Wonderful Winter Getaway

My son, husband, and I had a wonderful getaway over the holidays. This was our second year. St. Lucia is so beautiful, and everyone is so friendly. This house is in an excellent location for Rodney Bay, Gros Islet, beaches, etc.

Lots of space and nice, quiet area, close to beaches, clean and great host!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We felt welcomed, privacy was key and very outgoing friendly host Greg! His knowledge of the area and island was superb and helped us greatly! When I daughter came down for a week she was given her own suite which she appreciated greatly. The property and pool was very well maintained and it was nice knowing we had the pool to cool off but also to lounge and catch some rays!! Very friendly island people and if you are not a partier and just want quiet and peace and rest this is the place to come to! I would recommend and we certainly will be back. We knew we would love St. Lucia as well! Beautiful island, good local food and very good weather too especially during the 16 days we were here! Thank you Greg! ❤️

Amazing owner and host!!

We stayed at Sun Set Villas for 12 days. The apartment is spacious clean and comfortable and has everything you need. The pool and garden is amazing and beautiful sunsets from our balcony. Greg the owner was the perfect host, picking us up from the airport, taking us to the supermarket, providing us with a mobile phone, so we could contact him to be dropped or picked up at no cost. He even repaired my broken sandal and took me to PC world to sort out my camera. We also booked Greg's full day tour around the Island which was great fun and a memorable one. Whenever I look at the photos taken by Greg from the sulphur springs & mud bath, it always puts a smile on my face, was such a great day! I had a fantastic time in St Lucia, such a beautiful island with spectacular breath taking views. I would recommend it to anyone! Thanks again Greg, you truly are an amazing person!

Immaculate villa, great host. Made holiday A1

Our host Greg made our first venture on HomeAway a memorable and convenient one. Greg picked us up at UVF upon our arrival and drove us north to the villa. He's very knowledgable about the history, sites, roads and cities on St Lucia and proved to be a great and valuable guide on all our drives. He's a talker and a story-teller. Great entertainment LOL When an air conditioning glitch popped up in our 2-bedroom villa Greg, without hesitation, moved us into the "Big House". Even when the A/C cycled back to its cold air cycle Greg refused to put us back in the 2-bedroom. An amazing gesture. Both accomodations are very well appointed with all the appliances you need for daily living and the views are beyond beautiful. The only fault we could find is that the Big House's main living area is not A/C'd, just the bedrooms. The wall-to-wall, Floor-to-ceiling patio doors could use curtains to minimize the afternoon sun from heating the living space. But honestly, we were usually gone by 9am and back after 5pm. We didn't spend much time at the villa. It's a 12min walk to the marina, 15 to the grocery store and 25 to the Gros Islet Street Party. Greg was very willing to drop and pick us up any time during the day. It was only a 5min drive to several of the beaches and shopping areas. We would certainly have no problems recommending Greg and this property to others. He made us feel like family. Thanks again Greg. Yay-YEAHHH

4 bedroom/ 4 bathroom

We enjoyed our stay, the island the people and weather were WONDERFUL! The accommodation was very spacious. It was a longer distance from the beach then we thought. Greg was very accommodating in running us into town/beach. He was also very quick to take care of our requests. One thing that everybody should be aware of is the 4th bedroom does not have a/c and is at the top of the house, which is VERY HOT! My son age 9 said the trade off for the 4th room is the pretty view!

Blissfully beautiful

The villa provided every amenity we required and was comfortably furnished. The pool was very welcoming at the end of the long hot days. There are plenty of loungers and other seating allowing views over the area. Greg was an amazing and helpful host whose advice and flexibility helped to make our vacation really memorable. The orientation tour was a great introduction to the week. If you have the chance to avail yourself of Greg's services as a guide and chauffeur PLEASE do so - he seems to know everybody on the island and all the out-of-the-way places. Thanks Greg.

Our Private Paradise

What a delightful hideaway to call home. Greg makes your needs his needs and does everything to make your vacation exactly what you want. The pool was amazing and the sunsets outstanding from our balcony. Greg took us on numerous tours around the island and with his local knowledge you were always learning a little bit about paradise. Make sure to take advantage of Greg's tour schedule especially the visit to the Zip Line experience. The villa was located quietly away from the noise of Rodney Bay but close enough to be a quick drive into the action. The restaurants were outstanding and again Greg's recommendations were right on! Greg's idea to give us a local cell phone while on the island is truly a stroke of genius as we always were able to be in touch if necessary. If Greg could't meet us he made sure we had all the information we needed to complete any journey we wanted from getting groceries to exploring the island. We will definitely put this on our return list. Thanks for the memories Greg and we plan on making more in St. Lucia.

What a view

We visited St. Lucia in Feb 2012. It was beautiful. The island is perfect and the people are so friendly! We stayed at Sun West Villa with some other family members for 7 days. The villas are very nice, well kept, Martha the cleaning lady is wonderful! The villa we stayed in the Coyaba has a lovely deck with a great view of the town and marina! The pool was great for our afternoon happy hour. The villa is located about a 15-20 minute walk from town. It’s an easy walk into town but a bit more difficult on the way home as it has some pretty steep hills, but Greg the owner is always happy to give you a ride. St. Lucia is a lovely island and I would recommend it to anyone!

Great Location

This was our first time to St Lucia and we decided to start our trip with a nine night stay at Sun West Villas and feel we made the perfect choice. Our one bedroom apartment had a lovely private verandah and was located near the swimming pool and gather us the peace and quiet we were looking for. We loved the location, being out of the main town of Rodney Bay, which was still easily accessible. The owner Greg was the perfect host, picking us up from the airport, taking us to the supermarket and providing us with all the information we could have wished for. The day after our arrival he took us on an orientation tour of the area, which was very informative, and also provided us with a mobile telephone so we could contact him to be dropped or picked up from town at no cost. We also booked Greg's full day tour around the Island which was great fun and virtually covered the whole of the Island! This was definitely a good start to a great holiday in beautiful St Lucia.

Great Day in St. Lucia with great company

I was looking for a great vacation spot to stay the week and emailed about Rodney Bay.. Spoke with a great guy named Greg.. After several phone calls and emails we picked Rodney Bay..However, we were not able to make the fights work out from Charlotte to fit our time frame.. So we decided to take a cruise and one of the port stops was in St. Lucia.. I contacted Greg to see if my girlfriend and I could meet him for a possible future contact on a place to stay.. All I can say is this guy is AMAZING... Instead of just meeting us, he suggested that he pick us up at the pier first thing in the morning and give us a private tour of the island that no one on the ship could imagine.. He took us to a private beach and zip lining (which I highly recommend) and just about everywhere and everything you could imagine.. I just had to write this review more so for the kind of guy that owns this property then the property itself.. Anyone that will take personal time to show the island is top notch in my book.... Thanks again for a great day and making St. Lucia one of the best port stops on our 7 day cruise.... Don

We had a wonderful stay in St Lucia thanks to the friendly and helpful owner Greg. He picked us up at the airport and by the time we arrived at the villa we had had an interesting and infomative rundown of this beautiful lush island. The villa is just as gorgeous as the pictures . It was comfortable and clean with all the necessary amenities .He provided us with a cell phone so we could call him anytime to drive us wherever we wanted to go till 6 pm.He was always prompt and happy to drive us . His tour of the island is a must do. It was a great way to see the island from an insiders perspective. The pool was a great way to start and end the day. The views and sunsets from the balconies were spectacular. If the opportunity arises again we would definitely return .

Wonderful host (continued)

(continued) St Lucia is a very beautiful island and we particularly enjoyed exploring Pigeon Island and eating at the Jambe du Bois restaurant on the beach. The trip to the Pitons and Tet Paul nature trail was just breathtaking. We loved the botanical gardens and snorkelling below the Pitons and at a Marine Nature Reserve. We also enjoyed ziplining and swimming under a waterfall. Just writing this makes us wish we were back there. We would highly recommend SunWest Villas. Thank you very much Greg for making our stay in St Lucia such a wonderful experience! Merryn, David, Cerian and Bryn

Fantastic villa and amazing host!!

We stayed with Greg at SunWest Villas in St Lucia for 9 days in August 2011 with our two children, aged 11 and 6. When we were still deciding where to go, Greg responded quickly to an email enquiry and called us at home in England. He gave us lots of really helpful advice about where to stay and what we could do in St Lucia. When we arrived, he picked us up at the airport and drove us round the island to the villa, stopping off to show us a wonderful sea view, then at a bakery to get a snack and finally at the supermarket so we could pick up some food. This was very thoughtful and really helped us to settle in and look forward to our holiday. The villa was lovely, a unique design including a balcony with views of the surrounding hills and out to sea, and surrounded by lovely gardens with banana plants, lobster claw, hibiscus and other tropical plants. We were also delighted as Greg had given us more space, which meant the children had a room each and we had the floor above. The apartment was nicely decorated, clean and had plenty of space for sitting and relaxing. The kitchen had everything we needed and there was even a vase of tropical flowers from the garden on the table. We used the pool almost every day and we shared it with several locals: a large toad, a huge crab and a tiny gecko. The sound of the tiny tree frogs each night was a delight. Greg was an amazing source of information about the island and this really added so much to our holiday. He spent time telling us about the geography of the island and places to visit and gave us a free orientation tour during which he recommended restaurants, etc. He also took us on two fascinating tours of the island, showing us the most beautiful scenery and beaches with nobody else there - places we would never have found on our own. The provision of a mobile phone was very useful as we could call Greg or a local taxi firm to pick us up. We hired a car for part of the week so we could explore further on our own and go back to some of the places he had shown us. St Lucia is a very beautiful island and we particularly enjoyed exploring Pigeon Island and eating at the Jambe du Bois restaurant on the beach. The trip to the Pitons and Tet Paul nature trail was just breathtaking. We loved the botanical gardens and snorkelling below the Pitons and at a Marine Nature Reserve. We also enjoyed ziplining and swimming under a waterfall. Just writing this makes us wish we were back there. (cont)

Location, location, location.

First trip to St Lucia after several visits to other West Indian Islands. Very impressed with the island and the accomodation at Rodney Bay. Greg was extremely helpful, even when we added extra guests at the last minute. We were collected from the airport and given great orientation tour by Greg. Loved the local Reduit beach and the Marina. Both walking distance from the house, we did usually phone Greg for a lift home up the hill. Had great meals at Spinnakers and Delirius. Also sampled good bars, Ann-Marie's on the beach, Happy Days and Rehab! Also experinced the Jump Up at Gros Islet on the Friday evening. Would thoroughly recommend to friends and hope to return one day.

Beautiful stay at Sunwest villas St. Lucia!!

We stayed at Coyaba Grand from 23-07-11 until 05-08-11. We rented an appartment for 4 persons, but when we arrived Greg (the owner) upgraded it to a larger appartment, for no extra charge, which was very kind! It was a beautiful appartment, very clean! and the vieuw was fabulous. Greg took us on a tour in the north of the island. Because of what he told us, we went to beautiful places f.e. Smuggler's Cove, The Pitons and the Friday Night Jump-up (which we wouldn`t have seen otherwise). Rodney Bay is a beautiful place to stay, beautiful beaches, many good restaurants as Spinnakers, Delirious and The Edge. St. Lucia is a beautiful island whith many banana and coconut trees and friendly people. We'll thank Greg and his wife again for the beautyful time we had!!

Simply beautiful

My husband, two kids and I stayed for a week in the adorable one bedroom apartment. The apartment was nice and cozy, yet there was plenty of space for the kids to run around and play. The living room/dining room opened up to (by glass sliding doors) a balcony with a great view of the Rodney Bay area and the pool was just a few steps away from our front door. The pool was the perfect size and the highlight of the visit for the kids. The area is quiet and very relaxing and the host was very accommodating. The villa is also located close to the mall, beach and grocery store and the host, Greg, provided a shuttle service to these locations. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone visiting St Lucia! We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Sun West Villas! Thank you for a great visit!

St. Lucia experience july-august 2011

The location was peaceful and beautiful with stunning views of the sea and surrounding scenery. The villa was reasonably spacious with easy access to the pool which was a wonderful amenity particularly early morning and during the heat of the day. Greg was welcoming, warm, friendly and an excellent host with extensive knowledge of the island; we particularly enjoyed a long day of adventure with him where we were able to take in many attractions and enjoy his unique sense of humor and storytelling!! Having your own transport would further enhance the experience and is something we will do on our next visit to the island.

Rodney Bay Retreat

Well what can we say? From the minute we landed in St Lucia, Greg was the poster child of what it takes to be a GREAT host (plus bringing him down the long nib licorice - red or black - he loves so dearly, will instantly make you fast friends;)! Our airport transfer went great; Greg was full of wonderful stories and quick to point out many of the local scenery and attractions along the way. Not to mention a quick stop at Ideal Bakery, a must for any pastry lover! We highly recommend the sticky buns and the turnovers! Upon arriving at Sun West, we were immediately transfixed by the gorgeous landscaping. From the incredibly inviting infinity pool, to the ocean view, and all the breath taking tropical flowers surrounding the premise (not to mention the abundance of fruit trees - mango, plum, banana) Our one bedroom villa, was just perfect for two. Very spacious, clean, bright and a killer view of the ocean as well as the marina. Being a hop, skip and a jump from the pool was also a major plus. Whether we were lounging on our patio or walking around the area, we were always completely at ease. If you are looking for a place to stay with all the amenities of home (full kitchen, A/C, WiFi, Cable, House Keeping, Alarm System, Cell Phone) as well as a fantastic host, Sun West is for you! On our first morning, Greg took us on a very thorough tour of the North part of the Island. Showing us local hot spots, such as Pigeon Island (a must see), Smuggler's Cove (gorgeous secluded beach) to some great local places to eat. We enjoyed the Lime, as well as the Chinese - delicious food, large portions and unbeatable prices. Grocery Shopping was a breeze in Rodney Bay, with THREE local grocery stores within walking distance (or with a quick ride by Greg in the van). They would rival any store at home for selection and quality, we were very impressed. We opted to do a full day tour with Greg which included the Piton's, a Cocoa Plantation, Anse le Raye, drive in Volcano and the Sulphur Springs. This was definitely a highlight of our stay. Though quite a strong odor, the sulphur bath's were an absolute blast and such a great way to finish off a perfect day of sight seeing. Since we stayed the entire month of July we had the pleasure of seeing Carnival in Castries. From the costumes, to the dancing to the all around atmosphere of the event, we really had a great time. We would highly recommend Sun West to anyone

Glorious days in Rodney Bay, St. Lucia.

I highly endorse booking with SunWest Villas. The Bonne Vue suite has all the amenities for a comfortable stay. I especially liked the patio windows with panoramic view. The immaculately-kept pool at the villa is a lovely creative space. I miss my evening ritual of sipping wine on the deck, taking in the view of the tropical garden at SunWest Villas, & bay area, watching the sunset. And my divine daily dip in the pool on the sultry evenings under the stars, with the nighttime song of the tree frogs & crickets! Greg was a generous host, driving me into the village for food, shopping for snorkel gear, or gifts, dropping me off at the beach, ...plus extra runs into town to the pharmacy, and camera troubles! Greg kindly took me on a search for the purchase of a new camera. (He even negotiated a 10% discount at the Computer World store.) I have hundreds of great photos of my trip, so I am grateful! Food: The supermarkets nearby carry all the necessities. (including wine & spirits.) I enjoyed the gift of bananas ‘on site’; baked goods from a local bakery; Elena's ice cream, & fresh baguette sandwiches...thanks to Greg's input. There is also a wide variety of take-out food, or restaurants, to eat well in Rodney Bay. Greg was instrumental in showing off St. Lucia to its best. He extends his energy, his wealth of information, & joy of living to his guests. He is a #1 tour guide. Inspired by the beauty & variety on the island, I was fortunate to book 4 tour days with Greg. It was great value for the money. I was happy for him to do the navigating along the winding scenic roadways. We were fast friends, never short of conversation or stories to & from our destinations. Greg made sure I had plenty of opportunities to swim & snorkel in the warm, clear waters of both the Caribbean Sea & the Atlantic Ocean. I have treasured memories of the gorgeous water and silky sand beaches. Anse Cochon, Jalousie, Cas-en-bas, Pigeon Point, Vigie, & Reduit Beach are not to be missed. Other highlights: the Pitons; jelly coconuts; Morne Coubaril Estate; driving through a banana plantation; mud baths at the volcanic sulphur springs; rum tasting at the Rum Distillery; & Zip lining at Dennery, (which I would not have ventured without Greg’s gentle persuasion. He has an inner wisdom about these things!) He was right. It was a brilliant experience. I loved my visit to St. Lucia and my stay at SunWest Villas. Many many thanks! :-)

I stayed at Sun West Villa in February and had an absolute blast with my girlfriend. The place has an amazing view of the beautiful rodney bay and the ocean! The Villas are comfortable and the layout makes vacationing easy with a big floor plan and all focused around the great views and the large patios. Greg (the owner) makes the trip. He caters to all of your needs, knows everything you need to know about the island and its great history, not to mention all the hot spots to drink, eat, lounge, tan, and be merry. I highly recommend this villa and will definately be back in the future.

My experience at Sunwest Villas

I actually ended up staying in the larger of the villas, (4 bedrooms) so my review is based on that one. Firstly, I must mention Greg, he was so................ accommodating and friendly, you really couldn't ask for more. Right from the very beginning he was helpful, coming to meet our hire car when we could not quite figure out which turning to take to get to the villa, down to leading us to the nearest supermarket that was open on a bank holiday. Greg was very supportive when I stupidly left my belonging in the hire car which were taken, (surprise surprise... that was dumb!) offering to help with the authorities and all sorts. I also have to mention Martha the cleaner, lovely lady, and very willing to offer assistance, showed me how to use the washing machine, that saved on a suitcase full of dirties!! The villa itself was spacious and full of light, the kitchen was really well equiped, not that I was going to be doing much in the way of cooking! There was a lovely large terrace too, with a wonderful view! I can honestly say that we were very happy with our stay, if there was anything that could be improved on I would say that it would prehaps be a good idea to have spare bed linens in the actually villa itself, there were plenty of towels but no beding and a laundry basket to pop the dirty towels in for Martha, rather than leave a pile on the bathroom floor, felt a bit guilty doing that, it would help keep the bathroom looking tidy. Apart from that no compliants. I would have no trouble recommending this villa to any of my friends, and I know Greg would make them feel most welcome as he did with us. I for one would definitely consider returning in a heartbeat! Thanks Greg!!

Best Place to Stay in Saint Lucia

I would like to start off stating that Greg is a godsend for anyone wishing to experience the totality of Saint Lucia. We had a wonderful time enjoying the beach and all the water related activities. Beyond that there are a host of things to do and see in Saint Lucia and Greg at Sunwest gives you access to all of these. He is available to take you to town or the beach every day and gives you a tour of the north end of the island, so you know your way around as soon as you arrive. He even gives you a cell phone to use, while you stay, so you can contact him at any time with questions or transportation needs. He is unavailable after sundown, but he gave us the number to a very reliable taxi service. My wife and I had such a wonderful time in paradise and found the peole of the island very friendly and helpful. I hope to return someday with the rest of my family, because there is something for everyone in Saint Lucia and Sunwest will give you the opportunity to enjoy as much as possible for any length of stay on the island. Sun West Villas are the best experience we have ever had for accomodations and Saint Lucia and her majestic Pitons are a paradise on earth not to be missed

Eine faszinierende Insel

Nach 4 Wochen Rundreise in der Karibik würden wir St. Lucia und Rodney Bay jederzeit wieder besuchen. Die Insel ist etwas ganz besonderes und für Touristen ist Rodney Bay mit seinen Stränden und Angeboten perfekt. Greg, der Eigentümer der Ferienwohnungen, führt am ersten Tag eine Informationsfahrt für seine Gäste in der näheren Umgebung durch und das war eine Riesenhilfe für uns. Wir hatten dadurch nur positive Erfahrungen sowohl bei Stränden als auch bei Restaurants/Bars. Wir hatten bei Greg einen Tag Inselrundreise im Pkw gebucht und es war phantastisch. Wir hatten tolle Erlebnisse an Orten, die wir selber nie gefunden hätten. Anschließend haben wir selbst ein Auto gemietet (über Greg) und noch einiges ein bißchen individuell vertieft. Eine sehr gelungende Mischung. In der Wohnung haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt, der Blick vom Balkon ist sensationell und der Pool ist groß genug, um auch hier mal faule Stunden zu verbringen. Die Betten sind bequem, überall sind Fliegengitter angebracht und von den anderen Gästen haben wir nichts gehört. Und Greg ist ein ausgezeichneter Gastgeber, der sich kümmert ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Es war eine wunderbare Zeit!

Coyoba - Sun West Villas

My friend and I visited St Lucia in December 2010 for 2 weeks, staying in Coyoba. The villa had an amazing view overlooking Rodney Bay and was very comfortable. The swimming pool was not very large but adequate to keep cool. The villas are in a quiet, relaxing area. The owner, Greg, was marvellous and very helpful. He picked us up at the airport (transfer time 1.1/2 hours) and then took us to the local supermarket so that we could do some necessary shopping. The next day he took us for a 2 hour detailed drive around the area and gave us important info on taxis, restaurants, do's & dont's. Every day he would give us lifts to the harbour. When I was unwell he took us to the medical centre and I was extremely grateful for his assistance. In the evenings we used the taxi companies that Greg recommended. The villas are up a steep hill and can be walked by the hale and hearty but we used taxi's all the time. The restaurants are very good and plentiful We went with Greg for a days island tour which was amazing - not to be missed.
