Spiritual place with breathtaking views
The Haiku House has a feel of being at one with the best parts of the nature. It is engulfed in rainforest yet overlooks the town called The Bottom.. It feels like having the best of both worlds of a zen resort and a close by town with amazing food and friendly locals: We enjoyed opening up the wall sized sliding glass doors feeling the breezes off the ocean. Cecee was so helpful figuring out creative solutions to our flight problems that allowed us to get here more quickly and safely without having to lose another day of travel. Having a option to rent the car was so useful. She calmed our nerves about driving on the very steep hills that make this island so beautiful and we were pros after our first trip to the restaurants on the Windward Side. We were dropping our daughter off at school on the island and she enjoyed acclimating, and studying in the office of the Haiku House. The house and the island are amazing and we will stay here every time we come back. Words cannot describe how beautiful the views are from the back deck with multiple comfortable seating areas around a serenity pool.

Family vacation
This was a fabulous home. Honestly just a gorgeous house and Cece was wonderful to work with and very attentive. This was a family trip. My husband and I, and 3 adult kids. We take a yearly scuba trip. So far this is one of our favorite rentals. If not THE favorite! The architecture was just beautiful. The view from the house was just breathtaking. We would open all the glass doors/walls of an evening and just enjoy the breeze. Truly a Haiku House. We loved the island too. Very different from other Carribean islands we have travelled to in terms of terrain and climate. Everything from a rain forest, a mountain, and an ocean experience. Lots of hiking and of course scuba. We really enjoyed the dining experiences also. I encourage you to plan your eating out. Restaurants are open and closed on random schedules. Cece can help with that. Definitely plan your dinner when first arriving. If you arrive later in the evening options can be limited. And the residents are all very kind and accommodating. It’s a long day of travel from Texas but well worth the experience.

Amazing! Magical! We will be back!
As I stated above..Amazing! Magical! We will be back! The Haiku House is so comfortable and inviting and is I stated above and well beyond the pictures you see on Vrbo. Beds, house, kitchen, dishware, showers, pool, hot tub, furniture, art work, stereo, music, ...all first class. And, it has a "million dollar view" that you will never get tired of. The Island of Saba is unique, The island structure wise is breath-taking, with a great small community feel. Diving and snorkeling is great (we did 10 dives with Sea Saba). The dining was fantastic as well. Hiking was the best ever (bring hiking poles, which we did). But, most importantly, was the care provided by the Haiku property management team...they booked our taxi to the Haiku house from the Ferry, met us on arrival, made all of our reservations for dining out, taxis, in home cook--Chef Michael, you name it.... whatever we needed...just amazing service! You will not regret a minute of your time on Saba and staying at the Haiku House...I will be back! Mark

Beautiful, architect designed house with stunning views
Our family just spent a week at Haiku House on beautiful Saba. The house is well designed and perfectly located to enjoy cooling breezes and lovely views of the ocean and town (the Bottom) below. Michael was an outstanding host, volunteering to buy groceries for us prior to our arrival due to holiday store closings. He also coordinated our car rental, dinner reservations and taxis. He made the arrival process smooth and pleasant. We felt quite pampered by him! Haiku House has three nicely decorated bedrooms with a/c for comfortable sleeping. The windows in the living room and master bedroom slide open completely, allowing the tropical breezes to blow through the house. The house has a large, comfortable office (if one sadly has to work during their stay!). We enjoyed drinks and dinner on the deck most nights during our stay. Other highlights: sunsets and stargazing from the lower deck, warming up after diving in the jacuzzi, watching the clouds blow by during brief rain showers. Saba was a very pleasant surprise! The diving is outstanding. The hiking is also very good—we particularly liked the Sandy Cruz trail which ends very close to the house. The architecture on the island is charming—red roofs, “gingerbread” trim. The locals were welcoming and seemed happy we were there (probably since Saba isn’t overrun with tourists like many other Caribbean islands). Our family has stayed in many vacation rentals over the years. We agreed that this was our favorite to date!
