Awesome St Lucia villa
Secret Cove Villa is an awesome place to stay in St Lucia. The views from the home onto the ocean are outstanding, and we got daily sunsets. It rained a little almost every morning, so we also got some really pretty rainbows over the ocean. You can snorkel just steps from the property, and the beach is about a half mile walk on the other side of the peninsula. We also made extensive use of the private pool. We traveled with five adults and two infants, and there was plenty of room for everyone. There is daily maid service if you want it, and the local property manager is easy to reach. The property owner can arrange in-home chef services, spa services, and yoga instruction, and we used all of those multiple times. The property owner also has a driver, Gus, that can pick you up and drop you off at the airport. I would highly recommend using Gus since the roads aren't great and you drive on the left side of the road. We used Gus multiple times throughout our stay, and I can't say enough good things about him. We did a full-day tour to the Soufriere area with Gus, and he took us to all the main spots, but we also stopped at some hidden local treasures. All in all, it was a great vacation and a wonderful property. I would highly recommend staying here.

Amazing vacation villa
We stayed at Secret Cove Villa for a week and words cannot express what an amazing week we had. The Villa exceeded our very high expectations. Rosemary was extremely attentive throughout the process. Gus, the villa driver was fantastic. By the end of the week, he was like family. Sophia was wonderful to have clean daily. We had Charles (chef) cook our first day meal and it was worth it. Pixie provided massages one day and she is a true professional. Highly recommended. We enjoyed snorkeling and shell-hunting on the private beach. We bird-watched on the property, saw a sea turtle swim in one day, enjoyed morning coffee on the patio and watching the cruise ships come in and out of the harbor daily. I just sat on the patio staring at the sea every day and it...was...perfect. Thank you Rosemary and your crew!

Perfect St. Lucia Stay
Our extended family of 8 had a wonderful stay in this villa, as it was well laid out, spacious, and had a wonderful pool and direct snorkeling access via stair to Secret Cove itself. Stunning sunsets every night, and cruise ship views were great as well. Central location in Castries was great to access both Rodney Bay and Soufriere easily, not to mention easy car rental at nearby SLU airport. Rosemary was highly responsive and filled with recommendations. Her staff from Sonia (house support), driver/tour guide Gus, and cook James were all outstanding - helpful and informative, and really excellent in their roles. Highly recommend this villa and all the delightful folks that do a terrific job and bring St. Lucian hospitality and culinary delights to life.

Beautiful villa and ocean setting
Villa is even better than photos. Very spacious with lots of room for adults to spread out. Great air con for sleeping in each room. Rosemary is the best host we have experienced re responsiveness and care. Great overall stay! Highlights were James cooking for us over 4 nights. He accommodated vegan and gluten free dietary needs with ease and the remainder of us enjoyed fresh fish each night he cooked. Accomplished chef with a healthy local ingredient focus. Highly recommend and the convenience of lovely dining on the ocean front terrace! As well, snorkeling from the rocky beach surpassed expectations. Better snorkelling than other beach locations (other than marine park at Sugar beach) and convenient and safe. Many species of fish. Habitat is natural and not pristine as it would be with a marine park but lots of fish. A wonderful surprise. Bring your own gear. Flippers not needed. Highly recommend Coal Pot restaurant as well. Grocery store 5 min away and easy to buy what we needed. We chose to rent a van and drive. Very experienced re LH side drive. BUT don’t rely on google maps - we ended up on steep hairpin turn secondary routes. Required tremendous focus to drive in sections. While we went out on a trip every other day and short drives for dining or groceries we would likely choose to work with Gus next time and relax!!

Loved our visit
The Villa is beautiful and very well maintained. We would definitely want to come back on any future visit to St. Lucia. Rosemary is very prompt with all communication and clearly wants the best for her guests. The driver for the Villa, Gus, took up to 10 of us around to different parts of the island on 3 different days, and made the experience so much better with his knowledge, stress-free transportation and friendliness.

Amazing house for big groups
This home was amazing. Great views and great people that helped during our stay. Gus was amazing and was able to take us wherever we needed, all the great reviews about him are true. Rosemary and Sonia were both available if needed. We did walk back from Vigie Beach one time, and it took us about 15ish minutes because you do have to walk up a big hill, so just be prepared for that. We were a group of 9 adults and we would definitely recommend this house to anyone and would definitely stay again if back in St. Lucia!

A Place Rich in Culture and a Piece of Paradise to Return to
Rosemary, from the very beginning was the most attentive and gracious host. This house and destination were a dream come true for all 7 of us. The house was immaculate, bigger than the pictures and the views were second to none. The only thing that could possibly outshine the house, pool and views were the impeccable "staff," which immediately felt like part of our family. Two members of our group wrote, "We have so many beautiful memories and feelings that we've brought back with us. One that stands out is Gus. Our worlds are so different, yet his passion for the island and all the gifts it gives will remain with us all. The whole experience would never have been possible without Gus. We hope he realizes his value in the sharing, keeping alive, and promoting the life and cultural history of St. Lucia. We thought this best expresses one of our families' treasures, which is Gus." Pixie has a gift in more than just the spa services she provides. She is full of profound wisdom and grace that you find in few people. Sonia and Gyver were so hardworking and attentive to any and all needs of the house and grounds. The "staff" truly made our stay feel like a home away from home. Our stay created a newfound love of St. Lucia and, most importantly, the island's people. We hope that we can one day return to this very property and island some day soon.

Amazing views, beautiful villa
Rosemary, thank you for your help and patience in the planning process for my husband's 80th birthday celebration. We absolutely loved your villa and all the pictures were true to the listing. Impressive kitchen that was very well equipped. From the moment we walked in the front door and welcomed by Sonia we were awed by the spaciousness and furnishings. Sonia was wonderful and attentive. Thank God for Gus he was a lifesaver. We used his car services all week. He was informative, knowledgeable, wonderful and friendly. Francis was a great driver and very pleasant. We had planned to use Chef James but when we called he was not in St. Lucia. He put us in touch with another chef but it did not work out for us. Loved the fruit trees on the property and we enjoyed a few ripe mangoes. Property was also spacious enough for my grandsons to catch baseball. The basketball net was also great. After I saw it I asked Sonia and she brought a ball for them to play. The only downfall for our stay was that we had the torrential rain all week and it prevented us from doing several activities. We would have loved to see the sunshine that all the pictures of St. Lucia show. We did see two rainbows. We would definitely LOVE to come back in the future. Thank you again Rosemary, your home is just beautiful.

Awesome House
We rented this property never having been to Saint Lucia, and boy am I glad we did. My husband and I traveled with 2 other couples. There was more than enough space for us. We could have even fit more people and still not feel cramped. To the point that we never even used the upstairs living room, we mostly sat at the outdoor table and sitting area. The rooms are all well appointed with a bathroom and closet space. There’s also an extra half bath downstairs, which is nice to run in to use when you’re relaxing by the pool. The house faces westerly so the sunsets each night were spectacular. We utilized Chef James on our arrival night and the food was delicious and it was nice not having to worry about making a meal after traveling all day. We also used Pixie for spa services on 2 different days. She was super and definitely affordable! We had one issue with a shower head and it was resolved very quickly by Rosemary as she is always available for any issues. Sonia the housekeeper was also helpful if we had any questions. Our trip would not have been complete without Gus though. He knew more about the island than anyone and was also willing to share stories and secret spots to get the best pictures. I’m glad we didn’t rent a car and having Gus available to drive to the grocery store, Castries Market or even all the way to the Piton was great. I would definitely recommend staying here anytime you’re on island.

Great house and experience
Rosemary and team made it a great holiday. We stayed with a couple families and kids. The vista over the bay was great (with sunsets and ships) and bonus was the snorkeling from the beach. It was as good as some of the places we had been taken on boat trips. We had been worried about the proximity to the small airport or cruise ships but it was really quiet. The chef and massages were a nice plus. Nice beach is a short walk that kids could do. Would recommend renting a car though.

A Fabulous Villa!
Having rented villas on VRBO for several years I can say that this was a top notch villa! Further, Rosemary, the owner, was the best I have ever dealt with, super timely and clear with communication, incredibly kind, but also going above and beyond to assist during our stay! The villa has a lovely private staircase down to the sea which was great for snorkeling, the pool was perfect, the villa itself extremely comfortable. I highly recommend Gus and Frances, our driver and guides for the week, they made it all so fun. Thanks Rosemary!!!!

Perfect Vacation
As this was our first time to St Lucia we couldn’t ask for a better villa to stay at. Rosemary greated us at her villa after arranging to have the 10 of us picked up at the airport. The villa is breathtaking with anything you would need. We were all overwhelmed as the first and every day we experienced watching the cruise ships go right by the villa to dock In Castries. There is a chef Jimmy that made us an incredible dinner on site! Sonya was there to make sure if there was a problem it was corrected. As we didn’t have a vehicle Rosemary connected us with Gus and he took us all over the island which was a blessing. The beach is a little walk but very nice. The pool was very refreshing as all of used it daily. I will recommend this villa highly to any large group as we all had our own bathrooms to match our 5 bedrooms that we used!

Million dollar view
Ok so we were a group of 10 adults and this place was perfect for us. Pros: immaculately clean. Almost 180 degrees view of the water from the deck or pool. (Like no bs the view is amazing). Private rocky beach is cool. Affordable! Communication the whole time. If you needed cabs, tours, etc. rosemary has a hook for it all. Cons: it’s not really close to anything walking distance. The little hot tub is not an actually hot tub just alittle pool with jets. Make sure you bring your own speaker, no speakers there. For me the Pros outweigh the cons a million times over. Loved the place.

A Glorious Oceanfront Villa
Beautifully maintained villa with nice bedrooms, lovely interior, and spectacular French Colonial porches looking out on 180 degree view of the Caribbean Ocean. Wonderful host and staff provided support but let us enjoy our private tropical paradise. We were able to cook together in modern kitchen, watch the sun go down and eat on the large porch off the high ceiling living room, and travel around the island for chocolate tours and birdwatching. We snorkeled in the little cove just below the house and swam in the pool. Absolutely fantastic!

Wonderful Secret Cove
This beautiful house is in an amazing location with everything you could ask for. The check in process was rough due to covid protocol, but the manager was amazing and immediately helped us find what we needed. Chef James cooked for us several times and always made meals special and delicious. We had an esthetician come to the house a few times for massages, facials and nail services. She was absolutely delightful and spectacular at her job. Every service was a winner! Secret Cove is a great place to just relax or a perfect jumping off point to explore the entire island. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic villa with million dollar view
Magnificent luxury villa - spacious and flawlessly decorated. Private pool overlooking the Caribbean was breathtaking! Spent many hours swimming, lounging and enjoying the view. Located at the entrance of a harbor we had a closeup view of the cruise ships entering and departing. While we experienced a couple of mechanical issues, the owner addressed and remedied the issues immediately. Thank you Rosemary! Also a big thank you to our housekeeper Sonya! She did a great job and was pleasant, friendly and unobtrusive. The villa had plenty of space for five couples. We enjoyed the many common gathering spaces yet there was plenty of space for alone time. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice of Secret Cove! Secret Cove has it all - view,spaciousness and luxury!

Ten Days of Paradise
I have been with Homeaway as a traveler since pretty well when the company started and now with VRBO. I used Homeaway at minimum once a year and sometimes more often. This is to say that I have stayed in some magnificent properties and have also seen some with need for improvement. This past holiday time we decided to go to Saint Lucia along with my brother and sister and their families. There were eight of us. Without any exaggeration this was the best property that I have ever enjoyed and it was perfect for us. The three couples all had their own bedrooms with en-suite and the two singles, each had the same arrangement with their own bedrooms. Plenty of room for everyone. Rosemary, our host, was always available and was able to arrange for "above and beyond" services, such as having groceries and refreshments waiting for us so that we did not have to go shopping for groceries when we arrived. Sonya also came by to sweep and tidy up just about every day. We were met by Tiffany, who was also available and there to let us in the home and show us around. I also do not recommend that you rent a car because the roads are narrow and left hand. Besides, Nigel provide us with rides anywhere we wanted to go, at a moments notice in his air conditioned van. We also had Alvin cook us a wonderful seafood meal, just for a break from our own cooking, which we also enjoy. He is a chef that you can use if you want a holiday from your own cooking as well. The pictures do not do justice to the property. It is much more beautiful! There is even coconut palms and a banana tree on the extensive property as well as fruit trees that I have never seen. The area was safe and the villa had its own remotely operated gate. We all used the private pool as well. For a family holiday I cannot think of a better place. There is lots or room for a larger group. For the eight of us this was perfect! Thank you Rosemary for putting up with our endless requests and for sharing this beautiful home. You were always there for us, and as I said, your involvement was well above and beyond any that I have experienced with previous hosts. You made us feel welcome and at home. Thank you again!

Secret Cove is a very comfortable residence. The staff is accommodating and willing and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. WiFi had some initial problems, but Rosemary was responsive, and had a solution in place in a timely manner, although it was a public holiday (Easter).We would recommend it to friends who wish to visit St Lucia.
