Do you yearn for relaxation and peace on your vacation?

Then start your day in the gazebo with a cup of smooth local coffee or a cappuccino, watching the sailboats glide along the sea (under a double rainbow if you’re lucky). After a breakfast of local fruit and homemade pancakes, slide into the pool and float, warmed by the Caribbean sun, surrounded by cashew trees and brilliant bougainvillea, with the postcard-perfect panorama of the Pitons and the Caribbean stretching across the horizon.


Have Doxie's pumpkin soup for a delicious light lunch, then pack up our snorkel gear and head to Anse Chastanet beach (less than 10 minute drive away) for an afternoon snorkel. Return to the villa to watch the sun set over the Caribbean in streaks of brilliant pink and orange while you sip local spiced rum with ginger ale, then dine on Doxie’s meal of grilled freshly-caught fish marinated in local seasonings with a salad, rice, and chocolate cake (from local cocoa, of course).


As the sky deepens to deep purple velvet and the stars emerge, take our Bluetooth speakers outside and listen to your favorite music while you talk with your companions, or just sit in awe of the beauty. Look up to see the inky black sky with billions of stars and the Milky Way flowing across it (when is the last time you saw the Milky Way?) Watch for shooting stars. Then sink into our comfortable Simmons BeautyRest mattresses and sleep deeply in the quiet, with just the breeze rustling the leaves and the singing of the tree frogs as a lullaby.


Or perhaps your ideal vacation is adventure and thrills?

Get up as the first fingers of dawn creep down from the mountains, grab some snacks and fill up our thermoses with water - you're headed to climb a mountain! Get a guide at the Anse L'ivrogne beach for the 2600-foot hike/climb or make it a little easier by starting higher up from Fond Gens Libre. Prefer SCUBA diving? Go out with Action Adventure Divers (“Chester”). ATV’s more your speed? Head to Choiseul for an ATV ride through the rainforest and chase each other along black sand beaches.


Whether you want to just relax or be very active, or a mix of the two, our friendly staff will help you have a memorable vacation. They’ll keep the villa clean, help you plan your activities, and anything else you need to make your vacation truly unforgettable. Hotels offer meal plans and tours and driver services, and we do, too - just inquire for details and pricing.


We’ve stocked the villa with adventure gear for you (beach chairs and towels and umbrellas and blankets, coolers, snorkel gear, etc.) and have WiFi throughout the villa with Alexa and Amazon Music Unlimited to make your stay even more convenient!


FAQ:

Staff:
Just like at a hotel, the staff must be in, on, or near the property most of the time. If you hire Doxie to cook for you, she has to do that in the villa. You may not tell the staff to leave the property or prohibit them from entering the villa for extended periods of time that interfere with their maintenance duties. You may ask them to give you as much privacy as they can while still completing their chores. Housekeeping and pool maintenance are performed daily.


Cooking/meals: Cooking services are extra and are from $12US to $25US to cook a standard meal for up to six people. Doxie also offers an option where she does the cooking and provides the groceries. Ask for pricing and details.


Privacy: Doxie is the only staff person that will be in the villa for more than a few minutes. If you prefer privacy, simply ask her to step outside when she is done or request that she does her indoor chores after you have left the villa.


Privacy and cooking services: You'll have to give up some privacy for cooking services, as meals are prepared in the villa kitchen and it's an open floor plan. Doxie usually comes up in the morning but cooks dinner in the afternoon, and she does not have a vehicle so she can’t go home and return when it’s time to cook. At your request, she will wait outside after completing her morning chores until it is time to cook. If you prefer as much privacy as possible but still want dinners made, we suggest you have her cook dinners on days when you are not in the villa.


Driver: We’re happy to provide you information on the driver’s pricing – please ask. If you wish to hire him, just let us know – you do not need to contact him yourself.


Insects and other creatures: We have mosquito-control traps and treat regularly for other insects. It is a tropical location, and the house is open-air (no glass over the windows) so there will be a few insects and other creatures (geckos, anoles, birds and occasionally a bat or mouse). Minimize flying insects by turning off all the lights inside the house at night if you are outdoors or closing all the doors at night if you are inside.


Air-conditioning: Given the open nature of the house, including interior walls that do not go to the ceiling, the air conditioning in the bedrooms will not be able to cool the rooms. They blow cool air on the beds to make sleeping a little more comfortable.


Welcome pack: We include a complimentary welcome pack of food and beverages, enough for a happy hour and a light dinner. We supply local Green-Gold coffee and a selection of teas for your stay. We can pre-stock the villa with other groceries upon request - inquire for price and availability.


Children: The villa and grounds pose inherent dangers for young children, including 220V outlets up 18 inches from the floor, chemicals stored in places children can access, and a 30-foot drop from the back railing to the forest below. Our staff’s duties do not include watching children, although they can arrange a babysitter for you at an extra charge.

Possibly the best vacation of my life.
Unbelievable! From the moment we arrived (actually BEFORE we even arrived), we felt so well taken care of and pampered. The property owner was so communicative, we never had to wonder about anything. The house is incredibly well appointed and the views are even more amazing than the pictures. Doxie, Junior, Kerryus and John made it their mission to take care of our every wish and answered our million questions about this beautiful country. Every recommendation for activities were spot on. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We can’t wait to return.

Planned a Christmas, graduation, get away trip for the family. We want someplace safe, memorable and beautiful. Well all three metrics were met easily. The entire process from booking till drop off for the return trip was first class. Hated to leave!!!! Doxie, Junior, Billy, Kerryus were just unbelievable and a true pleasure having their flawless work make our stay memorable . We miss the delicious meals waiting for us in the evening. Can't say enough about the great experience we had. Thank you so much Loretta for your responsiveness and sharing your property with us for a week. Can't wait for the next time we can visit. Maybe even have the chance to have our Navy son join us so that he to could share the unpatched please of the Villa Grand Pitton. Well done!!!

Villa in the Heavens
We are a family of 5- the house was perfect for us. We even had an extra bed if needed. From the moment we hit the airport with our pre-arranged pick up to the moment we got to the house, it was fantastic. Bear in mind if you are prone to motion sickness, the roads in St Lucia are not for the faint at heart - very twisty and turny. Once we got up the steep mountain we were greeted by Doxie who takes care of you at the villa - we had a delicious traditional meal of Roti waiting for us along with a festive beverage. The views from the Villa are breathtaking - better than the pictures. The Villa has every amenity you need for your stay - When they say to pack just your clothes, that's all you really need! There is everything imagineable at the Villa. We even weathered thru Hurricane Beryl - felt very safe in the storm. It was a great game and movie day. And let me tell you about the extensive video library - WOW - very impressive! Can't wait to come back!

A Slice of Paradise with Exceptional Service
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Villa Grand Piton, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning view of the Pitons – it felt like we were in a postcard. The villa itself is beautifully designed, with spacious rooms, elegant furnishings, and all the amenities you could ask for. The outdoor space was even more spectacular with a pool (well maintained by Kerryus) and many comfortable places to sit and lounge all with views of the Pitons. But what truly sets Villa Grand Piton apart is the exceptional service. Loretta, our host, was very good at helping us plan our stay and answering all of our questions ahead of time. Doxie was there to greet us when we arrived at the villa and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. She took care of every detail, ensuring that the villa was immaculate and that we had everything we needed. Her cooking was a highlight – we enjoyed delicious meals with a breathtaking view. And then there’s Junior, our taxi service and guide. He not only handled all our transportation needs but also helped us plan our activities and act as our local guide. His friendly demeanor and knowledge made our excursions even more enjoyable. In summary, Villa Grand Piton is a slice of paradise, and the warm hospitality of Loretta, Doxie, Junior and the other staff made it an unforgettable getaway!

Wunderbare Aussicht.
Das Haus ist in die Jahre gekommen. Trotzdem war der Aufenthalt schön, was auch an der perfekten Aussicht liegt. Unangenehme waren die vielen Kakerlaken. Diese sind nicht nur ekelig anzusehen, sondern können auch multiple Krankheiten übertragen. Alle Mitarbeiter des Hauses waren sehr zurückhaltend.

Beautiful holiday in St Lucia
Villa Grand Piton is spectacular, the view is breathtaking, it is quiet and peaceful. The Villa is incredibly well equipped, Loretta has thought of every detail, and that makes a holiday so enjoyable. Doxie was so helpful, and we enjoyed several of her dinners, she remained quietly in the background and kept the house clean and tidy. Doxie is amazing!

A beautifil villa with the most spectacular views! The villa came with a driving service and a cook if you chose to use them. We did! The road up to the villa was a bit brutal, but worth it! It was so private and restful there. The villa was well appointed with everything we needed. Very spacious and comfortable. Had a fantastic TV room with cable so we could watch the playoffs!

Bliss at Villa Grand Piton
Bliss...the one word that truly sums up our experience at this fantastic villa. Location : an unbelievable vantage point with the best views on the island for sure. The view is a jaw dropper and we just never got enough of it. Villa : airy and bright, super comfortable and generously provisioned. Staff : efficient and polite, they make everything you may want possible. Our week here passed in a flash. Mornings on the beaches below us and then back to our gorgeous villa in the afternoons : to spend the rest of the day in the pool and drinking in the views : which get better and better as the evening draws near. Cant wait to be back

So relaxing our vacation slowed down!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Villa! The view is amazing. Waking up every morning and opening the 4 large double doors to that view was a great way to start our day. All of the staff were very helpful and nice to have around. They were very accommodating and would show up when we asked them to. A couple of days we wanted a later start and that was not a problem. The Villa has everything you can imagine you may need and more. It was so great not to worry about anything. Beach bags, Sun hats, pool and beach towels, snorkel gear, cooler, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, outdoor portable speaker you can take to the beach with a bottle opener built in to open your Piton Lager Beer, and much more. More on the staff. We had Doxie cook us 3 meals during our stay. It was great to come back to the Villa and have dinner cooked and ready to go when we were ready to heat it up. We all agreed that Doxie’s food was the best food we had all week. There was not one thing we did not love. Some of the favorites were her pumpkin soup and fish fingers. We had her other “squash “ soup and it was amazing as well. One night she grilled bone in chicken with bbq sauce and that was delicious and a nice change from all the Caribbean flavors. We decided once we got there not to rent a car and use Juniors service to get around. He was very helpful with helping us plan our days. We felt so relaxed and taken care of that our vacation seemed longer. Highly recommend!

Breathtaking!!!!!
From the moment we arrived the service was 5 star all the way! Junior greeted us at the airport and made sure we were all ready, the owners actually greeted us when we arrived along with Doxie who by the way was so fantastic! The home is stunning and the views every morning, afternoon and evening are like nothing you can put into words. The beds were so comfortable, accommodations they thought of everything! They have towels for the beach, the sulphur springs, chairs for the beach... you name it they have it. Having Doxie to shop for us when we ran out of things and cook for us when we needed it was next level. We hired Junior and his team to drive us everywhere we needed to go and I highly recommend you do that as it is so much easier to have the drivers. Junior also was a concierge getting us a captain and a boat for a day trip to the north end of the island for shopping and lunch. This was out of 13 Caribbean islands we have visited the best trip so far. We brought my 75 year old mother as well and they took such great care of her and it was a trip of a lifetime for us all. I can't say enough great things about the home and the entire staff. I highly recommend utilizing Doxie and Junior! Thank you Grand Villa for the best trip so far of my life. We will definitely be back!!

Breathtaking views from a beautiful home.
Loretta and Bill have thought of most everything. This large three bedroom, three bathroom house has everything you could need from basic toiletries to chargers to travel mugs to a good movie for a night in. Each of the bedrooms has a bed fan, slats on the windows and doors that can be adjusted to allow ventilation, a fan and an wall AC unit. All of the reviews about the noise traveling through the house are accurate. The wall of doors open up to a stunning view of the water and the Pitons. Once outside all stress melts away. Be prepared to share the patio and house with a few friendly birds. They don’t hesitate to fly into the house and hang around the kitchen when the doors are open. Listen to the advice locals give. It is accurate. Close the house doors before dark to keep unwanted pests out. Do not rent a car. Gros Piton is a moderate to strenuous hike. Doxie is lovely and her meals really are as good or better than the local restaurants and she is happy to cater to your needs. Junior (the taxi driver) was extremely reliable. Overall, the property is beautiful and the house was a perfect retreat for us for the week.

5 out of 5
Just finished our stay at Villa Grand Piton and first visit to St. Lucia. In a word, marvelous! Since we had never been to SL, we took a bit of a chance on location of the island and residence or resort. We could not have been more pleased. The Villa is definitely 5 star. The staff and arranged team (driver, tour operator and cook) are superb. The owners have thought of every possible need and stocked well. Other than a rough road ride from Soufriere to Villa, I can’t think of an improvement needed. One of the few times we actually may rebook same spot in the future. Highly recommended.

All about the view!
The view on this property is the best on the island. It was an absolute delight to experience it on a daily basis. My boyfriend and I loved watching the boats and ships cruise around. It was also a joy to watch the weather roll in and out over the Pitons. Truly, we were wonderfully grateful to have booked this listing for the beautiful view. We realize the value in the property for the price. It was just the two of us but for a family, the price would be hard to beat. There were some details of the property that would inspire use to book elsewhere. We found the cleanliness of the house and overall upkeep in need of extra love and attention. Both my boyfriend and I own rental properties and have managed vacation rentals before, we understand general wear-and-tear but some details should be corrected and upheld for the standard of a rental. The staff were lovely, we appreciated the convenience of having built in help and care available. There were times we felt like we were sharing the home that infringed on our ideal of privacy. Having the luxury of a housekeeper on-site daily was great but then we would end up sweeping up or tidying up ourselves anyhow. Food in the island was subpar. We found Doxie's cooking to be outstanding by comparison and enjoyed many meals made by her enjoying the view. The only restaurant we really loved was Rabot at the Hotel Chocolat. A bit pricey, but right up out alley. The architecture of the house we found to be a bit odd with the walls only partially up to the ceiling. This allows noise in the house to travel easily. For my boyfriend and I it was alright, but we imagined having other friends or family there and what that might be like. If you are the first one or last one awake, you'd need to tip-toe around to avoid disturbing others. Perhaps this isn't an issue for most guests but something to consider when booking. The road leading up to the house was quite the experience. We got used to it throughout our stay. Going to the beach is $45 roundtrip using Junior's transportation, which shocked us at first but we understand why and would have spent what we did or more on a rental car. The beach down the hill (Anse Chastenet/Anse Mamin) were great, peaceful and quiet. The snorkeling there is fantastic! Overall we had a lovely time at the house and a great vacation.

Beautiful family getaway
We were looking for a quiet and remote destination to relax and reconnect as a family. This location was the perfect place to do this. Beautiful views, amazing food (you MUST have Doxie cook for you...her meals rivalled the restaurants we visited), and a well appointed place with all the necessities required for an enjoyable vacation. Junior and Billy were great drivers. We strongly recommend them (the roads are not easy to drive up to this property). Day trips to the beach and excursions were stress-free as they knew where to go and were available whenver we needed them. As for restaurants, we usually like to do 3 types...one for a "unique" experience, one "foodie" restaurant, and a local one. We went to the Treetop restaurant (eating in a treehouse overlooking the palm trees. Food was good!), the Chocolat restaurant (the food experience was interesting...everything had chocolate in it), and Martha's Tables (the local one...the kids like the food here the best!). But nothing really beats Doxie's cooking! Overall, we had a wonderful time in St. Lucia, and have recommended this place to many of our friends.

Excellent property and location
Villa Grand Piton is a little slice of island heaven. The owner, Loretta, was one of the most organized and responsive VRBO hosts I’ve ever dealt with. She answered all my questions, had a seamless check-in process, helped arrange my stay and followed up to ensure everything was good. The place is exactly as described and is super well stocked. I didn’t believe it so still brought adapters, toiletries etc and didn’t need to use half the items I brought. Take heed in the description about it being open air - the fans help a tad during the day but you basically get whatever temp the weather gives. This is typical of almost any place in the Caribbean. But the villa has plenty of fans (even one in the bed!) that helped a lot at night. Also, pack plenty of bug spray. And I would suggest packing ziploc bags to store anything an ant might find bc they will find it if you don’t store it properly (they even got into my pill box). Just as other reviewers have mentioned, I would recommend taking advantage of their driver as the road to the villa is rough, steep and narrow. If you hire the driver for excursions, I would confirm the lead time they need to pick you up when you’re done… I didn’t realize this so was miffed at first when I was waiting 20-30 min but the driver will let you know if you just ask. Doxie, the villa cook, is definitely worth using for some meals so you can enjoy the ambience with some great food (and her rum punch is top notch) and the on-site staff/security is great about respecting your privacy. Overall, a great island experience and would highly recommend! (if you’re looking for an awesome excursion, Island ATVs was 1000% worth doing)

Doxie was so sweet and cooked us meals that I’m still dreaming about.. Junior assisted with planning our excursions and booking them. He stopped by often to make sure everything was going smoothly. Billy was our driver. He safely took us everywhere we requested and was a short call away when needed. He’s also an excellent DJ. John and Kerryus were available as needed keeping the property grounds looking beautiful. It was a pleasure getting to know all of them. I would not hesitate to book this property. Everything about this trip exceeded our expectations. We already miss this island and it’s wonderful people.
Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2022

About the host

Hosted by Owner - Bill and Loretta

Host profile image
We've been married for over 20 years, and our youngest child just graduated from college. Loretta is close to retirement, but has a stressful full-time job as an engineer in the energy industry, and has to fight the traffic of a big city every day. Bill retired a few years ago, but is busy as a consultant and a planner for the next phase of our lives. A few years ago, we started looking for a place to spend our retirement, and decided that St Lucia was the only choice after visiting multiple times. We grew up in the Midwest, and never, ever dreamt that we'd retire in the Caribbean! But we love St Lucia so much, we decided to buy our retirement home a few years early, and share our home, so that you can experience the joy of spending time in St Lucia, too.

Why they chose this property

We knew it was the right place for us the moment we stepped out of the car - the view of the Pitons stopped us in our tracks and we just stood there, awestruck, for a few minutes. Then we picked our jaws up off the ground, walked into the house, and saw how spacious, light and airy it was, and instantly knew this was the only place for us. After spending our first evening there, gazing at the Milky Way and listening to the tree frogs and the breeze rustling the leaves, we could not imagine any other place that we could call home.

We hope you find it as magical and restorative as we do.

What makes this property unique

We started vacationing in St Lucia 15 years ago, and the beauty of the island, the weather, and the friendliness of the people convinced us we had to spend as much time as possible in there. We've visited much of the Caribbean, and we've never found any other place where the people are as genuinely warm and caring as in St Lucia.

St. Lucia is a wonderful getaway whether you are looking for romance, rejuvenation or exciting activities. Palm-fringed beaches, unspoiled rainforests and the majestic Piton Mountains make up the gorgeous landscape of Saint Lucia. Natural waterfalls, breath-taking views, friendly locals and authentic culture are sure to impress even the most cultured traveler. St. Lucia has some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Among the natural beauty of the island are ancient fortresses, fishing villages and gracious town squares waiting to be discovered. You can hike, bird watch and explore the natural attractions of St. Lucia or you can take part in many of the activities on land, water or air from horseback riding to SCUBA diving to helicopter rides.
