the villa until 6pm. Liza is also so helpful for anything you need throughout the stay. The way the villa opens up to the outside makes you feel like you are at a private resort! The walk to the beach needs navigating but only a couple minutes walk and the beach right there is wonderful! We brought collapsable floats which made being in the water nicer. There are towels at the villa you can use for the beach & your own private pool! There are no toiletries at the villa other than hand soap - so be prepared there. But the kitchen is well stocked with plenty of plates and glassware, spices etc. The bedrooms are all very spacious. We would absolutely stay there again - we had help when we needed it and our own privacy otherwise! Thank you Liza for making our stay perfect and so wonderful! We miss you, the villa and the island already!!

Great homebase for exploring St. Lucia

Our group of 7 adventurers thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Within minutes of getting settled, we were snorkeling in the waters below the villa. And what a great snorkel spot it is between the Sandals area and behind Tapion hospital. After a hearty breakfast, we set out for our daily adventures of St Lucia's land and sea. We went SCUBA diving (all 7 certified) 3 days and got great views of the coast from Rodney Bay to the Pitons in the process. The underwater views are just as striking as the above water ones. Land adventures included Pigeon "Island" (now connected to main island, so technically not a separate island), St Lucia distillery tour (Bounty rum!), Millet Bird sanctuary hike/tour, and trips to the central market (fresh fruit and fish) as well as 3 different Massy stores for food. It was great being able to return to the villa each day and sip cold Piton beer and Bounty rum by the private pool before creating a sumptous dinner in the well-equipped kitchen. Games and socializing in one of the many group spaces rounded out the day before turning in to the very comfortable beds in well air-conditioned bedrooms. We felt fortunate to have Beth, Richard (owners who live in the house immediately downhill), Liza, and Jessie around to ask questions and to provide guidance. All great resources before planning our next day's adventure. If you want to get fat and tan on your vacation, go stay at an all-inclusive resort with its imported sand and all you can eat buffet. If you want to get to know the island and its people, rent a car and this villa and explore.

Wonderful stay in St. Lucia

Our group of 8 included two families with kids (ages 12-16). All had a great stay with plenty of room to stretch out. We lounged by the pool, explored the beautiful property, the cove and ventured over to Sandals beach. Definitely schedule Liza and her Mom to cook for you, they prepared two fabulous meals for us, we miss them so! Everything was very clean and all the directions for check in were very straightforward. Would definitely recommend! Thank you to the great host!

Perfect much needed family time.

We could not have been happier with the property, location or staff. Everything exceeded our expectations. The flora and fauna, views, beach and trails all added to the beautiful experience. I have stay in guest properties around the world and have not enjoyed one more. Liza the housekeeper was a kind gentle spirit. She and her mother cooked for us one night and it was truly five star. We wished we would have done this more than one night. They put us in contact with Sherno who arranged all outings and transportation. He was delightful and easy to communicate with. The is a grounds keeper on the property named Jessie, and while we knew he was there is we needed anything, he was completely non-obtrusive. We have Sherno's wife come to the villa for massages and they really added to our experience. I can't recommend this location more and hope we make it back sometime. There were 10 of us ranging in age from 3 to 60.

All around amazing experience!

We had a fantastic stay at Barefoot Beach Villa. The house was perfect and we loved the indoor/ outdoor living experience. Beth & Richard were incredibly gracious, interesting, knowledgeable and helpful hosts. And the staff, Liza, Denise and Jesse were very friendly and helpful too. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful landscaping, birds & wildlife, the pool, the views and perfect temperatures/breezes from the decks, and the ability to paddle board and snorkel right from the beach below. We took advantage of having Liza & Chester cook traditional Caribbean meals for us twice while we were there and enjoyed both experiences very much. We also appreciated having Charlie (Charlie's Taxi Service) do the driving for us when we ventured out to sight see, for groceries/ ATM, or for dinner. While we were there, we also explored the Castries, Pigeon Island, Soufriere, volcanic mud baths & waterfall, Sugar Beach (lots of amazing fish to see in reserve snorkeling area, so don't miss it if you are there!), Marigot Bay, Bouton area for bird watching (we saw parrots!) and Mamiku. It was quite simply an amazing week with the perfect blend of both adventure and relaxation opportunities for us.

Beyond all expectations

The house, which is located in a beautiful and serene setting, was stunning. We had high expectations, and Barefoot Villa exceeded them. We loved the open format and the large number of spacious rooms. The kitchen appliances were modern and there was enough prep space to cook for a crowd. The kitchen opens out onto a huge beautiful deck with a large table and lots of comfortable chairs for relaxing. So, while we cooked and ate our dinners, we had a breathtaking view of the spectacular sunset over the Carribbean. The view of the ocean was also great from the very cool and refreshing salt water infinity pool. The grounds around the property were great for walking and for seeing native plants and flowers. There are also many outdoor sitting areas, providing for quiet time when needed. Our housekeepers, Denise and Liza, were warm and friendly and absolutely perfect hosts. From beginning to end, they made sure we had everything we needed. And in addition to taking great case of us, they also shared lots of useful information about the island. We loved that they wanted to get to know a little about us and were willing to share a bit of their personal lives. Denise even brought us a cocoa pod from her tree at home, cut it open, and explained how cocoa was made. Incidently, since we were a large group, we opted to rent the cottage, as well. But "cottage" doesn't do justice to the additional living space. It's actually a lovely, contemporary, open-air, two story unit complete with two small decks that overlook the ocean. Ish, who takes care of the infinity pool and who couldn't have been nicer, brought us fresh coconuts from the property and used his expertise to cut them for us, so we had coconut milk for breakfast! He also brought us fish, including the freshest tuna we had ever eaten. And of course, Richard, the owner, was very welcoming and was available to answer all our questions. He even gave us a ride into town when our gang of six ran out of rum and beer! It was an easy walk to the beach and to a Sandals all-inclusive resort. We got day passes there one day and we had a blast playing tennis, snorkeling, and of course eating and drinking. There is nothing like a swim-up bar to make one feel decadent. In all, the attention to detail in both homes and the surrounding landscape, along with the warm welcoming hosts, made for a vacation we didn't want to see end. We loved everything about this rental, and are looking for to returning!

Exceptional property.

The pictures do not do it justice. Nestled in a forest of a wide variety of flowers and fruit trees (no wonder, the owner is an arborist) that attract a wide range of birds and other creatures, some of which visit regularly to see what they can steal. A good camera is a must to capture it. We had our 1 year old grandson and he had a ball in the pool and meeting a lot of wild life. And all of it just above the beautiful sea.

Turn your phones off and book this place now. One of the better places to unplug that i have been. With banana, mango, papaya and coconut trees on property, you don't have to leave to get a taste of the islands. The private pool is amazing and the open air kitchen living room area is hard to get away from. Also, the daily cleaning staff was very friendly and barely noticed they were there.

Simply marvelous!

Our family decided to getaway from winter blues and found this amazing villa to spend our first week of 2018 together, and we could not have found a more perfect house! Always stressful to travel as a large group of 10 which included 2 infants and an active toddler, we were put at ease before even stepping on the plane en route to St. Lucia. We were put in touch with someone who handled provisions delivery and connected us with a fantastic chef who had the whole house smelling fantastic and dinner prepared as soon as we stepped through the doors upon arrival! Our luck, the owners, Beth and Richard, were there as well who gave us insight about their favorite St. Lucia spots and answered any questions we had during the week, even connecting us to the groundskeeper, Ish, who provided us with fresh seafood so we could cook together as a family one night in a chef's dream kitchen! The pool and deck were perfect for the days we wanted to read and relax, with plenty of sunshine and breeze. The house was kept clean and there were house keepers every day except on Sunday; we all grew to love Liza and Denise! The grounds were beautiful and you are surrounded by lush greenery, but still had an incredible view of the ocean from the house with the always welcome breeze from the sea! We decided not to rent a car and used Big Runner to take us all around the island - shout out to Franklin for taking great care of us! As a few reviewers have mentioned, there is a rocky beach close by and a 10-15 minute walk to the Sandals La Toc beach, which we did take our kids to. Even though Sandals is an adults only resort, the beaches in St. Lucia are public and we had plenty of space adjacent to the resort grounds to spend an afternoon swimming and sunbathing. The island is absolutely breathtaking! This house, the owners, and the staff were wonderful and top notch, and are a true reflection of St. Lucian charm. Having gotten back late last night, I am already itching to get back!
