Tranquil, Elegant & Private Group & Family Vacation Rental in St Lucia

The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Tourism in St. Lucia have certified that RayHope House has implemented the protocols, staff training, and safeguards required to safely host guests during the covid-19 pandemic.

RayHope House offers privacy, tranquility, and seclusion combined with convenient access to shopping, restaurants, beaches, and activities. The house is just ten minutes from Rodney Bay with its shopping malls, grocery stores, exquisite restaurants, and the best nightlife the island has to offer. Pigeon Island National Park, the picturesque and widely acclaimed Rodney Bay Marina, the Rodney Bay Aquatic, Health and Fitness Center, and Reduit Beach are all just minutes away from RayHope.

Castries, St.Lucia's capital city is a twenty-five minute drive south of RayHope. Visiting Castries and walking around to take in the local scene is highly recommended. Visitors will find an intriguing combination of fresh local vegetables and fruits, local crafts and souvenirs, and a wide variety of local eats at the Castries market. Nearby Port Castries is one of the most popular cruise ship destinations in the Caribbean. Within easy walking distance visitors will find La Place Carenage and the Point Seraphine Shopping Complex which offer fine dinning and duty-free shopping.

RayHope is a two-story house that includes vaulted ceilings, bamboo flooring in all areas except the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry. In addition to its location on a quiet cul-de-sac, the property is secured by a state of the art wireless security system and remote controlled gated entrances.

The spacious ground floor includes a large study, fully equipped kitchen, laundry, half bath, plus dining, living and family rooms that are fully furnished with an enticing mix of tropical and classic furniture.

The kitchen is fully functional with stainless steel appliances including a side-by-side refrigerator with ice maker, glass-top stove with oven, a microhood, and dishwasher. A range of small appliances including coffee maker, toaster, and electric kettle are ready for use.

In addition to a master bedroom and two other bedrooms suites, the upper floor includes a spacious study/bedroom and two balconies that offer excellent views of the enchanting scenery that surrounds RayHope. One of these is a private balcony that can only be accessed via the master bedroom. The master bedroom suite includes a large king-sized bed, delightful furniture, walk-in his and her closets, and a Jacuzzi.

A second bedroom suite offers a queen sized bed while a third super-sized bedroom suite includes two queen sized beds. In addition, the upstairs study has been converted into a bedroom with a queen sized bed that can comfortably accommodate two adults. Finally, two futons in the the very large downstairs study provide elegant seating by day and comfortable double beds when required.

With the exception of the upstairs study/bedroom which has a ceiling fan, all major spaces in the house are air conditioned and have ceiling fans. This combination of air conditioning and ceiling fans allows occupants to choose their preferred method to control climate within the house and ensure that you will never be uncomfortable. The windows and doors are carefully positioned to maximize the flow of caressing tropical breezes right through the house.

Lots of balcony space, a swimming pool, deck chairs, and carefully manicured gardens ensure that occupants will relish spending time outside enjoying the warm sunshine and seductive tropical breezes that blow in from the Atlantic.

Fantastic Holiday

Place was in great shape. I was slightly worried because the pics on VRBO were time stamped 2012, but I should not worried at all, place was as nice or nicer than the pics represent. It was spacious. This was our first time to St Lucia, and it was fantastic. Ruth was "Johnny on the spot" whenever we needed anything, if fact she had beers and water in the frige when we arrived, a very nice touch. .

Elizabeth, Thank you for your very favorable review of the accomodations we provide at RayHope House. Your group is the first group we have hosted whose primary purpose for visiting St Lucia was work instead of vacation. We have always felt that the accomodations we provide would work well for any group that wants to work while in St Lucia including those who might want to work remotely for a few weeks or months. As such, we are very happy to note that RayHope house worked well for your group of professionals. As part of our ongoing efforts to continually improve the accomodations we provide, we are in the process of adding amenities that we believe would enhance the experience for those wishing to work remotely. Thank you for each of the five stars and for being great guests. We understand that you had many attractive alternatives and are grateful that you chose RayHope House. Should your future plans include another visit to St. Lucia, we will be happy to host you and hope you will consider us. Prosper

"Big Family Vacation" at Ray of Hope January 2018

Great place to stay for a large family; we had 13 people, including 4 young children. The villa was beautiful, clean, well stocked, and a fantastic place to stay. The pool was great, and the grounds were maintained beautifully. Prosper took very good care of us, arranging transportation from airport, and a dedicated chauffeur, who was at our "beck and call"; his name was Johnnie. He was very professional, and we felt safe having him drive us all over the island. We highly recommend staying at this lovely villa, and can't wait to return. Dennis and Anne

Dennis and Anne, on behalf of myself and the RayHope team in St. Lucia, thank you for being excellent guests and for your unqualified positive assessment of RayHope house and the amenities and services we offer. We are particularly pleased that you enjoyed your vacation in St Lucia and that we played a small part in ensuring that outcome. Every member of the team takes great pride in each of the five stars you awarded us. We appreciate your observation that RayHope house is an excellent choice for large family groups. There is a two bedroom apartment that is separated from the part of the house that is on offer on this site by double doors. When these doors are opened guests have access to both areas. Anne and Dennis found out about it from reading about the experience of a previous group and requested that we make it available to them. We were happy to do so. For prospective guests whose group size exceeds twelve or would like an additional two bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, dining and living areas please do not hesitate to request this addition. We have been fortunate in assembling a very committed team at RayHope. I am personally very proud of the commitment to excellence displayed by every single member of the team (host, housekeeper, gardener, poolman, and taxi driver) in hosting our guests. We are vigilant in our efforts to identify opportunities to improve so I expect that we will get even better. Thank you for choosing RayHope and we look forward to your return. Prosper

Awesome vacation home!

St Lucia is extremely beautiful and Ray Hope House was our own little retreat when we wanted to spend time with our family over the holidays. Plenty of room, our own pool (!), close to shopping and several beautiful beaches. Where else can you have a cleaning lady, gardener and pool guy in a private home while vacationing on a beautiful, sunny, tropical island. The listing is totally accurate with the photos showing the home and property as they are. I would recommend Ray Hope House readily to family and friends, and already have friends asking about it after they saw all of the photos that we took of the island.
Response from VrboOwner on 9 Apr, 2020
Thank you Dianne for sharing your family's experience at RayHope House and for your unqualified endorsement of the package we offer. We worked very hard to ensure the accuracy of the description of RayHope House in the listing and are pleased to note that you found it to be "totally accurate". The RayHope team is committed to making RayHope House the best combination of quality and value among vacation rental homes in St. Lucia. Given your family's wide experience as consumers of vacation rental homes, we place a very high value on each of the five stars you have awarded RayHope House. However, we are not about to rest on our laurels and continue to make adjustments to ensure that future guests will have an even better experience than your family had. Thank you for being great vacation renters. Prosper

Fantastic stay in Gros Islet

We had a really great stay at Rayhope House. Everything was great. We were a family of 6 and there was plenty of room and bathrooms for everyone to have their own space. There was also plenty of sitting room inside and outside the house. There was a nice veranda and place to lay out around pool. The kitchen was also nicely updated. Ruth the property manager was also easily available and was there to greet us upon arrival. We also used Albert for transportation. We booked him for the whole week. That worked out very well because within 20 minutes we always had a ride to the store, beach or attractions, The benefit with having a driver you can go to the attractions on your schedule. We would definitely recommend Rayhope House to other people and if in St. Lucia again we would stay at this property again.

Disappointing

The house needs maintenance and is older than it looks. The pool is no larger than a postage stamp and location to beach and restaurants is definitely not walking distance. We had to have a taxi driver on hand for $200/day which was mandatory. The dishwasher never worked and only one sink in master bath worked.
Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2019
Response from VrboOwner on 16 Mar, 2020
Linda, the Rayhope team believes that your professed disappointment with RayHope house is a reflection of the fact that you took umbrage to our request for an explanation for how a bed and chair were broken during your stay. However, we regret that the dishwasher did not work for you and that there was some kind of blockage to one of the two sinks in the master bedroom. We have resolved both problems and would have done so during your stay if we had been informed in a timely fashion. With the exception of the above discrepancies, we delivered every service/convenience we promised. The house; its location relative to restaurants, beaches, stores etc; the size of pool; and all other aspects of the house are exactly as depicted. In this regard, the group that stayed at the house just two months before you noted “The home was everything we expected”. Your unsubstantiated assertion that “the house needs maintenance and is older than it looks” is inconsistent with the following. 1. The 10 reviewers that preceded you, repeatedly noted that the house and grounds are very well maintained. 2. Most exterior surfaces of the house were repainted in August 2019. 3. A roofer performed routine maintenance in Aug 2019 and certified that the roof was in pristine condition. 4. A fresh coat of paint was applied to the interior surfaces in the downstairs area 2 weeks before your stay. 5. A brand new stove was installed 2 weeks before your stay. 6. Most of the downstairs flooring was replaced or refurbished two weeks before your stay. 7. Every living space in the house has an AC unit and ceiling fan. Everyone of them was in prime working condition during your stay. 8. The age of the house not a mystery. This site clearly states that the house was custom built to our specifications and delivered to us in 2007. Per your request and as a courtesy to you, I arranged for Albert to provide transportation for your group of 12. Hiring Albert was not mandatory, but it was the most sensible alternative for a group of 11 adults and a teenager. You could have rented and driven the two large SUVs that would have been necessary to transport your group at a rental rate of US$140 per day per car. For $200/day, Albert drove you from the airport to the house and back to the airport ( each trip that would cost at least US180.00), was at your group’s beck and call 24/7, provided free advice on places to visit & eat, and took you all over the island.

St. Lucian Vacation

We recently spent a 10 day family vacation in St. Lucia. We stayed at the RayHope House and honestly could not have asked for more. We were a party of 9 including 6 adults, two children and an infant. The house is large and spacious and easily accommodated us and our needs. The bedrooms as well were spacious and equipped with air conditioning as was the rest of the house. Our grandkids (5&7) absolutely loved the pool and spent a ton of time playing in it while we lounged on the pool deck. The yard is beautiful and meticulously maintained. We had three rented vehicles, all of which easily fit in the driveway within the gated yard. The location in Rodney Bay is fantastic and very near all necessary amenities including grocery shopping, excellent restaurants and beaches suitable for all ages. Last but definitely not least is the property manager, Ruth, who is an absolute gem. She was there waiting to welcome us upon our arrival and there again to wish us well on our departure. She also worked around our schedule to attend on a couple occasions and provide cleaning services which were second to none. She availed herself to us for anything we needed including providing "tips" on local restaurants, spas and places to go and see. We highly recommend the RayHope House for your St. Lucian vacation.

Large, comfortable property in quiet area

We enjoyed eight days at Ray Hope House in Dec 21/Jan 22. The property is very spacious. Four bedrooms, three of which are en-suite. Additionally, there are two lounge areas, a kitchen and a dining room (and study if you need it). Decent aircon throughout. The photos on this site give a good overview. There is a small pool in the garden, which is nice for cooling off in. The property is in a quiet area (Bonne Terre), near the cricket ground, and only a five minute drive from Rodney Bay (beach and restaurants). It felt very secure. Ruth and Prosper went out of their way to make us feel at home. Communication from the outset was prompt and helpful. We were just a couple, but the property would suit a large family or two small families. We rented a car as we like our independence/privacy (go for a SUV; the island is very hilly). We found this easy, but I understand the hosts can arrange a driver. Recommended.

Fantastic house

Spent a week in Gros Islet/Rodney Bay area in this lovely home. The owner, Prosper, was always available to us even though he was away. We had a hot water issue which was solved and one or two other very minor things and Prosper responded immediately. He has a great team and Ruth often popped by to make sure we had everything we needed. The house is large, clean, beautiful grounds, fully equipped. You definitely need a car or a driver as it's up a very high hill. Prosper recommended Albert for the week and he was a brilliant driver able to negotiate around tons of holiday traffic on small winding roads. To learn more about the island though, i would suggest doing a tour of some sort as well. We had a great time in this bright cheery home. It looks just as good inside and outside as the photos demonstrate. The air conditioning in the rooms definitely helped drown out any noises outside. We would all highly recommend this gorgeous rental.

Fantastic Location and Great Experience

The location of the Rental property was fantastic. The pool and the facility was clean and the folks helping us at the facility had fantastic service. They left us a cell phone at the airport for us to pick up and use in case we got lost on the trip from the airport to the location. I was very happy that they also provided directions. The location was close enough to go down and enjoy the block party, Rodney Bay, and all the great restaurants in the area. There was a group of 8 of us and there was plenty of space to fit us all and the building had both Caribbean and US power connectors. The Wifi worked well while we were there also. There was plenty of towels to use and the facilities were great. A/C was also provided. It was a very relaxing vacation.

Johnny; Thanks for taking the time to review your stay at RayHope House. Everyone on the RayHope team has seen your review and we are all very pleased that your experience at RayHope House led you to give us a five-star rating. Our philosophy is that RayHope House should feel like a home away from home for our guests. To achieve this we constructed and furnished the house to ensure comfort. As such all spaces have AC and/or fans; lots of space in bedrooms, hallways, sitting areas, and balconies; lots of clean linen, plush bedding, sofas, and chairs; and a properly equipped kitchen. At RayHope we believe that feeling at home means that our guest should have reliable access to the internet and should be able to use their electronic devices in much the same way they would at home. Consequently, we insisted on both 110 (US) and 220 (Caribbean, UK, ..) outlets and installed WIFI with two range extenders ensuring high quality WIFI in all rooms, balconies, and next to the pool. We appreciate that you had other alternatives and thank you for choosing RayHope. Your outstanding review will help us get the word out on the excellence of our location and the high quality accommodations available at RayHope House.

Family Vacation to St. Lucia

My family and I decided to visit St. Lucia with our aging mother. We wanted to see the Island through her eyes. What a wonderful experience we had! Staying at RayHope house was one of the best decisions we made. Mr Prosper Raynold made the process so easy and had a wonderful treat at the house upon our arrival (smile). The site is accurate in its description of the amenities. The location is great (it is about 10 minutes from the mall and grocery store). The property is clean and well maintained (came with a housekeeper, pool man and gardener), but most importantly, Mr. Prosper Raynold and his property manager were always available when we called and they addressed our needs immediately. We are sharing our wonderful experiences at RayHope house with our friends and family. By the way, a few of our friends are already making plans to visit because of our great report and of course, our beautiful pictures. We highly recommend this property and plan on staying again.

Thank you Anysia for your ringing, five-star endorsement of the RayHope House and the RayHope team. I am very happy that I made the decision to make the additional two bedroom apartment (not featured in the listing) available to accommodate your group of 15. Since we had not done that before, it was a bit of an experiment that your comments suggest worked very well. Consequently, we plan to make the additional apartment available to groups ranging from 13 to 15 in the future. The RayHope team works really hard to ensure that our guest have error free stays at RayHope by testing all systems in the house prior to the arrival of every group and by immediately fixing any problems. We are gratified that you appreciated these efforts. Thank you for choosing RayHope House and we look forward to serving you in the future. Prosper
