About this property

Indulge in Breath-taking Piton Views from Your Private Eco-Friendly Villa

Disconnect to Reconnect:

Is it time to disconnect from your stress? Do you want to reconnect with your loved ones?

Say good-bye to tension, as you escape to this tropical paradise.
Drive your friends and family wild with envy as you send them postcard-ready Piton pictures from your villa.

Or invite them to join you, as Cashew Villa comfortably beds up to 6 people.


Arrive In Style:

When you arrive at Cashew Villa, you will be greeted by Berthia, our house manager. With over 20 years of hospitality experience, she will make sure that your stay is unforgettable.

Berthia has high standards, as she ensures the house is clean and ready for your arrival.

She’ll be there three days each week - Monday, Wednesday, & Friday - to tidy up the place and assist you in any way.

Want even more privacy? No problem. You let Berthia know if you want fewer (or more) visits.

If you want, you can arrive in style to a freshly cooked creole meal prepared by Berthia. Don’t worry – she knows how to cook for all dietary restrictions and allergies.

Feeling adventurous?

Ask her to prepare a local rum punch to go with your meal.

Settle into your new home away from home. No need to panic, as we provide some breakfast essentials that let you have a lazy first morning while you plan your stay.

Nestor, our pool maintenance and security expert, will also be around too on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. He helps keep the pool in tip-top shape for Insta-worthy pictures.

For extra peace of mind, Nestor stays over in the small cabin near the car park at night. Any maintenance issues and he is always happy to help.


Your New Home Away From Home:

Imagine waking up to chirping birds, a cool ocean breeze, and the stunning view of the Pitons every morning.

The house has large sliding glass doors that opens up the heart of the house to a stunning balcony.

You can have your breakfast every morning with the panoramic view of the Gros and Petit Pitons, the Caribbean Sea, and sometimes even Saint Vincent is visible.

This classic spacious Creole house has 3 bedrooms with 3 on-suite bathrooms, giving you the freedom to host friends or family. All bedrooms have king-sized beds, two of which can be transformed into two twin beds for accommodating larger families.

But don’t feel obligated to share if you’re looking for a romantic getaway (Shh.... it will be our little secret that there is extra space available in the villa).

The full kitchen and downstairs kitchenette allow you to cook at your new home if you want relaxed dining with an impossible-to-beat view. Or you can live like a local, and have Berthia cook all your meals for you (ask about pricing).

Want something more luxurious?

No problem. There are several fine-dining restaurants only minutes away:
 Anse Chastanet Tree House or Apsara Restaurant (Indian cuisine)
 Boucan at Hotel Chocolat
 Dasheene at Ladera

Use the pool-side BBQ grill to cook freshly caught fish, chicken, or even lobster if it’s in season.

Cashew Villa truly is your Creole home away from home.


Living Together with Nature:

At Cashew Villa, we pride ourselves on being eco-friendly.

The pool is heated to a comfortable temperature of 27 degrees Celsius year-round by underground plumbing that uses the sun’s natural heat to warm the water.

The pool also uses a salt-water system, which is more gentle on skin, eyes, and hair. No more crunchy hair after your vacation!

Rainwater is the main source of our water supply. The water tanks are monitored and inspected annually to ensure the highest quality. The water is double-filtered, giving you fresh mineral-rich water.

And if you accidentally spend too long in the sun, we have aloe plants growing nearby that will speed up the healing process.


Close (But Not Too Close) To All the Attractions:

At Cashew Villa, you will be in the heart of nature, surrounded by lush tropical forest. With no neighbors in sight, you will have complete privacy.

A hidden benefit of being so secluded? Star-gazing. Admire the jaw-dropping beauty of the Milky Way as you lay on the lounge chairs. Be stunned by the sheer quantity of stars that twinkle above you. If you’re lucky, you’ll even be able to make a wish or two on shooting stars.

Spend your days lounging by the large private pool or exploring the island’s nearby attractions. The villa is 10 minutes away from the beach and less than 30 minutes away from popular sites:

 Sulfur Springs
 Drive-in Volcano
 Botanical Garden
 Hiking the Pitons
 Scuba Diving & Snorkeling
 Dolphin and Whale Watching
 Deep Sea Fishing


Create Unforgettable Memories:

No matter how you want to spend your vacation – by the pool or thrill-seeking – Cashew Villa is the perfect place for you.

Berthia and Nestor have inside local knowledge to advise you on the best restaurants, activities, tours, and drivers. Sit back and relax as they book your adventures for you – making sure you get the
best deals and prices.

But don’t just take my word for it. Check out our raving reviews and the fact that we have several repeat guests who can’t wait for their next return!

One of the Best villa in st Lucia
Pictures can’t describe how beautiful is the view in real life. Our family of 5 went there mid February for a week and the villa had everything that we needed. Kids had a blast at the pool meanwhile me and my husband were enjoying the sunsets. There was Berthia that cooked for us delicious food twice (she was so sweet and nice). And Nestor security ,that made us feel so safe at the house (kids loved him so much) he was so friendly. The only thing that you will need is a 4x4 car. The roads were so rough and tight but for us that was very fun adventure. For sure I will go back again.

Beautiful view of the pitons
Unreal view of the Pitons and ocean with a great pool. Is a short drive to Jade Mountain and Anne Chastenet.Road up to the villa is definitely very steep and bumpy and an experience, would recommend an SUV.Berthia's cooking is fantastic, would highly recommend. Nestor is great watching over the house and cleaning the pool and landscape.Wish we could have stayed for a couple weeks!! Hosts were great and easy to work with.

Breath taking views
The setting and views from this property are 5 star and rival any of the luxury hotels in St Lucia, in fact I would argue they’re better than any of the hotels. The pool is the perfect size and wonderful for a refreshing dip. It’s a deep pool but it has a little shelf / ledge around it which us adults could sit on and our just 4 year old could walk/ stand on, which worked brilliantly for all of us.Bertha and Nestor were both super friendly and I would absolutely recommend you ask Bertha to cook a meal. It lasted us for three meals! Nestor also roasted some cashews for us which our daughter loved.The property inside is really homely, it is tired in areas, but it is clearly a well loved home and it has a lovely feel to it. This property is all about the outside space and the outlook, so we could forgive the interior shortcomings!We were fine with the lack of air conditioning and found the ceiling fans very efficient. It did get warm inside in the late afternoon as the sun shone in, but not a major problem.As others have said, the road up is an adventure! As long as you have a suitable car, take it slowly and toot your horn at corners you’ll be fine.The house is about a ten minute drive down to Anse Chasenet beach and Anse Mamin is a 10-15mins walk from there, which we absolutely loved. The beach bar/ restaurant there is pricy but the food is great. The beach is beautiful and quiet and we were so grateful that our villa was so close.

Just what we were looking for!
My adult children and I loved our vacation at Cashew Villa! The view is truly magnificent (exactly as pictured) and the swimming pool was wonderful and kept perfectly tended by Nestor. As suggested by others, we asked Berthia to make her fabulous dinner of local recipes and her delicious rum punch for our first night there...an excellent way to celebrate our arrival! Also, after successfully and safely finding our way there and a full day of travel behind us, we were ready to stay put and relax! We ventured out to the grocery store the next day and there was everything we needed including charcoal for the grill at the villa, as well as liquor and wine. (An empty cupboard or two in the kitchen would be useful to store the food.) Cashew Villa is not a fancy place but it is very charming, comfortable and just what we were looking for! We played games and ate all our meals outside on the large porch table. We also were appreciative that beach towels were provided and for the snorkeling equipment available in the living room cupboard. There are several lovely beaches only a few minutes away which also have great food and drinks! In addition, Cashew Villa is located near many of the sights that we were interested in visiting on Saint Lucia. Our late afternoons were amazing at the pool...reading our books, having cocktails in the wonderful warm weather and watching the sunset. It was very hard to leave at the end of the week!

A View that We Will Never Forget
Cashew Villa was part of one our best vacations ever. Hard to imagine matching this view anywhere - so scenic every day, cool breezes, and enough water and sky activity kept us starved for more. The breeze through the villa was so soothing. The amazing pool was so clean with a perfect refreshing temperature. After a long day of travel, we had questions on if we would be able to find the place in the dark mountains. But Berthia and Nestor were outside waiting for us to arrive. They did a fantastic job making us feel at home - thank you!!!There's a lot written about the road to Cashew Villa, but we loved it - a bit of a challenge first time up in the dark but it just added to the adventure the entire trip. So many places we visited that were top notch: Project Chocolate, the Treetop Restaurant, Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, Gros Islet Street Party, Vigie Beach, Pigeon Island Beach all were so worthwhile. Don't miss the Naked Fisherman especially for Sunday live music. Anse Mamin is now one of our favorite beaches ever - especially for its solitude and jungle backdrop. Finally, don't be discouraged by so many critical comments online regarding access to Sugar Beach. While lunch at Bonte was a bit pricey, the food was outstanding and provided our ticket back to our car. How can you beat open air dining beach side? We spent the rest of the day soaking up the sun, a fun beach vibe, and the calm bay waters. Sunset topped off the best beach day ever.

Great view but villa has been neglected!
Check in with Berthia went well. The meal she made was very good. The view is outstanding. However, the villa is showing neglect. It needs general maintenance. In addition, the coffee maker was full of mold. We found rodent dropping on the counter and cabinets in the kitchen. Also, found them in the master bedroom. But, even more troubling, there was evidence of rodents in our luggage. I contacted the owners before writing this review to alert them to this problem. Not sure if they took it seriously. They suggested that leaving food out will attract rodents but, as I told them, we left nothing out. Overall, the villa could use an overhaul. Screens would help at night because there is no air conditioning and the fans aren't doing the job. The owners offered me money back, but I declined because that wasn't the purpose of my complaints. I hope they give this matter serious consideration and take action. If they choose not to, I can not recommend staying there.

We stayed in three different houses in St. Lucia and this was by far my favorite! The view is unmatched, the pool and outdoor spaces are amazing, and Berthia and Nestor made our time there extra special. If I could do it over again, I'd have stayed with them longer. Thank you Berthia & Nestor!

Paradise
A beautiful and very private villa perched on the top of a hillside with what must be the BEST view on the island! We loved everything about this rental villa! Nice flow to the house, great outdoor living areas, the pool was wonderful and refreshing in the heat, the gardens around the villa are mature, unique and filled with friendly birds and at the heart of it all was that amazing Cashew tree! Berthia and Nestor were both helpful and kind and my husband is still raving about how good Berthias Creole fish and broth was!

Amazing Piton views
We had a wonderful stay at Cashew Villa.The views were second to none. The pool was the perfect temp. The linens were soft. Everything was very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed. Berthia was lovely. She cooked an amazing meal that lasted for days and gave us advice on where to visit. She kept the house very clean. Hector also was lovely and a friendly face to come "home" to. The road was steep but manageable. As mentioned in other reviews it was 80 degrees at night which is a little out of my comfort zone for sleeping but the fans made it mostly bearable. Overall it was an amazing stay and I highly recommend it!

Beautiful area. Wonderful accomodations. Art inside of house from the family noticed and a beautiful touch. We enjoyed many majical sunsets. Went for the diving and will most definitely remember the house. Would have been special for full family as 2 additional bedrooms downstairs went unused...next time. Would 100% recommend a dinner from Berthia. Cooked a wonderful meal for husband's birthday. We had enough lftovers for the week!! Nestor was there for security and we felt 100% at home. Been to many VRBO homes ans this one surpassed our expectations! Will be back.

Incredible place to stay!
An absolute gem of a place in a beautiful part of St Lucia, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. This is incredibly close to the beautiful Anse Chastanet beach where you can pre-book beach chairs and food. The sealife here is absolutely stunning with schools of fish, turtles, eels and a variety sea life, this was the highlight of our trip! SOME TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR STAY 1. You absolutely must have a 4x4 in low gear mode to access the villa. The road to the villa is incredibly steep (30+ degrees) and a regular car will not make it up the hill. It certainly is an adventure! 2. The villa is nestled high up the mountain and there are plenty of bugs around. We found it was best to have plenty of mosquito coils for outside, keep all the windows and doors closed after dark and to spray the whole house to catch any stray mosquitos before dark. With the above in mind, the villa is incredible and the clarity of the sky and stars at night is out of this world. We would highly recommend this place.

Spectacular!
JUST WOW! My family and I were fortunate enough to enjoy a week in paradise at the Cashew Villa this summer. As an active family bitten by wanderlust, we seek adventures and beauty off the beaten path...and boy, did this property deliver! We took in the absolutely stunning views of the Pitons, a vista that never ceased to amaze. The property is nestled high up on a hillside and, I am certain, offers the best views on the island. As an amateur photographer, I am was thrilled to capture some gorgeous time lapse videos overlooking the Pitons. We greatly enjoyed the privacy and this property was the perfect way to both begin and end our daily St. Lucian adventures. While in St. Lucia, we enjoyed horseback riding, a helicopter flight, a St. Lucian food tour, a land and sea boat tour, the Tet Paul Nature Trail, a visit to Grand Eden Estates, and relaxing on the black sand beaches nearby. The grounds of the property were immaculate and kept by an equally kind and welcoming groundskeeper/guard, Nestor. Nestor was wonderful with our two children, ages 8 and 6, and really made our stay special and memorable! We were also lucky enough to hire Miss Berthia to cook us two delicious and traditional St. Lucian meals. The portions she prepared were very generous and lasted us for several meals. She also had our fridge stocked upon arrival with some essentials to get us started. The pool was perfect and our children enjoyed daily swims. Truly thankful for our best stay yet!

Great view
We loved our stay. Had a great view and we really loved the pool. If staying here, be prepared to see bugs. We had ants and a cockroach in our bed the first night. This is an open home so it’s bound to happen. If you’re afraid of moths, this is not the house for you. I will say, the high smell of moth balls was unpleasant. We couldn’t close the doors because of it. The property manager Mrs. B is Great and the security guard Nester was nice to have around the whole time! Both were extremely friendly and helped us out. Mrs.B showed us to the grocery store and Nester helped us locate clothes on a Sunday after delta lost our luggage. There are no air conditioned areas or TVs so be prepared for that. But trust me when I say, the views and pool make up for it. It’s close to the beach down at Anse Chastanet which was our favorite. Highly recommend staying here if you’re a lover of the outdoors.

Our stay at Cashew Villa was excellent. We were there for a week. The view is breath taking as stated by the host. We were there when hurricane Beryl came through and the host, groundskeeper (Nestor), and housekeeper (Berthia) made sure we were safe and taken care of.

Must Stay!!
We had a wonderful time. Berthia and Nester's hospitality and friendly vibe made us feel at home immediately. Berthia’s dinner and rum punch are worth it and was flavorful authentic creole meal. The Villa is situated in a tranquil area and offers amazing views of the Pitons and is close by sugar beach, hotel Chocolat, hiking the pitons, diamond falls, the drive-in volcano and sulfur springs. We did it all and had time to enjoy peace and relaxation at the Villa. After hiking Gros Piton, tranquility and remote beauty was a must and we felt guilty for being so spoiled and taken care of at the Villa. We highly recommend and cannot wait to come back and hope to see Nester and Ms B again. We will always cherish the fond memories built in our time staying at the Villa and visiting St Lucia. We cooked many meals at the villa and had ample room with our three boys 11, 14 &17). Make sure you have a SUV to get to the villa, the drive is certainly challenging and having a two wheel drive vehicle will leave you frustrated. Pool was fantastic and the deck was perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails. We felt safe the whole time we were at the villa (and driving around for that matter). We left most of the doors and windows open all night for the cross breeze to keep the house cool. Fantastic place! One Love!!

Absolutely wonderful
The property is exactly as pictured and described! The view is second to none, the pool and outside area is absolutely fantastic. The pool is large with a max depth of 6 feet, so plenty of room. The outside space for dining at any time of the day is absolutely wonderful. The outside space for lounging by the pool is next level fantastic. It is open air, so you will have bug bites. We had no mosquitoes, but there are no see ems that will get you. Every bedroom has a ceiling fan and a oscillating fan at the base of the bed. The oscillating fans are very strong so you’re very comfortable at night. The road up is definitely not for the faint of heart. You will need an all-wheel-drive car. I recommend that you do not take a taxi service. It will cost you as much as the Villa plus you do not want to be bouncing around in one of those taxis. I don’t recommend a taxi for sightseeing either because the roads are just way too steep and back-and-forth. If you’re easily carsick, and I do not recommend a taxi. It takes an hour and a half to go about 20 miles in any direction. Once you’re at this breathtaking villa and you want to go to the beach all you have to do is drive back down the mountain and go right and you’ll end up at anse chasenet with wonderful diving and gorgeous beaches. There is a beach bar as well for dinners and lunches. Nester the watchman and Berthia cater to us wonderfully! Nester make sure that we have plenty of local fruits and coconuts, we even toasted cashew

Location
The views of the Caribbean sea and the magnificent Pitons was wonderful. We loved the house and outdoor spaces especially the pool which was meticulously maintained by Nester. Berthia thought of everything to ensure our comfort and was able to provide local insight (where to shop, dine, sightsee). The road to the house is indeed steep but the scare factor goes down each time and important to take it slow and easy. Thank you for the warm hospitality Saint Lucia.

Old Island Experience - Ideal location for activities
The villa is well located for Soufriere vicinity exploration and for venturing out by car or boat to more northern areas. Enjoyed our stay with most of the home time in or at the pool - which is tropically beautiful and refreshing. The main patio is no longer open (wall installed) at the end off the main bedroom. For the most part, we adapted to the heat and were comfortable both in and outside the villa. Sleeping with temperatures of 78-81 F was difficult - which reminded us that AC might now be a must for future trips. The villa is not new, but it seems updating is being done as time permits. Both the housekeeper/hostess [Berthia] and the groundskeeper/night guard [Nester] are very special, knowledgeable, easy to socialize with, and are conscientious about doing their jobs well. We opted for first night dinner and rum punch - highly recommend! The groceries purchased and the leftovers from the dinner kept us stocked in food for our entire stay. Very flavorful and easy to modify as "new" meals by adding various spices or sauces that were on hand. No regrets for selecting this villa. Totally appreciated the beauty of the villa's setting and ocean/mountain view, and look forward to returning to St Lucia. [Unrelated to the VRBO, our only grumble is about lunch at the Rabot/Chocolat Hotel restaurant. Lunch for party of 3 (3 sandwiches, 1 appetizer, 1 rum drink, 1 frozen non-alcoholic drink, 10% tax, and fixed 15% gratuity was $171.00US. Drastically overpriced and not justified.]

Incredible stay!
We stayed at Cashew Villa for 3 weeks. Being high up on the side of a mountain, the home is a bit rustic and the drive up the road to get there is really rough and nerve racking at first but we eventually got used to it. The home had almost everything we needed (no washing machine) and while Berthia, the clearing/house manager offered to take our laundry and do it for us, we chose to handwash our clothes and hang them to dry outside ... no problem. The pool was awesome! We so enjoyed it and the taking in the incredible views of the pitons and all the different boats, cruise ships and sailing vessels that came by each day. Nestor, the landscape/maintenance/security guy took great care of us as did Berthia. We took in many adventures and were blessed to be there to celebrate St. Lucia's Independance Day celebration. What a great experience. Folks at the Uprising Bar in town were so friendly and accommodating, Great memories made, lots of photos and a wonderful stay. Highly recommend!

Amazing House, Location, Staff (& Views)!
We checked into Cashew Villa on Saturday (our travel day) and asked if Berthia could have a meal prepared for us. When we arrived, Berthia was warm and pleasant, preparing a meal (several meals, really) for us (one for kids, one for adults, and vegetarian options for one in our party). She welcomed us to the home, and gave us a tour of it. We settled in, and soaked in the AMAZING views. We wanted to pick up some essentials, so Berthia took us to the grocery store; she walked us through the store, helped us find items we were looking for, and seemingly knew everyone there (and they all greeted us like old friends). I have never had such a welcoming introduction to a new location. The house is amazing, open to all the beauty of St. Lucia. The views are unbeatable. The house was stocked with spices, sugar, towels/sheets/pillows, and the essentials. It felt like a home. Nestor was equally warm and welcoming. Anything we needed, he was there to help (but not intrusive whatsoever). Now it feels like only a dream...until next year when we plan to visit again. An amazing time, house, people, and place!
