Swimming pools - In addition to fronting quite possibly the most beautiful bay in St. Lucia, the Villa Beach Cottages boasts a picturesque small plunge pool with waterfall and extensive decking, and a full-size swimming pool fed by the constant flow of a river rock waterfall that pours first into an inviting heated jacuzzi and then into the cool clear water. Surrounded by cut white stone and tropical hardwood decking with chaise loungers and market umbrellas.

Beach - Our villa suites cannot get more “beachfront” than where they are located. A golden sandy beach kissed by the Caribbean Sea is literally feet from the villa suites. Walk hand in hand in both directions along Choc Bay and watch a glorious sunset. For relaxation beach chaise loungers, umbrellas, cushions and beach towels are provided free of charge. There is also a beach bar and restaurant next to Villa Beach Cottages along the beach.


Entertainment: Go back in time and relaxing in an unspoiled, peaceful setting, surrounded by an explosion of nature. Reach out and pick breakfast from the orange, grapefruit, and mango trees growing into the verandah.reaching out and picking breakfast from the orange, grapefruit, and mango trees growing into the verandah.

Testimonials
Testimonials: Here is want our guest have to say:

1).“A quick note to again say “thank you” for the care and attention I received from you and your staff while I was on vacation. I came home really rested and relaxed – you have the atmosphere and surroundings for the perfect vacation.” Edith Johnston, London, Ontario, Canada (after her 21st visit to the Villa Beach Cottages)

2).”We took our first trip to the Caribbean in the early 80’s, we wanted a small place on the ocean and we discovered the Villa Beach Cottages…we arrived at night and with the warm breeze blowing through our cottage and the sound of the ocean crashing on the shore, we immediately fell in love with this place. We felt duty bound to visit a few other islands and hotels but nothing could compare, so we have been coming back every year since then. As a painter I find the Villa Beach Cottages very beautiful. There is something of interest everywhere you look. Everything goes together, the colour, the design, it is unique and all the personal touches and friendships over the years have made this place my second home.” Adelaide Rice, Trumansburg, N.Y., USA (interview after her 15th visit)

3).”We will not be the same after our brilliant time in St. Lucia, and particular here at the Villa Beach Cottages – Choc Bay, may I also take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for your kind assistance and patience; your approach to your customers is most refreshing and welcoming and in no small way contribute to our return next year.” Loraine Martins, London, England

4).”Thank you and your staff for the excellent service I received while a guest at Villa Beach Cottages last week. You can be sure that I am recommending Villa Beach to everyone I know who is looking for comfortable, modestly priced lodging in St. Lucia.” L. Blackman, Bridgetown,

5). ”Back in Holland visions of hammocks keep popping up in night and day dreams. The ever changing panorama from the many windows in our cottage. And of course the most pleasant reception we’ve experience in a long time…will keep pondering the moment when we will be there again.” C. Westendorp, Dinther, Holland

6). ”Please let me thank you again for these three weeks at the Villa Beach Cottages. Staying at your cottage for the second time we felt as well as home, and submerged by the beauty of Choc Bay and the exotic vegetation surrounding us in your garden. Once more, we especially appreciated the personalized tour proposals as well as the qualified advice and hints for our self-organized tours on you beautiful island. The fine atmosphere that you and your employees are creating for your guests is one of one pillars of our love for St. Lucia. We are looking forward to our next visit.” Dr. Eva & Heinz Hummel, Freckenfeld, Germany
