Wonderful Stay in Nevis
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time on the island. This property is secluded and near many restaurants and beaches. Beautiful home, gardens and pool area. The host was amazing and helped with transfers, local recommendations and ensured our time was spent relaxing. Can't wait to return. Cheers! Chad, Anne and family

Fantastic property and very responsive staff
Property even more picturesque than advertised. Truly special landscaping, with many exotic and beautiful plants. Great view of ocean, very comfortable, very spacious, clean, and modern and literally abutting four seasons golf course. Easy to access four seasons amenities but far roomier and newer accommodations (and a fraction of the price). Prop managers Gareth and Steve super responsive to coordinate transportation and a private chef (very much recommend the chef, Mark, for both the food and stories afterwards, along with is assistant Denise who is a world class jazz singer!). Can be an occasional hiccup as it’s a big house with a lot of systems to maintain, but resolution was rapid (minutes) and responsive. A great value even at this price and a lovely overall stay. Be sure to visit the great restaurants around nevis in the former sugar plantations. Drift, Montpelier, and Golden Rocks were all fantastic locations/views with even better food. Scuba diving in nearby St Kitts also recommended with several shipwrecks. In all, a big thumbs up.

Family Spring Break 2023
Home and amenities were amazing! Our family enjoyed our time at The Retreat. The location and view cannot be compared with any other property on the island. A true gem!!! This was our 4th Trip to Nevis and first time renting a home on Nevis. Our family is already planning our next vacation at the Retreat. The house and property are meticulously clean. Plenty of room throughout the home with multiple seating areas for relaxing or dinner on the patio overlooking the Caribbean. Location is less than 5 minute drive from the Four Seasons, multiple beaches and restaurants. The Retreat also offers beautiful landscapes gardens, large pool, spa and gazebo. Our family enjoyed the daily afternoon visit from the Vervet Monkeys on the island. A bonus was a workout room in the home. The Property Manager, Steve and our driver, Hollywood made the trip special. Steve would check in on us to make sure everything was perfect during our stay and Hollywood was available to drive us anywhere on the island within a moments notice. A nice touch was the owners of The Retreat reaching out to us at the beginning and during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed to make our trip special. Thanks again to all for making our family vacation memorable! We cannot wait for our next trip to Nevis and our stay at The Retreat.

Three Master Suites With Privacy
We enjoyed our stay at The Retreat! The house easily accommodated three adult couples with privacy for all. The house and property are kept very clean and the many different seating areas were perfect for six of us. The location is excellent with great views.

About the host

Hosted by Gareth Lloyd

Host profile image
I live in Bath, UK and was the previous owner of The Retreat from 2007 to 2022 when I oversaw its remodelling into the beautiful property it is today and which the current owners have continued to invest in as their new home.

When I am not helping ensure that guests at The Retreat have the best possible experience of their time on Nevis, I can be found exercising, cycling or pursuing other vain attempts to hold back the years!

Why they chose this property

I settled on creating a second home on Nevis after many years of travelling to different Caribbean islands. The authentic culture and natural beauty of the island together with that extra 10 minute ‘hop’ from St Kitts makes it a very special place to escape the ‘bling’ or the crowds of other developed Caribbean tourist locations. We hope you can relate to this experience and what first attracted us to this jewel in the Caribbean.

What makes this property unique

The Retreat is in such an incredible location - so close to the Four Seasons resort and all of its facilities and the other restaurants and beach bars along Pinneys Beach whilst at the same time it provides guests with secure, private grounds and living spaces with extensive ocean views and a level of luxury and amenities that are second to none.
