10/10 Excellent
"My husband and I had a great stay at Flamboyant Cottage. Before we arrived, the property manager had arranged for a taxi for us for both arrival and departure. The property manager met us at the cottage and took us grocery shopping right away, which made it very easy for us to choose between cooking or going out all week long. The cottage was nicely laid out with several different spaces to relax in: pool, gazebo, and porch. We had a great time hiking various trails on the island. Every meal we ate out, whether in Windwardside or The Bottom, was delicious. We met many nice people. Overall, we found Saba to be a very unique, beautiful, and safe place to visit!"

"Absolutely gorgeous property. There are not many places you can go and get the view you get here. The house itself is very special - the pictures almost do not do it justice. The host is very responsive, and his staff is incredibly helpful in assisting you during your time on Saba. We ran into a snag with our departing flight, and Mark did everything in his power to assist us in getting home.Highly recommend staying here!"
