SEA CLIFF VILLA - A Stunning villa with Panoramic Sea Views & Incredible Sunsets

SEA CLIFF VILLA - A very special beautiful villa with spectacular views of the Caribbean sea with stunning sunsets to enjoy on the open spacious verandas. Sea Cliff offers privacy, great location, Caribbean charm and is exactly what you need to relax and enjoy all that St. Lucia has to offer.

The villa, recently renovated with a Caribbean minimalistic style, has gorgeous tropical fabrics throughout, luxurious quilts on the beds, veranda décor and views to write home about, all of which give the villa newness and warmth throughout.

Airport Transfers are Complimentary:
Your booking includes two complimentary airport transfers. You will be met by our designated driver. If you wish to rent a vehicle for your stay we will recommend an excellent car rental company who will deliver your rental to the house for your arrival.

Christmas Bookings
We accept dates which include the full week (minimum 7 nights) for Christmas, eg. December 22 – 27/28 and from Dec 27/28 thereafter.
We don't accept bookings any longer than 2 weeks.

We accept children from the age of 8/9 yrs old. If you request we accept younger kids in your group you need to review our pictures of the verandas and the railings and acknowledge that they are safe for your children and accept all responsibility for them during your stay.

Sea Cliff offers the availability of a private Chef for any combination of breakfast, lunch and dinners along with an exceptional masseuse for massages, pedicures, manicures and so much more. Please inquire on rates and availability and we recommend booking early so not to be disappointed.

The main house sleeps 6 comfortably and with the Cottage situated a few steps away from the main house, allows for an additional 2 for your family group. The Cottage is available to any group, please let us know if you wish to have the use of it during your stay.

Location...it couldn't be more perfect. Situated on the other side of the Vigie Peninsular, it is quiet, private, secure, you are 20 minutes drive away to the north, Vigie beach is just a 10 minute walk. Vigie homeowners employ private security patrol - the villa is in a very safe upscale quiet residential area.

February 2023 Review - Scott
"All the reviews said that the pictures didn't do Sea Cliff Villa justice, and they were right. The pictures are amazing, but the villa's actual views and quality exceeded our expectations. Simply put, Sea Cliff Villa is one of the most excellent places we've ever stayed. The views are breathtaking! The amenities are top-notch. We had seven people staying in the Villa and cottage, but there was enough space that we didn't feel like we were on top of everyone. Tricia was amazing. The villa was always clean. And she did our laundry, which was a real treat. Bumpy was easy to work with, and we hired him several times during our stay. Val was very accommodating as we had a lot of questions before we arrived. We had a fantastic week. I can't say enough about how amazing this place is. If we ever return to St. Lucia, we hope to stay at Sea Cliff Villa again."

A Villa offering Personalized Service...From your first inquiry to your arrival to helping you to plan your fun relaxing week, here are just a few ideas your host recommends:

The most popular tours our guests take:

1.. Private Power Boat Charter
A day to never forget on the water with your very own private chartered powerboat with captain and hostess who will fill you with knowledge of the history of the towns as you go south to the majestic Pitons - Gros Piton and Petit Piton. Stopping off at various bays for a swim and snorkel, your host will recommend a place to stop for lunch (not included in charter price). On your way back up the coast a chance to catch the sunset.

2.. If you don't wish to drive during your stay, our designated taxi driver can offer you a weeks full service starting at US$500 - 700 which could include several supermarket trips, a day tour to Soufriere which your host will help you plan, a couple trips up north, out to lunch and dinner. You can discuss with our driver on the way up from the airport where you would like to go and he will work out the weeks price with you. A lot of my guests who don't want to drive love this service.

3. A MUST DO!!!
An evening with your very own private Chef - its a very special occasion. Chef will meet you a day or so before your confirmed date, go over suggestions for the menu for lunch or dinner or lunch advise on budget cost of food which he will purchase for you. On the booked special day, Chef will arrive and prep the dinner and return to prepare an incredible meal. A special evening/lunch at your very own private villa with an incredible Chef awaits you. Your private Chef can be arranged for breakfast, lunch and dinner service.

4. Hiking in the Rainforest: For our hiking guests, we can recommend a private guide who will take you to hike in the rainforest to see stunning waterfalls, give you a real local sightseeing experience, and fill you with lots of knowledge of the rainforest.

Recommended Restaurant/Excursions: there is a binder in the villa filled with host recommended restaurants and places to visit. When you switch over to whattsapp to communicate with your host using wifi, Val will forward lots of info and recommendations on places to go.

“This truly was a holiday of a lifetime for us”, Gemma, September 2017

“From private boat and waterfall tours we felt this was our private oasis. We don’t want to leave!!!”, Karen & Jo, June 2018

On arrival: Guests will be met at the villa either by your host Val, or by Tricia our Housekeeper.

Other bits and bobs:
*Hairdryer available

“Val thank you for such generosity of mind and spirit, we shall tell our friends” – Jayne, August 2017

Your host will suggest communicating by Whattsapp using wifi nearer to guest arrival day as this is how we will communicate whilst on island. It is a lot easier with Whattsapp to forward car rental contact information, our taxi drivers info, map location, directions, pictures of the outside of the property etc and to answer guests questions.

Aimee, 2023:
"Val, your Sea Cliff Villa is one of the most beautiful places we ever stayed at. Everything posted was spot on & more beautiful than the pictures."

We look forward to welcoming you at Sea Cliff and to helping you plan a wonderful stay.

Spectacular property with incredible views

We stayed at the sea cliff villa with 3 adult couples there was more than enough room for us all. The property is stunning, much larger than I expected and the views are breathtaking. I appreciated that the transfer to and from the airport was included and having Tricia, the housekeeper made our stay extra relaxing as she was very helpful allowing us to completely enjoy every minute! Having laundry service available at the villa was also very convenient. Val was very helpful and responsive with any and all requests and questions we had. We also really appreciated bumpy who drove us anywhere we needed to go. I highly recommend this property it’s a true gem you won’t be disappointed!!

Lovely home, beautiful views

This house exceeded our expectations in many ways. The views from the large, comfortable veranda are expansive and include sunsets. The house offers so many places to relax that our family of 6 adults never felt crowded together. The A/C in the bedrooms works perfectly, although the WiFi works best in the main area as well as the veranda. From the beginning Val was incredibly kind and helpful in booking boat trips and recommending restaurants (visit the Coal Pot!). Don't be intimidated by having a personal chef--the food will be better and less expensive than anything you can find at a nice restaurant. We should have used Sara for 2 nights! The housekeeper Trisha was also warm and helpful, as was the driver Bompy, and the gardener who took the time to show me around the lovely yard, pointing out different trees and plants. We spent several days just lolling around the grounds and swimming in the nice pool. The only drawback to the house is that it is far from the main attractions we wanted to see (Pitons, mud baths, volcanoes, Sugar Beach). But that was my fault due to my lack of knowledge about the island. Vigie Beach was a short walk away from the house and the busier, more commercial areas on the north side of the island were easily reached by car. If we return to St. Lucia we may book this house again (if available) simply to spend hours on the veranda enjoying the incredible peace and lovely views.

Magical stay!

My extended family and I visited St. Lucia for the first time and we loved it! As well as the beautiful surroundings, everywhere we went, and the warm waters, we fell in love with the people. We decided on Sea Cliff based on the great reviews and it did not disappoint. Val is a fantastic host that was there to help us from the moment that we booked the property. Bumpy (nothing to do with his driving) picked us up at the airport, gave us a history lesson, some local insights, and made some strategic stops at a popular view point, a local bakery, and at the supermarket to pick up some groceries. Val met us at the property, gave us a tour, and answered all of our questions. During our stay she was always available for any queries. The property was clean and had all the amenities for a great stay. Our favourite part of the house, where we ate our meals and spent a lot of our free time, was the terrace that overlooks the Caribbean Sea. Aside from the great views, the property is located close to Vigie beach and a short drive from Castries; with a great market to get fresh fish, fruits and greens, as well as some great souvenirs. Tricia, a great soul, was at the house everyday to ensure that we were comfortable. She even went with us to town on the first day to show us the ropes. One of the highlights of our stay was Chef Casey, who came to the house to prepare and serve us a delicious gourmet meal. We booked him twice - yum! Running out of space - It was a Magical Stay!

Sea Cliff in Saint Lucia

We just returned from a terrific trip to Saint Lucia and a wonderful stay at Sea Cliff. Val was extremely helpful prior to our trip, helping us to plan for tours, restaurants and enjoying our week. Once in St. Lucia, Val met us at the house and checked in with us throughout to week, continuing to ensure a great experience. Tricia was our housekeeper for the week and she took care of the house as well as our laundry! We enjoyed having Tricia around. Val suggested that if we decided on a taxi versus renting a car, that Bumpy would be a terrific driver. I must say that Bumpy was with us most of the week and not only was he a terrific driver, he acted as tour guide and took us to some "out-of-the-way" places that we wouldn't have found on our own. I'm a confident driver in the U.S., but the roads in SL made me happy that we had Bumpy to shuttle us around. You can't go wrong with Sea Cliff, Val or the team she has put together. A great week relaxing, touring and eating. BTW.....on Val's suggestion we had Chef Casey come to the house one night to fix dinner, and not only was the delicious, the plating and presentation was as good as any fine restaurant you've been to. Thanks!!

Exceeded our expectations

Our stay at Sea Cliff was wonderful! Our party of 5 stayed in Val's villa and we loved every minute of it. Great location just outside of Castries - it's close to a small airport but that never bothered us as it's not busy. We rented a car and it was about 30 minutes north to Rodney Bay and 90 minutes to Soufriere and the Pitons. The house is very well equipped with 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, full kitchen, dining room, and eating area on the veranda. From the attentiveness of Val and Tricia, to the amazing 180 degree views, we couldn't have asked for more in Sea Cliff, and we all commented how this rental far exceeded others we have stayed at on other islands. We loved the pool and deck area, and the wrap around veranda, where we spent every night and every morning, listening to the sea and watching the boats and cruise ships come in and out of Castries. The sunsets were beautiful and we saw many rainbows after short rains. Val provided many great recommendations of places to go, and we took her up on a few restaurant recommendations that didn't disappoint. We also did a half day boat charter that was wonderful, to see the Pitons from the water and stop at a few beaches for snorkeling, well worth it. Tricia came every day and did laundry, made beds and did our dishes - talk about feeling spoiled! A true treat, and such a sweet woman. Highly recommend this rental, would visit again in a heartbeat!

An AMAZING Vacation in St. Lucia!

I can't say enough about this property and Val (owner/host) and Tricia, the housekeeper! The house was stunning, well kept, immaculate and the views were even better. Val was in constant contact with me in case I had any last minute questions, and throughout our stay, assisted with booking various excursions such as waterfall hikes and private boat charters. Tricia, the housekeeper, was extremely personable and made our stay even better; she helped us with various tasks such as laundry and filling up our water bottles as we prepared to head out for the day. Overall, I would definitely book this property again and recommend staying here if you'd love to explore the island of St. Lucia. PS. The location was perfect; quiet at night, close drive to the grocery store, and many options of different marinas and restaurants to check out.

We truely love Sea Cliff Villa! We recently had our second stay at sea cliff villa, this time with the whole family. 6. Adults one baby. We were excited to get our familie's impression of the villa and we were not disappointed! They loved it as much as we do! It's spacious enough for a family as well as visiting friends from our second home of St.Lucia! The views are absolutely breathtaking! The house and furniture are comfortable, clean and perfect! The decor is warm and inviting, perfect for a beach side villa. Valerie's (owner) staff Tricia and Stanley take such great care of you ! They already have become family to us! That's the Lucian way!...thank you again Valerie! We will be back as soon as it's possible!

Sea Cliff

The home is beautiful with a well equipped kitchen. The views are amazing and the pictures really don't do it justice. The neighborhood and the location of the property is about 30 minutes to Rodney Bay due to traffic. Driving around the island is nerve wracking to say the least . There is no gas grill, beach chairs or pool floats which was disappointing. There are several barking dogs in the neighborhood and run down properties in close proximity to the property. Valerie was excellent and helpful at all times throughout our vacation, suggesting excursions that were amazing. There is a cleaning lady at the property daily and a gardener so privacy is a slight issue which I wasn't expecting, but they were both very nice and courteous.

One of the best places in the Caribbean. The house, landscape and views are spectacular.

A wonderful experience. Valerie was warm welcoming, helpful and available. She gave great suggestions were to dine or which beaches to visit. Tricia was wonderful in attending the house and was a discrete and helpful. The house was great, we enjoyed coming back from the beach and relaxing by the pool. Having coffe in the morning at sunrise was my treat. The sunsets were spectacular. Would definitely want to visit again. Valerie thanks again for making us feel at home.

Exceeds expectations!

I'm not even sure how to put into words how amazing this trip was. The villa was absolutely amazing, I wasn't expecting how relaxing and thrilling the views were. We could've never left the villa for our week trip and been very happy. However we decided to venture out and see the island. Val was exceptional at helping to arrange our outings. She was able to provide ideas for adventures, meals and site seeing. I would highly recommend Val and any property she says is good!

Wonderful, relaxing week

This is a beautiful property, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's very homey; the pictures don't do it justice. Tons of places to sit and enjoy the view. The kitchen was amazing to cook in for a rental property -- just add food! Tricia the housekeeper was wonderful and very helpful, and Val was a terrific and responsive host. Stanley the gardener was also very friendly and even showed us (and shared) how to open a fresh coconut. My wife and daughter thought it was delicious! Val also helped us set up a chef's dinner one of the nights and it was amazing! Ask for Chef Sarah if you want a great meal! Otherwise, the deck and pool and rooms were all very comfortable and surprisingly bug-free (only a few bites; other places in the Caribbean they can feast on you, but here was a nice break from them). The location on a hill above Castries is very easy to get in and out of, and a very nice beach is a shot walk downhill. Convenient out to the main road, no matter if you want to go into town or head north to other tourist areas/beaches. BTW, if you're renting a car, folks on St. Lucia tend to drive very aggressively, so be prepared! Overall, I would definitely recommend staying at Sea Cliff! Thanks to Val, Tricia and Stanley!

Amazing view! Beautiful villa!

Our family loved staying in this beautiful villa. It was very spacious with wonderful decor and very comfortable beds. We especially enjoyed all the outdoor areas with the amazing views! We loved having morning coffee outside and watching the beautiful sunsets in the evening. The owner Val was so responsive to all questions and communications. She volunteered to make restaurant reservations, set up an excursion in the rain forest and a boating excursion for our family to enjoy snorkeling. We saw a whale while on the boat! Val also stocked the refrigerator for us since we had a late arrival. The housekeeper, Tricia was so helpful and made us feel so pampered. And the gardener, Stanley, demonstrated opening coconuts to enjoy the fruit and juice. The villa is located in a quiet neighborhood but close to the beach and Castries. We highly recommend Sea Cliff!!

Paradise found!

We loved our stay at Seacliff Villa! What a wonderful property! The pictures do not do it justice! We have been visiting St..Lucia for many years staying in hotels mostly, but we decided to rent a villa for the first time. Never imagined that we would fall for a place that was so special the very first visit. The living space, the outdoor space with two large balconies over looking the sea...just beautiful! The Gracious owner Valerie was very warm and welcoming, she made sure we were comfortable. The housekeeper Tricia is so lovely we made friends instantly , she was so kind to make us a few local delicious dishes...stewed chicken! Yum! Thank you Tricia! You rock! Then there was Stanley, the gardener who taught us so, so much about St.Lucias lush vegetation. The seacliff property has quaint little walking paths with a wide variety of fruit trees to explore. We so enjoyed our time at this villa and we plan to return again next year! No more hotels for us! Thank you Valerie! You have made our visit to St.Lucia a very special one! Kathy, Danny.

An Absolutely Amazing and Memorable Stay

Val's Sea Cliff house was an experience as much as it was a vacation home. We opened and closed all the windows and doors each morning and evening. Lounging in the evening breeze on the deck with a Piton is as close to perfect as it gets. Sea Cliff is as beautiful and big as all the previous reviewers have mentioned. We traveled with two adults and 4 girls between 16-20. The additional decks off two of the bedrooms were a treat. Val and her team are truly exceptional. Val took time out of her day our second day there to map out the excursions we wanted to take. We explored the rainforest with Casim (the Big C) and a waterfall so forceful you can't help but scream as it hits you when under it. We toured the island by boat for a day with the very helpful crew. Sugar Beach is certainly worth a visit as its gorgeous. The snorkeling was just ok. Trish, the housekeeper blended right in and was a great help with dishes and laundry. A few of the girls really enjoyed Stanley and his garden tour and coconut splitting. And Nissa made us a gourmet dinner later in the week. This is very well worth it and we regretted not having her cook for us earlier. Definitely use the gourmet dinner when you can. Its cheaper and much better than dining out. We went back and forth on whether to rent a car and decided to speak to Val's driver service who picked us up from the airport. The driver's name is Bumpy and we used him for the whole week for about the same price as a rental. All the places south of Castries (Gros Piton, rain forest, volcano, mud baths, etc) are only 15 miles away but take over an hour to get there through crazy narrow and winding roads, up and down mountains. Bumpy was almost like family by the end of the trip and had great stories about the history of the island. He even kept an eye on us at the Gros Islet Friday night Street Party which with 4 teen age girls was greatly appreciated. You can walk down to Vigie Beach and few small beach restaurants, but we were always on the go. Other beach recommendations include a day at Smuggler's Cove and a meal at the Naked Fisherman. Just fantastic. Pigeon Island beach was relaxing and well kept as well. Rodney Beach (15 min by car) was fun and by far the most touristy part (shops, bars, water park, restaurants, etc.) of St. Lucia. If you want action, stay in Rodney Beach. If you want the most incredible island experience stay with Val and her staff at Sea Cliff.

Amazing, amazing, amazing.

There's no way we could sum up our experience at Sea Cliff. From the pictures and the reviews you can see the view is spectacular, the house is expansive, and the garden is gorgeous. What you can't really get until you arrive is that you're not renting a house -- you're moving into a home with a staff, an event planner, a housekeeper, and a chef. Val was absolutely incredible -- everything she recommended was amazing. The location is great, and St. Lucia is superb -- if you want a "typical" beach vacation, with crowds and tourist traps, Sea Cliff is the wrong venue and frankly, St. Lucia is not for you. But if you yearn for an exotic, easy-going vacation in a place where locals are truly happy to welcome you, I can't recommend Sea Cliff highly enough. It was the perfect fit for our family of six with four kids ages 10 through 17. We even got the hang of driving around the island! Skip the homogenized resorts and head for Sea Cliff! We'll be back.

A great house with an incredible view & a very helpful host

We loved our stay. The house is totally private with an incredible panoramic sea view. There’s a beach at the bottom of the hill & Val, the owner, was really helpful recommending restaurants, day trips etc. Tricia the housekeeper took care of all the chores so it felt like a holiday. We had a wonderful week - highly recommend this house

Wonderful views, wonderful space

The photos don't do this property justice, the views are amazing wherever you look. The property itself is spacious and very well furnished and comfortable. Val is exceptionally helpful and we had some wonderful day trips on her recommendations. Trish the housekeeper is a delight and we learned such a lot from Stanley the gardener. We really enjoyed the different outside sitting areas and being a family of 5 adults we were able to have our own space and didn't feel at all crowded. A meal or two cooked by the chef is a wonderful experience and the St Lucia breakfast was very interesting and tasty. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would be our first choice should we return to St Lucia.

Spectacular villa with ocean view

We were greeted by the owner, Val, on our arrival. She's very warm and friendly and made us feel at home right away. She also helped up plan our week with great recommendations for day excursions. We were all blown away by the beauty and size of this villa. This is a clean, well maintained property surrounded by all types of fruit trees (mangos, orange, avocado, papaya, just to list a few). The gardener, Stanley brought us some fresh coconuts for us to enjoy. Nothing beats waking up to the sounds of birds chirping and having breakfast outside to this incredible ocean view. Access to Vigie beach is a short walk and then going for a relaxing swim in the pool was fantastic. Val even helped plan a traditional St Lucian dinner prepared and served at our villa by a chef. It was delicious! We will miss the friendly, warm hospitality of the people that we meet during our stay. This place greatly exceeded our expectations!

Spacious, beautiful family friendly villa

This house is remarkable for the views alone. Rainbows, sailboats, cruise ships and sunsets every day, plus privacy. The grounds and pool are well taken care of, and the house is a large 3 bedroom. Val, the owner, is invaluable before and during your stay, and her staff is welcoming, friendly and helpful. They all care about making your stay the best possible. Vigie Beach is a short drive, but for kids, going to Pigeon Island and paying to access the park and it's two beaches is best.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful week stay at Sea Cliff. The house is beautiful and relaxing, and the views of ocean surrounding two sides of the house are stunning. Val greeted us upon arrival and helped us settle in. She gave us several recommendations for beaches, activities, and restaurants, many of which we followed. Val was also extremely responsive throughout the week, answering all of our questions about the island and scheduling restaurant reservations, day trips, and taxis. The housekeeper Tricia took us shopping at the fruit (and tourist) market one morning as well. The house is well-stocked for pool and beach activities, cooking, and evening drinks on the patio. Sarah cooked dinner for us three nights, and each meal was fantastic. Dinner was on the porch overlooking the ocean. It was an added bonus to have a great dinner at home with two small children, and also not to have to drive after dark. We highly recommend staying at Sea Cliff!

Amazing

The home is beautiful with a wrap around porch that overlooks the ocean, pool and mountains. However he people make this property. Val could not be more accommodating and acted like a personal Conceriege to get us scheduled for activities. Sarah the chef was amazing and we had her in twice to make dinner. She did so much more she shopped and cooked and set and served on a beautiful table. Trisha the housekeeper was always efficient and friendly as well. Lastly Bompy and his team do drivers for taxi services were also so great. Love this experience and st lucia is a wonderful place.

About the host

Hosted by Val Phillips

With over 20 years in the short-term villa rental business I have enjoyed converting one home then another. There are 3 properties in my portfolio and with my years of experience it allows me to take good care of my guests from inquiry to arrival, to your stay to your departure. You will be well looked after every step of the way.

Why they chose this property

Sea Cliff is gorgeous. A family home completely renovated in 2013 throughout, beautifully decorated with a tropical Caribbean plantation theme, Sea Cliff is a very special place on Earth.
A review of Sea Cliff:
Date of Stay: Dec 23, 2016
I highly recommend a stay at Sea Cliff. The views and the comfort of the home are, as other reviews have mentioned, just like the pictures if not better. Though what really sets this rental apart from others is the people involved. We have rented many homes in the past, and typically there's an agent who either lets you in or provides you with a code to get in and asks that you leave the keys on the table on the way out. Here Val, the owner, was extremely helpful and attentive to our needs right until the last minute. She coordinated our local transportation, tourist activities and food throughout our stay. For the latter we were very lucky that Chef Sara was available. When I first booked her I didn't really understand the title "Chef", the fact is that the quality and presentation of her dinners were at par with those of the finest restaurants. That coupled with the fine wines I was able to secure through a distributor that Val hooked me up with, made for amazing dining experiences every night. I should also point out that the place was kept in tip-top shape by the friendly housekeeper, and the groundskeeper. Again, I highly recommend it without any hesitation.

What makes this property unique

Location...it couldn't be more perfect. Situated on the other side of the Vigie Peninsular, Its quiet, private, secure, you are a 20 minute drive to the north, the beach is just 10 minutes walk away... and the views are spectacular!
