A taste of paradise.

Castle in Paradise is so much more than a place to stay. It is truly home away from home with a wonderful view of the Atlantic ocean and all amenities.This Villa is approximately 10 minutes from the airport and upon arrival you can go straight for a cold Piton. There is no line up to check in or waiting for a table in order to enjoy your meal. Daily tours, taxi, groceries and more Piton can all be organized through the owner. Highly recommended and I would encourage anyone to try the experience of this beautiful Villa. I'm down for going back.....love it.

Business Trip

Overall a great stay. Only drawback is that the main living rooms warm up during the day due to a/c units only being in each of the 4 bedrooms. On a breezy day, opening up the front and back main doors helps to cool things down a bit. The dryer worked on and off. Would gladly book the villa again.

St. Lucia Family vacation

Property was nice but far away from many excursions. Transportation became a very expensive affair.

Wonderful vacation property

We had a fantastic time at this property in St. Lucia! We were met by Myrna upon arrival for the easiest check in. Our first night, we were blessed with a delicious meal (and wonderful company) by Virginia. The villa itself was beautiful, clean and well appointed. Communication between us, the owner and property manager were top notch. Could not recommend this property more!

Very accommodating staff

We found this property very clean, well appointed and well supplied with paper products as well as kitchen equipment. The staff was extremely helpful and very prompt when answering our questions and taking care of our needs. Ian, the caretaker, was particularly helpful to us and kept the pool sparkling. The property is located out of the tourist area which we really enjoyed along with unique family restaurants nearby. We would recommend this property to anyone who wants a St Lucian island experience

Beautiful place away from the crowds

This house is terrific, with clean rooms, big kitchen, nice pool and deck, charcoal grill, great views of ocean. The property is away from the crowds, so perfect in a pandemic! It is a drive to get anywhere, although beach is close and a couple of small restaurants. If you prefer big touristy crowded places, then choose somewhere else. But for true St. Lucia experience, come here! The cook (Virginia) and the manager (Myrna) were very accommodating and everything was terrific.

Very nice property and very responsive host

We loved the property and the responsiveness of the host. They had everything arranged for us including a car/driver at a very reasonable price. The Villa is big and very well maintained with nice views. It is a gated community, quiet and serene. The only concern I had was the location is a bit far from restaurants/shopping etc. So if you do not have a rental car you are dependent on someone to take you there. Overall, we loved the Villa and enjoyed our stay there.

4 Tropical Nights

We had an amazing stay at the Castles in Paradise and definitely enjoyed every second of it. The property was very clean and well-maintained, also easily to find from the highway. The listing description was very accurate, and the castle met our expectations! The atmosphere made us feel like we were staying at a homely villa. We really liked and enjoyed the Reef Beach Cafe. We visited the Diamond Waterfalls, the Tet Paul Nature Trail, as well as the Sulfur Springs, which was our favorite! We would gladly recommend this property both to couples and families who want to enjoy a vacation to the Caribbean.

Great and Private Villa

We loved our stay at this Villa. From start to finish, Oma, and Myrna were so helpful from picking us up at the airport to helping us book a couple of excursions. Ms. Virginia absolutely wowed us on the first night with the food she prepared that we asked her to come back two more times and both times did not disappoint! The villa is as pictured and is perched up on top of a hill. There is a great breeze all the time that keeps you and the villa cool without having to turn on the AC. Very clean and very comfortable. Will definitely book this again next time we visit the beautiful island of St. Lucia!

Pefect!

I will start by saying that we'll definitely be back. So far we traveled in many places around the world but we never went back to the same place because we like to try new things. Castles in Paradise is the first exception. The accommodations were top notch, the owner went above and beyond to make our stay perfect and the view was stunning. We were a group of 8 including adults, teenagers and two 10-year old kids and everybody had a blast. We also hired a private cook, Victoria, who prepared an excellent local meal. We look forward to going back to the perfect place on the perfect island.

Family Vacation

We had a great time at this property! Beautiful house, loved having the pool, all the rooms were spacious and had their own full bathrooms! Myrna (house manager) was great and always available to help with anything that came up! Jermile and JP (drivers) were great and answered any questions we had about the island and got us to our excursions or any place we needed or wanted to go. Virginia or VoVo (cook) was awesome and cooked great meals! She was always giving me ways to cook food and brought local things for us to try. House was cleaned everyday and they did a great job! Our vacations ran very smoothly with the help of everyone involved!!! Only drawback was the location. Most excursions were about an hour away. Had a great vacation and would definitely come back to this home.

Amazing villa

We stayed at the villa from March first through the tenth! The villa is beautiful, the view is fantastic! Myrna made checking in and out easy! Virginia is an amazing cook! The villa is located on the south side of the island in a quiet and secure neighborhood, we enjoyed the view and the peace. The villa was clean and well equipped for our stay. I really didn’t have any issues at all! I rate the villa 4 stars instead of 5 for one thing only based on the experience of my company. There were 8 of us together and everyone wanted a tv in their room! I love to wake up and go to sleep with a little noise so I would have liked that also, however I would not hesitate to book the villa again and I would definitely recommend it! Thanks Oma for a wonderful stay.

What a great stay

Myrna met us at the house upon arrival, welcomed us and gave us a tour of the house and any other important information and stayed in contact with us throughout our stay and made us some delicious banana bread. McDonald, our driver, was very knowledgeable about the island and was a great tour guide. Virginia's meals were delicious and a nice break from having to cook for ourselves. The maid service came in each day and the pool was cleaned daily. They were all polite and courteous. Overall, the staff was awesome! There were amazing views from almost anywhere in the house. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were spacious and clean. The house is located in the southeastern part of the island which is low key and quiet. To get anywhere you had to have a driver or rent a car. Overall, we loved the house and would stay there again.

Gorgeous house with gorgeous views

I had a great experience with this rental. The owner is a gem and he has a terrific staff on the island. The owner answered my many questions and connected me with people to help me with a project in St. Lucia. The house is located in a gated community a few miles from the airport. It is large. Lots of space to spread out. The bedrooms are huge with lots of closet space. The views from the house are breathtaking. I wish I did not have to work when I was there because I would have loved to spend all my time on the upper deck. I can’t say enough great things about this rental experience and my standards are high. I have rented 6 homes on VRBO for one week rentals since the start of the pandemic and all of the homes have been multimillion dollar homes on the beach (walkout to sand) in the US. Although not on the beach, this house and the entire experience was comparable. I will definitely rent again.

Perfect villa with picturesque views

This is astonishing villa that has it all. It is large and every well kept. Each bedroom opens to a balcony and has great breezes all day long. Whether you are on the first level, second level, or the roof, the views of the Atlantic and the island are breathtaking. The pool is just a few feet from the doors of the villa. The pool is part of a very large patio. The villa is located away from it all and is very peaceful. YOU NEED A CAR or driver. I suggest hiring a driver - the roads are very curvy and few street signs. The drivers are also aggressive. The owner, Oma, was very helpful and considerate. He also called to check on us. He helped arranged a cook and for transportation. He was great. I loved everything about this villa and my experience with the owner. I would recommend this villa to anyone who is looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation in St. Lucia.

Truly a Castle in Paradise

What a great vacation! My husband and I and two of our friends stayed here for two weeks. It is an ideal location since it is very close to the airport. The place is beautiful, the view is fantastic, and the entire group, including the owner, were wonderful to work with in order to ensure that we had everything, and I mean everything, we needed to make our vacation just perfect. We had access to a concierge, a housekeeper, a cook, a massage therapist, even the owner, but most of all a wonderful driver that was available to carry us anywhere, anytime we needed him on a 24-hour notice, sometimes less. This is very important since this place is located on the south end of the island. You will definitely want to book at least a day trip to the north end with him. The owner's team has all the information and access to anything and anyone that you need to make your stay easy and enjoyable. There is everything in that villa that you would ever need or think of. Even though there are two floors, each floor is well equipped for cooking, lounging, eating, and relaxing. Even though Covid restrictions are making travel difficult at times, you can rest assured that this team is up-to-date on all that you need and know where to get it and have the means to get you to what you need. This is very comforting in travel today. We all agreed that we will definitely go back and will stay here again. We hope the same owner and team will be there too.

Perfect place for total relaxation

We booked this villa because we wanted to avoid the crowds and all-inclusives of the north end of the island. We hit the jackpot! Mr McDonald picked us up at the airport and Myrna met us at the villa upon our arrival. We walked into the absolute best place to stay…we felt at home the moment we walked in! They took us to get groceries (Myrna guided us through the store, converting prices to US currency as we shopped) and brought us back for our delicious complimentary supper prepared by Virginia. We went to the mud baths, waterfall, Heritage Sight, lighthouse, Sugar Beach, and stopped for a seaside lunch with a Caribbean view thanks to our terrific driver, Miles McDonald! He’s the best…answered our endless questions, stopped on a dime to show us something we were interested in, took us to the grocery store, sightseeing, and shared his life stories with us. Myrna and Oma checked in with us to make sure we had not experienced any problems or concerns. But mostly we did exactly what we had come to do…relax! This villa is absolutely perfect for doing just that! King size super comfortable beds in each bedroom, two kitchens that are fully stocked with quality items of every kind, spacious bathrooms, plenty of storage, large dining table, and room….so much room….to move about in. The balconies are amazing…always a cool breeze! Pool area is perfect, too. If you can’t tell by my ramblings, let me tell you…this is paradise for those who are looking for an awesome place to relax and enjoy St Lucia! The owner and staff are so attentive…the best! We hope to return to St Lucia in the future and we know where we want to stay…HERE!!!!

Great vacation location

Great property location, close to airport, Vieux Fort town, and at least 3 really nice restaurants. We spent 10 days at the property, the place was clean, with regular cleaning service. Driver was available for trips/tours, and made great recommendations and suggestions regarding locations for sightseeing. There was also someone available to cook as needed. Vacation was disrupted by Hurricane Beryl, power outage was less than a day, water was also disrupted, however, owner was available and communicated promptly to resolve issues. Would recommend a generator for power during power outages, and consider adding weather strips to the patio doors, as water entered into the rooms during the rain. Highly recommended fixing the roads to the property. Would have given a five star rating if not for these issues.

Beautiful breath of fresh air

We celebrated my 50th birthday with a girls getaway. The house was well-appointed and very clean.The neighborhood was something out of a tropical fairy tale with lovely landscaping and fruit trees. Myrna went above and beyond by providing a delicious birthday cake and Virginia gave us culinary tour theough wvery wonderful meal she served. Everyone we met were kind and generous. I'm already planning to return as soon as possible!

Loud neighbor

+ Property is very nice + People are very nice and try to resolve any issues within their control + / - Arranged a few dinners which were good ($90 + cost of groceries). However the cook failed to show one night so we had to scramble after waiting and waiting. Had this happened to my guests, I would’ve called a restaurant to deliver or provided a credit to go out to eat - If the inconsiderate neighboring house is throwing a party during your stay, you will get no sleep. Sound is so loud that the entire house shakes and earplugs don’t help (we’re not old, we’ve never heard anything so loud, neighbor must have a concert caliber sound system). Owner said this is rare but this happened twice during our stay and there have been previous complaints. Had this happened to my guests, I would’ve provided a credit for the impacted nights - Location isn’t great. Close to airport but almost all tourist attractions are far away and nearby restaurants are limited. We were driving ~2+ hours almost every day Definitely avoid if the neighbor is throwing a party while you’re there. Otherwise it’s a decent option if you’re ok with the location

Best of everything!

A beautiful villa with views of ocean and hill sides. Layout is perfect with all rooms opening to veranda or balcony. Pool is clean and wonderful. Hammocks sway with the constant breeze. We enjoyed the location because it offered seclusion and peace, as well as accessibility to the beauty and activities of the southern and middle parts of the island. We took a wonderful day trip to the north and were happy to return to our retreat! Extremely accessible to the airport! The hospitality provided by the property manager, owner and support was beyond five stars! We enjoyed the near-daily service from housekeeping, delicious meals prepared by Virginia, concierge service from Myrna, and transportation and guidance from Miles. The property owner, Oma, is responsive and helpful!
