We are two professionals having lived and worked for major companies in Europe and the Middle East and spent the times that we could holidaying abroad.
Saint Lucia became the place that we enjoyed the most for example Jazz in May, Carnival in June, Christmas and New Year plus all the in-between moments that time off from work would allow.
We are now fortunate to call it home.
Hector Joseph purchased this villa in 2012
This property provided for us the perfect home. It's panoramic view showcasing Pigeon Island, the richness of nature that at night transformed itself into a sea of lights took our breath away. To top it all the silhouetted figure of Martinique in the distance is visible....stunning!
What more could we ask for...this is home to us and we wanted to share that piece of paradise.
We love meeting new people and have created a home from home environment where our guests can enjoy their surroundings in comfort and private.
We are here to make your holiday an unforgettable, stress free experience. Start by allowing us to arrange your transfer from the airport, arrange your car rental, organise your tours, guide you to the best restaurants and places to visit. We have amazing deals on car rentals and work with the tour operators to get you amazing deals.
To us the unique benefits is it's beauty, we are romantics at heart and as a couple this would be the perfect place to 'tie the knot'. The picturesque surroundings gives rise to the most wonderful heartfelt peace that one could ever imagine, the perfect backdrop for that photo or bit of memory you could never forget. We always marvel at how it never ceases to amaze us and even though it's part of us now, it's still makes me think 'wow' every day. The deck and pool area is beautifully arranged to chill out, read, sun batch or simple take in the views.
Hector and Gail were wonderful hosts. From meeting us at check in and explaining where to find the bank, shopping, beaches, dive shop, etc.... to introducing us to the local fish fry at Duke’s Place.
The apartment amenities, large deck and pool area, and superb views were even better than the pictures and everything exceeded our expectations.
We found the location ideal, in that we were able to walk to grocery shopping, restaurants, and Reduit Beach all within a 25 min radius. The climb up the hill to the Villa we found to be great exercise… But for anyone not so inclined, Hector does offer a vehicle available for rent.
We will be recommending this accommodation to friends and family… And we would definitely stay with Hector and Gail again.
On our first trip to St Lucia, we stayed at a hotel and spent most of our time by the pool. We often had to wait for the best poolside seats to come available, and ended up eating the tasty but not very healthy poolside bar food every day for lunch.
On our second trip, we decided to try a Homeaway stay, and we are so glad we did. We got the poolside relaxation we wanted along with so much more. Privacy, space, a wonderful view, the ability to cook for ourselves when we wanted to, and of course the friendly hosting of Hector and Gale.
Some specifics for anyone considering booking:
-It's about a 10 minute walk in to town or to a supermarket; a fine excursion
-Being up in the hills means you get a breeze when it is very hot down on the flats - this was an unexpected bonus
-There are a few different deck/poolside seating options meaning you can vary your mix of sun and shade as you like
-The hammock was especially comfortable!
Only concerns to note, to give the full picture-
-Many in the neighborhood (and across the island) have dogs, and you will hear some barking from time to time
-The walk in to town is not especially gorgeous/resort-like - at some point you are walking alongside the road. We did this most days, weren't quite sure the first day whether we were going the best way, but did not think about it much after that
Other than that - go to Duke's and the jump-up on Friday, go to Spinnaker's and Delirius for beachside food and for cocktails, go to the Massy Gourmet grocery store for hometown needs - and buy some sunscreen, even if you are in the shade the sun reflecting off the pool can creep up on you!
The last thing to say is that Hector and Gale and the rest of their team are wonderful hosts - we had the chance to check in with someone every day if needed, and they also gave us a local cell phone to use throughout our visit so we could reach them 24/7. We never had any issue that made us need to call, but it was a great above and beyond touch.
Hope this review is helpful to others in deciding to have as good of a visit as we did.
Where to start,
Hector greeted us upon arrival and helped to get us settled in as we arrived 3 hours late because of plane delays. He suggested we go down to the bay and eat at Mathews which was great. We took a cab back for $10 USD or $20EC. Hector greeted us the next morning and gave us the lay of the land with many great suggestions for restaurants and sites to see. The condo was comfortable, quiet, clean and absolutely perfect with your own pool. The view was OUTSTANDING.
The Marina and Rodney Bay are only about a 15 minute walk from the condo and a supermarket is only about 10 minutes. Bring runners because it is a steep hill to get back to the house or simply cab it or rent a car. Hector actually has a little Suzuki sidekick that he rents out that is great. Most mornings we ran from the condo to the end of Rodney Bay and back for a little over 5k with hills! Awesome run and just enough. I would caution that if you don’t like walking/climbing hills that you might want to rent a car or taxi it to and from Rodney Bay or the Marina. The marina has a few restraunts as well, our favorite was Elena's. Fantastic pizza, salads,blt's and wine etc.
A few days in we met Hector’s wife Gale and she was just as lovely as Hector but better looking! Hector and his brother took us to the Friday night fish fry with another couple and we had an awesome time. Hector drove us to a very posh resort the next day and got us a visitor pass where we stayed for a great afternoon. The rest of our stay we toured the island for a few days and went to Soufriere by sidekick. The ride was not for the faint of heart as it is through the mountains but worth it, even though I had to endure hearing my wife whimper for a few hours that I was going to drive us off a cliff. We did a full day excursion by catamaran that was pretty cool as well.
Make sure you climb Pigeon Island and on the way back down hit up this cool little bar next to the beach for lunch and drinks. This place was ideal for us as we are independent and private people, however; Hector and Gale were always around when needed but never intruded except to ask if everything was ok.
We are well traveled and this stay was in our top 3 for locations and destinations.
We will definitely be back (If they have us ;)!

We really enjoyed our stay here! Hector & Gale are both lovely people; not intrusive at all and, since we had no neighbor while we were there, it felt like we had everything to ourselves! The pool was lovely and the multiple times a week cleaning of the suite (thanks Ezra!) was a bonus. The grounds were well tended by Antony. Many restaurants, bars, shopping, Reduit Beach, etc. all within 10 minutes max of the unit with Pigeon Island less than 15 minutes away. Driving further south than Castries can be tough going but we did Marigot Bay for a day and also drove all the way to Soufriere but took a boat there on our second visit. Keep in mind that this is truly a self service place; 1 roll of toilet paper, no paper towel, etc. No big deal, just something to keep in mind. The dog barked quite a bit but, after I found out that he listened when I told him to "shhh" that ended up being fine, too, lol. Tip: definitely use their driver, Kenrick, to get you from the airport. Unless you've been to St Lucia before and know exactly what you're doing, that would be a total hassle after a long travel day. Plus Kenrick is the best! No regrets in choosing RBS! Thanks so much Hector & Gale! Tom & Clark
We stayed in this suite over the Christmas season and it was everything we had hoped and more. The suite was well appointed but the best part for us northeners was the fantastic outside! The pool, the patio and the little outside sitting area were spectacular. Hector and Gaye were wonderful and made sure we were happy and comfortable. We had a really good time and would highly recommend St Lucia in general and this property in particular.

The villa needs a bit of tlc, cupboard handles were loose, the main entrance door handle fell off on the first day, some lights came on, some did not and there was little to no hot water.
The outside space is nice, sunbeds were good quality.
The pool was nice and cool although we had to request it was cleaned during our stsy.
Overall a reasonable week but our peace and quiet was disturbed by work men sanding or moving scaffolding or by the guard dog that barked at any visitors.
We are fortunate to be in the heart of Rodney Bay with all it has to offer but perched on the hillside overlooking it all, far away enough to be outside of the bustle in a quiet zone! Down the hill from us is the famous Rodney Bay Village, located in the northwest St Lucia. With numerous restaurants, beautiful resorts, thrilling activities and a historically notorious marina (a bay treasured by pirates in the early 1700s and 1800s), it is the area with the most tourist activity.
During the day, the gorgeous beach of Rodney Bay makes any St. Lucia experience memorable. At night, there is something to do for everybody with restaurants, cafes, shops, Bay Walk Mall, night clubs and the exciting new Treasure Bay Casino. Rodney Bay Village is the perfect location to experience the excitement and beauty of Saint Lucia.
Most of our guests take on the challenge of climbing the famous Pigeon Point... Great exercise with breathtaking views when you reach the peak..Well worth the challenge.
Rodney Bay Marina is also a short distance from RBS and is a hip hangout place with its chic cafés, sushi bar and restaurants. Lovely during the day or evening.
The Cap Estate Golf course is also a short distant from us, if you're a lover of gold. Also has a well stocked golf club.
