About this property

Waterfront apartment with large balcony, stunning views of bay and use of pools

Our private, well equipped apartment is located right on the waterfront of The Marina Village complex with its pretty New England styling and looking out to the wonderful Marigot Bay, the Marina, Labas beach and out to the ocean.

You will be located in the hub of the village, close to restaurants and the swimming pools yet with one of the best views of the bay with an ever changing selection of sailing boats and mega yachts moored up or passing by.

Our guests have free use of the two fabulous swimming pools and gym at the luxury Zoetry Wellness and Spa Resort, located right next door to the apartment block. You will be provided with wrist bands for free access to the pools by the hotel reception.

There are a number of restaurants and bars dotted in the village and around the bay where you can enjoy local cuisine, everything from pizzas to fresh lobster, with regular music nights and 2 for 1 happy hours.

Our apartment has all the mod cons you would need for a holiday home, air conditioning, washing machine, dishwasher, free wi-fi, coffee maker, blender, smart TV, DVD player, books and a well equipped kitchen where you can knock up your own Caribbean dishes.

The apartment is accessed off the central Marina Village courtyard by a private gate and stairwell to the first floor, shared only by one other private apartment above it. There is 24 hour security.

You enter a hallway which leads into a stylish, airy, open plan living and dining area with vaulted ceiling and fan. This area includes a newly refurbished open plan kitchen with breakfast bar with stools, dining table with four chairs and comfortable living room with sofa, chairs, smart TV and a study area. The living area leads out onto the balcony so you can keep the doors open and enjoy a gentle breeze. Off this room you will find two spacious bedrooms, both with air con units and ceiling fans.

The principle bedroom has a boutique hotel styled en-suite shower room with two sinks. From the super king size bedstead you can look out over the bay. The second bedroom offer the choice of a super king bed or two singles, ideal for children. There is also a separate WC with fully tiled shower.

Both the living room and principle bedroom have large glazed doors which open out onto a lovely, covered balcony which stretches the whole width of the apartment. Out here you will find comfortable chairs, foot stools and side tables so you can read, snooze, relax and watch the world go by in the bay at a slower pace of life.

You may have the occasional visit from small finches and pretty doves who have learnt that they may get a peanut or two from your hand.

The privately owned apartments are set around the central square which houses The Hurricane Hole restaurant, the Coco Cafe, a small shop and Meraki, an Asian/Mediterranean restaurant. The shop offers some basic provisions and gifts but there are two much larger supermarkets located just 15 minutes drive away.

Although not a large beach, Labas beach is the perfect location if you want to chill out, swim, snorkel, read under the tall palm trees and watch the boats go past into the bay. The beach is accessed by a 2 minute water taxi ride across the bay and has a restaurant, bars, deck chairs and places to hire water sport equipment from.

Remarkable

We had an amazing stay at this property and can't recommend it enough! The location is absolutely perfect—located in between north and south of the island. Makes it easy to travel close to the key attractions yet far enough to offer a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The accommodation itself was lovely, incredibly clean, and well-maintained with all the amenities one needed for a comfortable stay. The airport transfer service was seamless and efficient, making the arrival and departure stress-free. Plus, the boat trip that was offered was a highlight of the trip. Overall, a fantastic place to stay with excellent service, and I’ll definitely be returning! Pauline and her husband were amazing!

Amazing Stay @ Marigot Bay

This place is incredible and just as it looks in pictures. There’s so many things around - great restaurant for evening dining on the second level across the courtyard. Staff is amazing at that restaurant and at the coffee shop below. Across the way on a very quick water taxi ride - there’s DooLittles on the beach. The service is slow but food is good. Karen the owner was so communicative and I was most impressed when the news of Hurricane Beryl came to light that it was coming through Saint Lucia and she reached out directly. Aside from Pauline - her local property manager keeping us informed, they both were assuring that we would be able to have accommodations past our reservation date should the hurricane cause a delay. Talk about wonderful customer service. I truly appreciated the way we were treated and loved this location so much for our family. We do plan on coming back again and would love nothing more than to stay here every time we visit Saint Lucia. Also - don’t be shy to book Pauline’s husband’s private water taxi. We had a blast exploring the beaches along the coastline on his water taxi tour. Cornelius and his son Felix provided us a day to remember!! Highly recommend!!!

Great apartment with excellent views and great for people watching

Overall this was a great apartment to stay in. Marigot bay is beautiful and the views are amazing. The apartment was clean and well furnished. It is close to the Zoetry and we had access to their restaurants and pools. It can get a little loud at night on the weekends, but overall it was pretty peaceful. We enjoyed watching the boats coming in and out of the bay. There were a few minor issues... the washing machine was waiting to be repaired. The property manager accommodated us well with having someone come pick up and wash our clothes, but it was rather frustrating because one of the main reasons we chose to go with this instead of a resort was access to the washer/dryer. We tried to use the dishwasher twice however it just didn't clean the dishes at all, so we ended up having to hand wash the dishes. It appears to be rather old and probably needs to be replaced. The last issue was the master AC started having issues the last night. I informed the property manager the next morning so they should get that taken care of. None of these issues would stop us from staying here again if we have the chance. Both the property manager and Karen were very responsive and accommodating, and we would recommend this place to our friends.

Marigot Bay Vacation

This apartment was exactly as advertised. Clean, spacious, great location. We loved sitting on the large porch and watching the people and boats. Several good choices for dinner within walking distance. Very friendly locals, beautiful island.

Marigot Bay - Considerable Construction Work

Our apartment was beautiful & the bay views glorious from the balcony, by far the best view in Marigot. First impressions superb. Everything matched as per the on-line description. Unfortunately the holiday quickly declined when construction workers turned up Mon 11 July to commence a full Category A shop fit out on the ground floor below space below our apartment. This meant drilling up the concrete floors and ripping out the ceiling.! The work continued for 6 x days and then re-started on Tues 19 Jul everyday until we left on 25 July. The property owner was sympathetic & tried to liaise with the hotel resort owners but to no avail. Following further videos of our inability to hold a conversation in the property and thus remain in the apartment during the day with drilling starting at 08:15 thru 5pm daily, third party reps did meet with the Hotel General Manager who own the ground floor shop space below the apartment . For the last 5 x nights we were put up in the Marina Bay Hotel in a self catering suite with 2 x bedrooms. However the quality and standard was nothing compared to our original apartment :( Complete restoration of the resort is taking place at both the hotel and Marina Village and will mean considerable disruption for many months. The Marina Bay has been taken over by Hyatt Worldwide under the Zoëtry portfolio of hotels and most of the resort is being completely refurbished meaning all the Marina property will be impacted by significant noise and disruption for months to come. Unless you want continual construction at the hotel, Marina or other properties this is a resort to avoid for at least the next 6 + months / end of 2022 Not the holiday experience we wanted. Please know this is NOT the fault of the owner as they have nothing to do with the hotel. They were kind and let us continue to use the apartment once construction had finished at the end of the day. Am afraid we will never come back to St Lucia based on the disregard the hotel has for tourists and customers in the resort generally, But also the complete disregard they hold towards the landlords / owners who rent their properties to tourists. The communication from the hotel to all resort stakeholders is arrogant & un-empathetic. In an age of creating amazing holiday experiences the hotel leadership team are incompetent and lacking EQ.

Great accommodation, great location

The Marina Villa 7a offered a great overall combination of space and comfort, and the amenities at the Marigot Bay Resort made for an incredible visit. The view and experience from the deck is one of the most jaw dropping settings for an accommodation you will find in the Caribbean. The hosts were wonderful in making sure we were well provisioned and in connecting us with boat tours and transport. We spent 5 days but wished we could have stayed longer.

Marina Village during covid

A fantastic apartment with plenty of space for a family of 4 (there were three of us). The most delightful view from a very spacious terrace. Very limited sun but you should have worked that out form the location / positioning. Great wifi, kitchen and bathroom amenities. A couple of observations - lots of insert bites due to the location / forestation, v limited dining options in the area ie two! Prices quite steep so Pauline's supermarket shopping service was really helpful. We felt very lucky to stay here.

A Room With A View

Just returned from 2 weeks holiday in Marigot Bay with friends, a party of 4 staying at this property. The apartment was perfect. Clean, tidy and plenty of everything needed for our stay. Loads of towels which is a real issue with me at some self-catering villas. Never a problem with hot water, electrics or WiFi. Making life easy even your rubbish is disposed of by dropping the bin bag down a shout just outside the front door – I like that! The views from the outside balcony are to die for – a clear line of sight out down the bay to the ocean. In the evening the sun sets right at the end of the bay – fantastic. Many an hour was spent watching the world go by while sipping on a run punch or two!! Having access to the hotel facilities proved better than I was thinking before we arrived. I did have visions of fighting for sun loungers etc but this proved not to be the case, indeed some days when we were having a chill out day we arrived and had one of the two pool area’s completely to ourselves. The staff came around with free water bottles in tubs of ice, really appreciated as the temperature was 32’ even in Sept. We ate a couple of times at the hotel on a lunch time and I must admit the Jerk Chicken & Mange Salad for $15 was brilliant. Happy hour was 4 - 5pm (half price drinks) and the rum punch here was my favourite – lots of nutmeg! Local restaurants were all within about 5 – 10 min walk or by the free water taxi service. We would often get the free taxi to one bar/restaurant to have a few cocktails before getting it back to move on to our meal restaurant. The local people are really friendly, in fact all 4 of us commented upon how friendly the whole of the St Lucia population was to us. We had a hire car and criss-crossed the island and friendly people everywhere. Both Karen and Pauline were fantastic – communications were brilliant both in the UK before we went and during our holiday. I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment to anyone.

Girlfriend get-a-away!

Marigot Bay in St. Lucia for a week was a dream! My BFF of 46 years and I went for the first time and the apartment was perfect. Large, clean, well stocked, both of us had separate bedrooms and bathrooms and the balcony overlooks the bay and ocean. There is so much to do in the bay- great restaurants, water taxi to the beach (5 mins and free) hiking, snorkeling, kayaking. We didn't need a car. Only an hour from the international airport and the driver, set up by Karen, stopped at a grocery store where we got food and drinks for a week. Karen and Pauline were great hosts and gave us many recommendations. There is also a small grocery store downstairs in the marina. Pauline's husband, Cornelius, has a boat and took us on a wonderful private boat cruise to the Pitons and to Soufriere where we hired a taxi to take us to the waterfalls and the botanical gardens. We hired a taxi to take us zip-lining too. I can't say enough about the apartment, the marina and the resort next door that gives access to the swim up bar and pool. We will definitely go back. St. Lucia is beautiful! Thank you for a perfect week!

I felt like I won the lottery when I booked this place!

Right in the heart of Marigot Bay, the location of this gorgeous apartment makes it the perfect place to enjoy the sights and sounds of the most beautiful spot in St Lucia. From the stunning sea-side interior decor of the property to the 180 degree bird's eye view of the marina, there is truly no better place to stay in this destination. I wish we could have stayed much longer! Right from our very first contact, Karen was fantastic to communicate with and booking with HomeAway was easy. Our stay in St Lucia, although much too short, was filled with wonderful adventures and this apartment was the perfect spot to head north to Castries, south to Soufriere and east to access the Castries Vieux Fort Highway when it was time to make our way to the international UVF airport. I can't recommend this property highly enough and I'll be sure to sing it's praises to anyone looking to vacation in this part of the world!

Relaxing vacation in Marigot Bay

We loved our stay in Marigot Bay. The condo is in a great location. It has a view of the marina and is in walking distance from restaurants and the neighbouring hotel Marigot Bay Resort. Being able to use the resorts amenities was an added bonus. We took advantage of that. The beach you have to take a quick ferry to isn’t that big. We didn’t spend much time there. We did however take water taxis to the beaches on the southern part of the island. They were much nicer and cleaner than the one at Marigot Bay. We spent mornings out on the balcony watching the action in the marina. There were boats always coming in and out. The rest of our day was spent exploring. So it was nice coming back to the condo and relaxing.

Highly recommended

A beautiful location and a stunning apartment with great amenities close by. A perfect place to relax, unwind and watch the world go by in tranquil surroundings. Lots of choices of places to eat out but also facilities to self cater if you wish. Plenty of activities locally such as kayaking, snorkelling, sailing, diving or just chilling around the hotel pool at the end of the harbour. However Marigot Bay is ideal as a base to explore the island as it is halfway down the Caribbean coast. We climbed Grand Piton and had the best zip wire experience ever zipping over the treetops of the rainforest. Amazing! Pauline and Cornelius (the local manager and her husband who does great trips out in his water taxi) were helpful throughout our stay and gave fantastic recommendations. Definitely somewhere we would love to return to and have already told friends and family about this little gem.

Perfect Getaway

We just returned from 10 days in beautiful apartment 7a in Marigot Bay. From my first conversation with Karen to my last conversation with Pauline while we were in Marigot Bay, we felt incredibly cared for from beginning to end. The smallest of details, like providing beach towels, enough laundry detergent for a small wash, binoculars to see the beautiful yachts coming into the bay, beautiful furnishings, luxurious bed linens and extremely comfortable beds, were so touching and thoughtful. It's clear they love this home and we're grateful they share it with guests. We visited Rodney Bay and Pigeon Island during our stay but we spent most of our days relaxing on the veranda or lounging at the pool. Our favorite restaurant is Julietta's....the view is breathtaking and the food is spectacular. Thank you Karen and Pauline for making our vacation so special!

Great location, comfortable and spacious

We loved St. Lucia, we loved Marigot Bay, and we loved the apartment. Many conveniences, but not commercial. Access to the Capella pool and the beach. Hiking and activities or relaxing were right outside our door. St. Lucians were very hospitable. The apartment was spacious, comfortable, clean and convenient. I would go back and stay there in a heartbeat.

2 thumbs up. The apartment was beautiful. Bedrooms and bathrooms all very clean and decorated nicely. Best part by far are the sunsets off the large deck with an unobstructed view of the bay. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting St. Lucia. Access to the Capella Resort next door is an added bonus as well.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Byford

Host profile image
Our two bedroom apartment has been owned from new by our family for nearly 20 years. Of course we want other people to enjoy the apartment as much as we do.

We fell in love with Marigot Bay the first time we visited and the family have used the apartment every year since.

Taking a holiday in the Caribbean is so exciting but we understand it can also be a little daunting if you haven't visited before. That is why we have a local English manager who meets and greets you on arrival, shows you around the apartment and immediate area. She is only a phone call away if something goes wrong or you need some advice on where to go or how to book something. You will be well looked after but at the same time your privacy will be respected.

We can also arrange private taxi transfers from and to the airport as well as obtain quotes for car rental.

We do hope you book our apartment and wish you a wonderful holiday. Karen

Why they chose this property

Once you see the view and waterside position of our apartment you will know why we chose it!

The proximity to the restaurants, bars and free use of the swimming pools and gym at the hotel are a real bonus. So many of our guests comment on how they loved sitting on the balcony watching the bay come to life each morning and the beautiful boats and mega yachts going in and out.

Look out for celebrities!

What makes this property unique

Amazing waterfront location, overlooking the marina, boats and a view of the whole bay from a wide, covered and furnished balcony so you can sit and relax in the sunshine...or the occasional rain shower. It is a green and tropical island.

The apartment is very spacious, airy, light and a soft breeze from the balcony helps keeps moderate the temperature in the hotter months. The furnishings are typical of the Caribbean but yet it has all the modern comforts you may have at home.
