“What a gem....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2013

This was our first trip to St. Lucia. We did not want to stay in a big resort, in my searching I found VBC, we just returned home after 17 nights of pure pleasure, We were not disappointed, the room was spacious, very clean, 2nd floor, end unit, sun settings were beautiful. Everyone at VBC from Colin on down where helpful, friendly and knew us by our name not room #. The cab drivers provided by VBC were very friendly and we always got a good history lesson about St. Lucia. The beach was very inviting and clean. We were in walking distance of two grocery stores. Next door was The Wharf Restuarant, great food, large portions and very reasonable prices. Lisa will greet you at the door, dad does the cooking and Colonel is behind the bar. Try the homemade cheesecake. It was an enjoyable stress free trip, VBC handled everything for us. If you are thinking about going to St. Lucia, check out VBC, you will not be disappointed, also family friendly. We will return and stay at VBC.

Room Tip: 2nd floor,end unit, over looking the beach.

“Paradise in St. Lucia”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 7, 2013

My husband and I rented a first floor 2 bedroom villa at VBC with another couple for a week and what a special place we discovered. The owner, Colin Hunte, met with us for approximately an hour and gave us so many wonderful tips regarding restaurants and tours.The office staff, groundsmen and cab drivers were all so friendly and helpful and made us feel right at home. We spent a great deal of time with our cab driver, Ali, and we thoroughly enjoyed his company. He was a great tour guide and a very safe driver. Our villa was so large and well equipped. We intended to just have coffee in our room and go out for meals because we were on vacation. We ended up eating breakfast on our patio, snacks in the afternoon, and brought in a couple of dinners. Although we thoroughly enjoyed touring the Island, we looked forward to returning to our slice of paradise at VBC. It was so mesmerizing watching the sunsets from our patio or sitting on the lounge chairs by the pool. We just loved it!

Room Tip: Any room facing the magnificent view.

“Great find!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 6, 2013

We stayed at Villa Beach Cottages for a week and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, between Rodney Bay and Castries. Very convenient to both and the local grocery stores. The cottage itself was set on a beautiful beach and was relaxing and met all our needs. I would highly recommend this property.

“A Wonderful Holiday in a Great Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2013

We stayed for 5 nights in a sea front top floor villa (Room 2). It was wonderful. The villa is right on the beach with a lovely balcony and amazing views. We enjoyed watching the sun set over the Caribbean Sea with a glass of wine every evening. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach which was about 10m away. The wifi worked well and sitting on the balcony speaking to our relations in the UK was surreal !

We ate out at the Wharf next door. Do not be put off by the decor; the food was excellent. We also took taxis organised by reception to local restaurants in Rodney Bay and Coal Pot in Castries. Claudius the taxi driver (provided by the hotel) on a number of occasions and was always courteous and helpful. There is very well stocked supermarket within walking distance.

Colin, the owner, spent an hour talking to us about his property and the things to see on the island the day after we arrived and we used this invaluable information to tour the island.

Nadia and all the staff at reception without exception were always smiling and extremely helpful. We hired a car through the hotel at very reasonable rates.

All in all, we would highly recommend this and will certainly come again.

Room Tip: Room 2 top level beachfront - highly recommended

“Personable and nice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 27, 2013

We stayed in Villa Beach cottages in Feb 2013 and we were very happy with our stay!
The apartment was nice and directly on the beach. Spacious and clean.
what made the stay special was the people working there though - they were very personable and incredibly helpful! We would definitely go back!
A real gem :-)

Room Tip: The beach front villas are the best
