Quiet Villa in a Tropical Setting
The Villa is a spacious home with an equipped kitchen and several sitting areas inside and out. It's quite private, with its own (small) pool and deck; it's less than 15 minutes' drive to Rodney Bay which has many restaurants and shopping venues. There are a couple of friendly resident cats who come and go as they please - a bonus for our group (all cat lovers) as they provided daily entertainment, including stealing our breakfast one morning when our "chef" turned his back!Nancy the house cleaner (and pool lady) is very friendly and will try to take care of any of your requests. She seems to show up three days a week, so if you need stuff (clean towels, etc.) you have to plan around that. One day Nancy showed up with a young man who presented us with green coconuts ready to be opened for coconut water and "jelly" flesh for snacks.Rob Taylor is an interesting character with a lot on the go, and a source of much information - he is very quick to respond to text messages. Rob also provides musical entertainment at some of the better restaurants in the area and you should try to catch one of his shows. Something lacking in the Villa is a "What to do in St. Lucia / Gros Islet" list/pamphlet. In summary, the Villa offers a quiet tropical retreat with easy access (rental car a must) to beaches, shops and lots of eateries. Some visitors might prefer a more "ready-made" resort shared with a multitude of guests, but if you want your own space, then this fits the bill.
