THE GREAT HOUSE | SPACIOUS & INVITING WITH PANORAMIC VIEW OF MARIGOT BAY

Words can not explain how much we enjoyed our stay in St. Lucia at "The Great House". We rented this beautiful house for the full month of February 2012. The house is large and very comfortable, well equipped and well furnished. The house wait staff (maid service and gardener/pool caretaker) were top notch and very friendly. Both willing to work around our times of convenience. We had complete privacy as needed at the same time complete service. The fairly constant breeze on the mountain side was warm and inviting. Temperatures stayed around 80 - 83 degrees during the day and our many times around the pool were really enjoyed. The amenities are all there. Pool deck furniture, lounge cushions, fresh towels, propane BBQ all well maintained and clean. The pool is treated every-other day.
The house has an upper and lower self contained units with a full kitchen in both. During our stay our friends had the privacy and comfort of their own unit below and were very pleased with the accommodations. The house is up on a hill side and the walk down to the Marina/Grocery Store, Bank, Cafe' and some shops takes about 10 minutes. Good walk shoes (runners) are necessary for the walk. Walking up is a bit more strenuous ans is not for the faint of heart. However, taxi's are readily available (during the day) to take you back to the house for $10 US. Taxi's are pretty much necessary wherever you want to go and all prices are either set or negotiated with the driver. In our opinion renting a car was out of the question as the roads are very narrow and the driving is on the left side. We felt it would have been too stressful to drive ourselves. The St. Lucian people are very friendly and we never felt uncomfortable or threatened in any way. As with anywhere you go - common sense dictates where you should go and when. Marigot Bay has to be (in our opinion) the most beautiful spot on the island. Drinking your morning coffee and looking over the bay is breath-taking. I wish we were back there. One of the best restaurants on the island is right in Marigot Bay - it's called the Rainforest Hideaway. Simply unbelievably good food and excellent service - 5 star all the way. For very good local cuisine we really enjoyed Julietta's Restaurant at the top of the Bay. Other parts of the island are really nice as well and a visit to the Pitons is a must. Rodney Bay has a wide variety of shops and restaurants and an up scale casino. Well that's it my time is up -go -go go.

Endroit idéal pour le repos. Vue extraordinaire sur la baie. Condos très bien équipés. Personnel chaleureux et courtois. Facilité de transport de l'aéroport et dans la baie. Belle île à parcourir en voiture.
