Do you yearn for relaxation and peace on your vacation?

Then start your day in the gazebo with a cup of smooth local coffee or a cappuccino, watching the sailboats glide along the sea (under a double rainbow if you’re lucky). After a breakfast of local fruit and homemade pancakes, slide into the pool and float, warmed by the Caribbean sun, surrounded by cashew trees and brilliant bougainvillea, with the postcard-perfect panorama of the Pitons and the Caribbean stretching across the horizon.


Have Doxie's pumpkin soup for a delicious light lunch, then pack up our snorkel gear and head to Anse Chastanet beach (less than 10 minute drive away) for an afternoon snorkel. Return to the villa to watch the sun set over the Caribbean in streaks of brilliant pink and orange while you sip local spiced rum with ginger ale, then dine on Doxie’s meal of grilled freshly-caught fish marinated in local seasonings with a salad, rice, and chocolate cake (from local cocoa, of course).


As the sky deepens to deep purple velvet and the stars emerge, take our Bluetooth speakers outside and listen to your favorite music while you talk with your companions, or just sit in awe of the beauty. Look up to see the inky black sky with billions of stars and the Milky Way flowing across it (when is the last time you saw the Milky Way?) Watch for shooting stars. Then sink into our comfortable Simmons BeautyRest mattresses and sleep deeply in the quiet, with just the breeze rustling the leaves and the singing of the tree frogs as a lullaby.


Or perhaps your ideal vacation is adventure and thrills?

Get up as the first fingers of dawn creep down from the mountains, grab some snacks and fill up our thermoses with water - you're headed to climb a mountain! Get a guide at the Anse L'ivrogne beach for the 2600-foot hike/climb or make it a little easier by starting higher up from Fond Gens Libre. Prefer SCUBA diving? Go out with Action Adventure Divers (“Chester”). ATV’s more your speed? Head to Choiseul for an ATV ride through the rainforest and chase each other along black sand beaches.


Whether you want to just relax or be very active, or a mix of the two, our friendly staff will help you have a memorable vacation. They’ll keep the villa clean, help you plan your activities, and anything else you need to make your vacation truly unforgettable. Hotels offer meal plans and tours and driver services, and we do, too - just inquire for details and pricing.


We’ve stocked the villa with adventure gear for you (beach chairs and towels and umbrellas and blankets, coolers, snorkel gear, etc.) and have WiFi throughout the villa with Alexa and Amazon Music Unlimited to make your stay even more convenient!


FAQ:

Staff:
Just like at a hotel, the staff must be in, on, or near the property most of the time. If you hire Doxie to cook for you, she has to do that in the villa. You may not tell the staff to leave the property or prohibit them from entering the villa for extended periods of time that interfere with their maintenance duties. You may ask them to give you as much privacy as they can while still completing their chores. Housekeeping and pool maintenance are performed daily.


Cooking/meals: Cooking services are extra and are from $12US to $25US to cook a standard meal for up to six people. Doxie also offers an option where she does the cooking and provides the groceries. Ask for pricing and details.


Privacy: Doxie is the only staff person that will be in the villa for more than a few minutes. If you prefer privacy, simply ask her to step outside when she is done or request that she does her indoor chores after you have left the villa.


Privacy and cooking services: You'll have to give up some privacy for cooking services, as meals are prepared in the villa kitchen and it's an open floor plan. Doxie usually comes up in the morning but cooks dinner in the afternoon, and she does not have a vehicle so she can’t go home and return when it’s time to cook. At your request, she will wait outside after completing her morning chores until it is time to cook. If you prefer as much privacy as possible but still want dinners made, we suggest you have her cook dinners on days when you are not in the villa.


Driver: We’re happy to provide you information on the driver’s pricing – please ask. If you wish to hire him, just let us know – you do not need to contact him yourself.


Insects and other creatures: We have mosquito-control traps and treat regularly for other insects. It is a tropical location, and the house is open-air (no glass over the windows) so there will be a few insects and other creatures (geckos, anoles, birds and occasionally a bat or mouse). Minimize flying insects by turning off all the lights inside the house at night if you are outdoors or closing all the doors at night if you are inside.


Air-conditioning: Given the open nature of the house, including interior walls that do not go to the ceiling, the air conditioning in the bedrooms will not be able to cool the rooms. They blow cool air on the beds to make sleeping a little more comfortable.


Welcome pack: We include a complimentary welcome pack of food and beverages, enough for a happy hour and a light dinner. We supply local Green-Gold coffee and a selection of teas for your stay. We can pre-stock the villa with other groceries upon request - inquire for price and availability.


Children: The villa and grounds pose inherent dangers for young children, including 220V outlets up 18 inches from the floor, chemicals stored in places children can access, and a 30-foot drop from the back railing to the forest below. Our staff’s duties do not include watching children, although they can arrange a babysitter for you at an extra charge.

Possibly the best vacation of my life.

Unbelievable! From the moment we arrived (actually BEFORE we even arrived), we felt so well taken care of and pampered. The property owner was so communicative, we never had to wonder about anything. The house is incredibly well appointed and the views are even more amazing than the pictures. Doxie, Junior, Kerryus and John made it their mission to take care of our every wish and answered our million questions about this beautiful country. Every recommendation for activities were spot on. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We can’t wait to return.

Beautiful holiday in St Lucia

Villa Grand Piton is spectacular, the view is breathtaking, it is quiet and peaceful. The Villa is incredibly well equipped, Loretta has thought of every detail, and that makes a holiday so enjoyable. Doxie was so helpful, and we enjoyed several of her dinners, she remained quietly in the background and kept the house clean and tidy. Doxie is amazing!

1st time in St Lucia

A beautifil villa with the most spectacular views! The villa came with a driving service and a cook if you chose to use them. We did! The road up to the villa was a bit brutal, but worth it! It was so private and restful there. The villa was well appointed with everything we needed. Very spacious and comfortable. Had a fantastic TV room with cable so we could watch the playoffs! So enjoyed our accommodations!

Planned a Christmas, graduation, get away trip for the family. We want someplace safe, memorable and beautiful. Well all three metrics were met easily. The entire process from booking till drop off for the return trip was first class. Hated to leave!!!! Doxie, Junior, Billy, Kerryus were just unbelievable and a true pleasure having their flawless work make our stay memorable . We miss the delicious meals waiting for us in the evening. Can't say enough about the great experience we had. Thank you so much Loretta for your responsiveness and sharing your property with us for a week. Can't wait for the next time we can visit. Maybe even have the chance to have our Navy son join us so that he to could share the unpatched please of the Villa Grand Pitton. Well done!!!

Villa in the Heavens

We are a family of 5- the house was perfect for us. We even had an extra bed if needed. From the moment we hit the airport with our pre-arranged pick up to the moment we got to the house, it was fantastic. Bear in mind if you are prone to motion sickness, the roads in St Lucia are not for the faint at heart - very twisty and turny. Once we got up the steep mountain we were greeted by Doxie who takes care of you at the villa - we had a delicious traditional meal of Roti waiting for us along with a festive beverage. The views from the Villa are breathtaking - better than the pictures. The Villa has every amenity you need for your stay - When they say to pack just your clothes, that's all you really need! There is everything imagineable at the Villa. We even weathered thru Hurricane Beryl - felt very safe in the storm. It was a great game and movie day. And let me tell you about the extensive video library - WOW - very impressive! Can't wait to come back!

Amazing experience to match a breathtaking view!

Loretta was a 5-star host. She was very organized. She provided a ton of material prior to our stay to help plan ahead. In addition, there was everything you could ever need at the villa, along with a friendly staff. I hope to visit again sometime, as the view was truly out of this world. Everything was exactly as explained and photographed, not gimmicks.

Bliss at Villa Grand Piton

Bliss...the one word that truly sums up our experience at this fantastic villa. Location : an unbelievable vantage point with the best views on the island for sure. The view is a jaw dropper and we just never got enough of it. Villa : airy and bright, super comfortable and generously provisioned. Staff : efficient and polite, they make everything you may want possible. Our week here passed in a flash. Mornings on the beaches below us and then back to our gorgeous villa in the afternoons : to spend the rest of the day in the pool and drinking in the views : which get better and better as the evening draws near. Cant wait to be back

5 out of 5

Just finished our stay at Villa Grand Piton and first visit to St. Lucia. In a word, marvelous! Since we had never been to SL, we took a bit of a chance on location of the island and residence or resort. We could not have been more pleased. The Villa is definitely 5 star. The staff and arranged team (driver, tour operator and cook) are superb. The owners have thought of every possible need and stocked well. Other than a rough road ride from Soufriere to Villa, I can’t think of an improvement needed. One of the few times we actually may rebook same spot in the future. Highly recommended.

A Slice of Paradise with Exceptional Service

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Villa Grand Piton, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning view of the Pitons – it felt like we were in a postcard. The villa itself is beautifully designed, with spacious rooms, elegant furnishings, and all the amenities you could ask for. The outdoor space was even more spectacular with a pool (well maintained by Kerryus) and many comfortable places to sit and lounge all with views of the Pitons. But what truly sets Villa Grand Piton apart is the exceptional service. Loretta, our host, was very good at helping us plan our stay and answering all of our questions ahead of time. Doxie was there to greet us when we arrived at the villa and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. She took care of every detail, ensuring that the villa was immaculate and that we had everything we needed. Her cooking was a highlight – we enjoyed delicious meals with a breathtaking view. And then there’s Junior, our taxi service and guide. He not only handled all our transportation needs but also helped us plan our activities and act as our local guide. His friendly demeanor and knowledge made our excursions even more enjoyable. In summary, Villa Grand Piton is a slice of paradise, and the warm hospitality of Loretta, Doxie, Junior and the other staff made it an unforgettable getaway!

Loved it!!!!

Our family had a wonderful time at the Villa Grand Piton. The Villa is very spacious and well-equipped. The view is absolutely gorgeous. My family loved having meals in the gazebo, especially when the birds came to visit everyday. Relaxing in the pool at the end of an adventurous day was one of our favorite pastimes. We highly recommend hiring Junior’s car service. They were very helpful in arranging activities and they were very accommodating. Doxie was a wonderful cook and very knowledgeable. We have rented many villas from home away in the past, but we have never experienced such a well- organized host as Lorretta. All of her information was accurate, and her response time to questions was better than high end resorts.

Relaxing family vacation

Amazing property with breathtaking views. From the first communication with Loretta I knew we were in good hands. She was quick to respond to my questions with helpful advise. We felt so at home with Doxie, John and Kerryus each day. The pictures don’t do the view justice. It is amazing. Doxie’s rum punch is the best and she had fresh mangos every day. Kerryus roasted cashews fresh off the tree. And Billy took care of getting us anywhere we needed to go. If you are thinking about renting a car, don’t. The road is not for the faint of heart. Junior and Billy know what they are doing and do more than just get you where you need to be. They are guide, translator, concierge, and don’t-hassle-my-guests sentry all in one. Great week. Best vacation!

Paradise

Our trip to St. Lucia came about after other plans back in the states fell through, and Villa Grand Piton cemented our desire to travel to the island after reading about the Villa, its reviews, and looking at the photos time and again. We cannot say enough about this place, the environment we called home for a week, and the staff. Doxie’s meals were incredible, Junior and Billy entertained and advised us about excursions while driving us around the island, and Kerryus picked cashews off the tree and roasted them for us! Amazing. The peacefulness of Villa Grand Piton is beyond words. The wildlife sounds will melt away any tension that you might bring with you, and the birds will literally eat out of your hands. St. Lucia should be a vacation destination for those who wish to get away, and Villa Grand Piton is the benchmark for a perfect vacation. Great Villa, wonderful people, and should you elect to dine out a couple nights as we did, two amazing restaurants nearby in Boucan and Dasheene. Just go there and be amazed.

Breathtaking!!!!!

From the moment we arrived the service was 5 star all the way! Junior greeted us at the airport and made sure we were all ready, the owners actually greeted us when we arrived along with Doxie who by the way was so fantastic! The home is stunning and the views every morning, afternoon and evening are like nothing you can put into words. The beds were so comfortable, accommodations they thought of everything! They have towels for the beach, the sulphur springs, chairs for the beach... you name it they have it. Having Doxie to shop for us when we ran out of things and cook for us when we needed it was next level. We hired Junior and his team to drive us everywhere we needed to go and I highly recommend you do that as it is so much easier to have the drivers. Junior also was a concierge getting us a captain and a boat for a day trip to the north end of the island for shopping and lunch. This was out of 13 Caribbean islands we have visited the best trip so far. We brought my 75 year old mother as well and they took such great care of her and it was a trip of a lifetime for us all. I can't say enough great things about the home and the entire staff. I highly recommend utilizing Doxie and Junior! Thank you Grand Villa for the best trip so far of my life. We will definitely be back!!

Best View on the Island

The Villa is really beautiful. The view was beyond anything I could have imagined. The home is large and spacious. The main problems were that the driver did not show up at the airport to pick us up, as planned. Another driver who knew our driver was able to work it out for us. After a period of waiting, we made it without trouble. The house is absolutely gorgeous. Delicious rum punch was waiting upon arrival. The view, as stated, is probably the best in the island. We loved Doxie's cooking. The only problem with the house was the noise. It has the open air ceiling design (which I am sure is to help with airflow), but it leads to being able to hear EVERYTHING- someone going to the bathroom, conversations, and more;). We were 2 couples and a single friend. It was definitely limiting for our group since there seemed to be no chance to be intimate with your spouse, but I can imagine a family with kids or another group dynamic this house would have been perfect- better than perfect. I would definitely stay here again with a different group makeup, but would not recommend for a group of "couples".

Breathtaking views from a beautiful home.

Loretta and Bill have thought of most everything. This large three bedroom, three bathroom house has everything you could need from basic toiletries to chargers to travel mugs to a good movie for a night in. Each of the bedrooms has a bed fan, slats on the windows and doors that can be adjusted to allow ventilation, a fan and an wall AC unit. All of the reviews about the noise traveling through the house are accurate. The wall of doors open up to a stunning view of the water and the Pitons. Once outside all stress melts away. Be prepared to share the patio and house with a few friendly birds. They don’t hesitate to fly into the house and hang around the kitchen when the doors are open. Listen to the advice locals give. It is accurate. Close the house doors before dark to keep unwanted pests out. Do not rent a car. Gros Piton is a moderate to strenuous hike. Doxie is lovely and her meals really are as good or better than the local restaurants and she is happy to cater to your needs. Junior (the taxi driver) was extremely reliable. Overall, the property is beautiful and the house was a perfect retreat for us for the week.

So relaxing our vacation slowed down!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Villa! The view is amazing. Waking up every morning and opening the 4 large double doors to that view was a great way to start our day. All of the staff were very helpful and nice to have around. They were very accommodating and would show up when we asked them to. A couple of days we wanted a later start and that was not a problem. The Villa has everything you can imagine you may need and more. It was so great not to worry about anything. Beach bags, Sun hats, pool and beach towels, snorkel gear, cooler, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, outdoor portable speaker you can take to the beach with a bottle opener built in to open your Piton Lager Beer, and much more. More on the staff. We had Doxie cook us 3 meals during our stay. It was great to come back to the Villa and have dinner cooked and ready to go when we were ready to heat it up. We all agreed that Doxie’s food was the best food we had all week. There was not one thing we did not love. Some of the favorites were her pumpkin soup and fish fingers. We had her other “squash “ soup and it was amazing as well. One night she grilled bone in chicken with bbq sauce and that was delicious and a nice change from all the Caribbean flavors. We decided once we got there not to rent a car and use Juniors service to get around. He was very helpful with helping us plan our days. We felt so relaxed and taken care of that our vacation seemed longer. Highly recommend!

Fantastic villa, Spectacular View

We had a wonderful stay at the Villa Grand Piton! It exceeded all expectations. The villa is situated at one of the highest points on the island and has the absolute picture-perfect Piton view. There is plenty of outdoor seating in both sun and shade to capitalize on the spectacular setting. The villa itself is large, beautifully maintained and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The staff (Doxie, John and Paul) was extremely accommodating and kept everything running smoothly. There was a generosity of spirit that extended thought the villa and in every interaction. Dealing with Loretta was a cinch, the welcome basket was incredibly bountiful and provided everything we needed for the first day or two. Taking advantage of the free taxi from the airport is highly recommended. We then had a car delivered to the house the next day by Drive -a -Matic. We did not find driving on the island to be too challenging except for the stretch of road right up to the villa. Going slowly and having a 4 WD made it very manageable. Given the spectacular setting , we did spend much of our time just relaxing at the villa. We bought fresh fish in town from a local fisherman, stocked up on fresh produce from some street vendors and ate wonderful meals in the gazebo watching the sun set and stars emerge. We are very frequent villa-renters and have travelled extensively. This villa stands out for its great setting, high standard and ease of rental. We have already recommended it to friends.

My sister and I needed a break from our NH winter! We did a ton of research and landed on this gorgeous home. From the time we got out of the taxi and saw the view we were hooked. The house is well appointed and the beds very comfortable with beautiful views from the guest room and plenty of seating outside for our meals and lounge chairs by the pool. We LIVED outside! We used Jr. 's taxi service and he was wonderful! He knows the area very well and he took us on a tour around the island ($100 US plus tip) and we stopped at Diamond Falls, a volcano (could have skipped that!) and a beach where we walked and looked at the boats and beautiful scenery 🌴 Jr took us back to the airport ($80) and took my sistet to the store for grocery shopping ($40) The ride to the house from the airport is about an hour and very rough. Unless you have been to St. Lucia before done try to drive. We were so grateful that we were told not to drive. Although the ride was a little rough it was worth every bump in the road once we arrived. Lots of big fluffy towels, a great movie selection as well as tons of books to read by the pool with your drink of choice. Doxie, our housekeeper for the week, made a wonderful rum punch that we enjoyed at sunset almost every night We were never hot as the breezes up on the hill were very cooling, but there is AC in the bedrooms if needed. We had a few challenges while there and Doxie was a big help, even giving up her day off to help us with the grill. We also had an issue with the safe and she fixed that within 10 minutes! She will be your go to person for everything you need. One of the things that appealed to us about this house was the jacuzzi tub, but it wasn't working while we were there so we were a little disappointed but it did not dampen our enthusiasm about our entire experience. The welcome basket came in handy as we were tired from traveling most of the day. Loretta was a wonderful host and checked in with us our first full day to make sure we were happy. We had a great vacation and I'm sure you will love your stay as well.

About the host

Hosted by Owner - Bill and Loretta

Host profile image
We've been married for over 20 years, and our youngest child just graduated from college. Loretta is close to retirement, but has a stressful full-time job as an engineer in the energy industry, and has to fight the traffic of a big city every day. Bill retired a few years ago, but is busy as a consultant and a planner for the next phase of our lives. A few years ago, we started looking for a place to spend our retirement, and decided that St Lucia was the only choice after visiting multiple times. We grew up in the Midwest, and never, ever dreamt that we'd retire in the Caribbean! But we love St Lucia so much, we decided to buy our retirement home a few years early, and share our home, so that you can experience the joy of spending time in St Lucia, too.

Why they chose this property

We knew it was the right place for us the moment we stepped out of the car - the view of the Pitons stopped us in our tracks and we just stood there, awestruck, for a few minutes. Then we picked our jaws up off the ground, walked into the house, and saw how spacious, light and airy it was, and instantly knew this was the only place for us. After spending our first evening there, gazing at the Milky Way and listening to the tree frogs and the breeze rustling the leaves, we could not imagine any other place that we could call home.

We hope you find it as magical and restorative as we do.

What makes this property unique

We started vacationing in St Lucia 15 years ago, and the beauty of the island, the weather, and the friendliness of the people convinced us we had to spend as much time as possible in there. We've visited much of the Caribbean, and we've never found any other place where the people are as genuinely warm and caring as in St Lucia.

St. Lucia is a wonderful getaway whether you are looking for romance, rejuvenation or exciting activities. Palm-fringed beaches, unspoiled rainforests and the majestic Piton Mountains make up the gorgeous landscape of Saint Lucia. Natural waterfalls, breath-taking views, friendly locals and authentic culture are sure to impress even the most cultured traveler. St. Lucia has some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Among the natural beauty of the island are ancient fortresses, fishing villages and gracious town squares waiting to be discovered. You can hike, bird watch and explore the natural attractions of St. Lucia or you can take part in many of the activities on land, water or air from horseback riding to SCUBA diving to helicopter rides.
