Absolutely stunning! Beautiful house with at least 270 degree panorama of Mount Scenery the ocean hills roads in distance Also Eustacia, st Kitts and Nevis. House is perfect. All appliances super cold fridge. Washer dryer available if you need and ask for it. Large deck outside gazebo BBQ great furnishing. Enormous tile shower. House would be ok for walking impaired once up the stairs. We have stars in Many VRBO houses but this one blew them all away. My wife already has the calendar loaded into favorites. Dive shop Saba divers came to driveway to get us every day and both the manager Mr. Johnson and his assistant Jobie were great about any arrangements. Both management and Saba divers will pre stock with food and beverages if you email them. Is one of the most prestigious places to stay though we just picked it out and did not know that. A well to do couple from Texas were on shuttle cab from diving. They were newly weds and when we were being dropped off asked if they could get out and have a picture taken due to the stunning view. Super filtered and UV sterilizer drinking water full kitchen with dishes. Remember any food you need. We had to buy salt but left enough to cover this year. Also cream and sugars. Is mr. Coffee not a Keurig. Great freezer but fill the ice trays. Goats wander around as well as an iguana. The original owners grave is on site. Quant outdoor tub right on cliff edge. Cool after dark but great at sunset. It is breezy. Take jackets. Super safe and clean island. Very Eco conscious population. The owner mr Gibbs replies to emails promptly as does his manager mr Johnson. Mr Johnson runs a grocery there as well. Nothing open but restaurants on Sunday. Is a bit of a walk up a steep road from tow but doable. Can walk down take cab up with groceries. Cabs are around but you have to call them they are not easily hailed. House has a free hard wired phone for that and listing of cabs restaurant dive shops on counter
An incredible view in an excellent location with a fantastic property manager. What more do you need to know?
Mark (the property manager) was extremely helpful and responsive during our time at Spyglass. We stayed in contact via WhatsApp both before and during our stay. I don't think I ever waited longer than 10min for a response. He made excellent food and activity recommendations, arranged for a rental car to be delivered to the property, had our laundry done on request, and handled the delivery of our groceries. In addition to all of that, we had a delightful conversation or three.
Also, regarding the view: the pictures cannot do it justice. Believe me, I tried to capture it a hundred times on my camera. Every 10 minutes you'll look out, feel compelled to capture the moment, and try again.
I could go on and on, but bottom line: If Spyglass is available during the dates you'll be staying on Saba, you'd be a fool not to book it. My only regret in writing this is that we'll need to compete with you for dates when booking our stay next year.
Unlike any other Caribbean island (seriously), Saba can truly boast that they have the cleanest, most peaceful atmosphere and of course the best hightop villa with outstanding panoramic ocean views.
Saba is truly unique! Where else would I behold grave stones in a back or side yard. Saba is so small and all land has been owned for generations, so I enjoyed reading the history of Spyglass Villa and marveled at how the current owner was able to so thoughtfully recreate a sea cottage with mixed European styles on the ruins of the original owner's homestead.
Wonderful experience for visitors who crave a relaxing cultural vacation.
Be sure to bring all toiletries and expect to pay handsomely for groceries since getting food to Saba is expensive. Buy extra cartons of eggs. They sell out in a hurry and don't come in but once a week!
Enjoy spotting the bunnies in the wild. A population explosion once the domestics got loose and never came home!

We have visited gorgeous islands all over the world, but have never stayed in such an amazing villa as Spyglass. It is difficult to put into words what is visible from the balcony. Ocean, volcano and rain forest - all in one sweep of the eyes. As if that's not enough, the elevation and strategic construction, provide a constant flow of cool, clean air. With unobstructed views of the sunrise and sunset, we hardly left home except to dive. The interior is so open it never lets you forget what is outside waiting for you. Spyglass is worth every penny, and paid us in return with a vacation to remember.

Really nice home sitting right on the edge of a mountain overlooking the Ocean. Great location in walking distance to Windward Side which is a great little town with some great restaurants, dive shop, bakery, and really anything you need. The view from Spyglass is breathtaking. The house has everything you could need. Very nice, clean, with tons of amenities. It's a luxury accommodation.

The Spyglass Villa is probably one of the best villas on Saba. When we got out of the airport and into a taxi, our taxi driver when told where we were staying, said: "Oh, you are staying in the best villa on Saba!" The views from the villa are stunning and breathtaking! We wanted to sit on that porch morning, day and night! The villa offers a great kitchen, and the bedrooms and bathrooms are great as well. Everywhere is very clean. Jovie (the house attendant) was there every day to clean it and put it all back in order (Thank you, Jovie!). The villa is a very short walk from the town (Windwardside) and from restaurants and grocery stores). It is also very close to the volcano hike (Mt. Scenery). I absolutely recommend Spyglass Villa!!
