Cute ocean front view from my room. I liked the amenities they offered. Jacuzzi wasn't working. The hot water was hard to adjust in the shower. We liked the beach, it wasn't crowded at all. One thing i wasn't pleased with was at checkout they gave us our bill and didn't mention all these extra tips that they added and goverment fees. Also, they added a mandatory tourist levy fee and charged me 6 times for that. Overall it was a pleasant stay but i really wasn't happy with all these extra hidden fees.

What a glorious family run property with great attention to detail and wonderful hospitality. Its right on the beach...and in view of spectacular sunsets. The main road is busy and area not very walkable...so a good base to explore from or just to relax and enjoy the beach.

The cottage is oceanfront with beautiful views. Great location if you have a car. I would NOT recommend if you don’t have a car because the only restaurants nearby are those in other high end resorts and you need a taxi to get there. We had a car and enjoyed a few restaurants and also shopped at Masseys grocery store and fixed a few meals in out cottage which had a full kitchen. Recommend going to Windjammer resort to eat lunch or dinner at Jammers restaurant. Approx 10 min away. just tell the gate guard you are having lunch at Jammers and he/she will let you drive down. You will also want to wear your bathing suit underneath your clothes to enjoy a very beautiful beach there. It was the prettiest beach we saw on the north side of the island. The hotel was great, staff was very friendly, furniture dated but bed comfortable. Great value for the money. Don’t leave any money out, it may disappear. Otherwise, we felt safe.

Nice beach in convinient location. Nice looking property and friendly staff. Just do not listen to the owner's advises about dinning options as he will send you to the most expensive restaurants which are not that special - just go and try small local places as they offer the same if not even better or if you have a chance go to Friday night street food.

VBC was amazing. I was surprised at the cost and very glad I stayed here. The property was a little different than my usual vacations so I will not hold my personal likings against this property. The room was spacious. The furniture was fine. I don’t know what the other reviewers were talking about. It was better than some 5 stars I have been to. Having the jacuzzi was a bonus. My suggestion would be for travelers to bring some food with you to prepare your first night so you don’t have to run out first thing. I didn’t visit the laundry facility or the convenience store they had but that was also a welcoming touch. The staff were very pleasant. Yes you do hear some traffic but after a day or two it is not noticeable. The location was good. The beach was practically empty. I had the beach to myself most of the time. Mr. Colin meets with the guests and provides a history of st. Lucia and provides some tips. Oh and do read the binder in your room. It is very informational. Housekeeping starts very early in the morning. Grab your do not disturb sign at check in. I had a couple of hilarious moments with the woman who came to clean. Haha. Enjoy your patios for sunrise and sunset. Breathtaking views. They had security on the property which was nice. I’m a solo traveler and didn’t experience any problems in the community. Not that I expected to. You will not regret staying here at all. It was well worth the cost. VBC was wonderful.

The cottages were terrific and our 2 BR suite spacious and clean. Loved the balcony looking right on to the beach, waves 100 feet away. The GM was most helpful in planning our exploration around the island. The one draw back is there is not much within walking distance. But this is minor. Overall would recommend the Villa Beach Cottages highly

Upon our arrival we were welcomed by the friendly staff and provided information of the premises. The General Manager’s introduction to the Cottages and Saint Lucia was humorous and informative. All staff were helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay pleasurable. Loved our cottage, beach and views.

Great location, Outstanding Welcome, amazing Staff
The welcome you get from the staff, from Reception to housekeeping and the Cook,Pamela, is outstanding. The hotel itself is really attractive with beautifully kept gardens and a pretty fascia, and right on the beachfront which is quiet and private. It's right next to Sandals so security is good. We had a deluxe 2 bedroom Sea View Villa which we absolutely loved. It was very spacious and well equipped and the view form our bed was fabulous. It is on a busy main road so I think we had the best position as we only heard the sound of the sea. I would highly recommend this but would advise a car. The small restaurant serves a lovely breakfast and basic lunch but you need to cook or eat out at night. There a plenty of places to explore so a car is really useful here anyway.

We liked it soooooo much!!! It was so quaint and cozy! The rooms were so spacious and the kitchen was stocked with cooking things we needed for the week. The beach front view was breath taking! Nice pool and jacuzzi. However the jets in the jacuzzi did not work at all the whole time we were there when we pushed the switch. We got over that quick, just being in a majestic place like this and the surroundings. It was also nice to watch the sun set at night. The little store they have really comes in handy when you need something. It was such a nice touch to have the owner want to meet us and give us a background on the history of the place. Very nice and kind man! The staff is very friendly and helpful with anything you may want or need. We would definitely come back here again if we get the chance!

The villa beach cottages was a great place to stay,exactly what i envisioned beach front walking out my door onto the beach. Wow and breathtaking views. Small and private Iwill certainly return. Need to improve outdated furntiure and appliances, refresh pictures, add welcome basket for guest, your snack shack should have food they advertise at least let guest know before the order. Hot tub wasn't working. Need complimentary shuttle to market, also staff should be knowledgable everyone said something different I was celebrating my 60th birthday and my girlfriend enlisted their help on decorating while we were out and they did an amazing job

Let me start by saying I work in Hotel Industry so I am keenly aware of standards of service. That said, I am far from a "high maintenance," guest. The Highlights of this property was the Staff, Desk Agents "CanCan, and the other young lady with the Japanese First name (sorry I couldnt remember it) were pleasant and helpful. Shamanda our delightful housekeeper was very friendly and eager to answer and questions we had. The Engineer Ricky was always quick to handle whatever he needed to like when we needed an extension cord to plug in our FIRESTICK. The grounds keepers we also very nice. The "restaurant only serves breakfast and lunch and shuts down at 3pm. Also they rarely had all the items on the menu. The Property itself is in dire need of a refresh. It needs larger TV's (only 19") and smart TV's. We were promised a smart TV during our stay, but it was never installed. Better off not to have offered than promise and then not deliver. Still, we had our firestick so we managed the times we did sit and unwind with some television before bed. This property is a gold mind if it were updated just a bit and did something about the scant dining options on the property. Also the "hot tub" wasn't hot, and the jets didnt work. And the purported cold plunge was just a small pool, not cold at all. Those 2 amenities would have made a world of difference for me as a fitness enthusiast.

Could not have had a lovelier stay at Villa Beach Cottages- what a perfect home base for exploring the island! Check in was super quick and easy- i was offered a welcome drink and was in my room within minutes. Speaking of the room (21), my jaw hit the floor when i saw the view. It will literally take your breath away. Bedroom was large and spacious and tastefully furnished. The kitchen is fully equipped, should you wish to cook for yourself, but there are so many dining options in Castries and Rodney Bay! I suggest checking out Flavours of the Grill, Spinnakers, The Coal Pot for dinner, and you MUST visit Pink Plantation for lunch. The onsite restaurant is super convenient for breakfast and lunch. There are two smaller pools which are wonderful for relaxing, and usually very quiet- you'll often have them to yourself. The resort is literally right in the beach, which it shares with Sandals Halcyon Bay right next door. The staff are the best part of this place- they will go out of their way to make recommendations for activities and dining in the area, and will take care of any reservations, including taxis, for you. A couple minor maintenance issues, the worst being the slightly rickety boards on the pool deck which need a bit of attention in places, but honestly don't let that put you off. This place is a hidden gem that is family owned and operated, and they will go out of their way to make your stay magical and memorable.

Great room, everything you need in the kitchen. Comfortable bed, gorgeous view. Cute cats on property. Clean and friendly staff. Some things I didn’t like were 1.The restaurant closed at 3pm so had to order dinner early and although they had a store on the grounds there wasn’t a lot to choose from. 3 the stores are walking distance away but the traffic is busy and seemed dangerous to walk anywhere. Taxis were available but not cheap. Still a beautiful property and would revisit.

The staff was phenomenal!! Everyone was really nice and accommodating. We had ants in our room and told staff. They very expeditiously took measures to correct the issue and actually ended up moving us to their deluxe accommodation that was amazing (we did not ask to be moved, they offered). The sunset from top balcony was beyond fantastic!! The pools were small but adequate. Often times we were the only ones on the beach. If you’re looking for a boutique hotel with the kindest staff, look no further!! Loved our experience here.

My girlfriend and I just stayed at the Villas for 9 days. It was Beautiful, going to sleep every night with the sound of waves crashing and waking up walking down the Caribbean ocean, there’s nothing better. The staff was great to us, and if you make your way to the island for the Villas make sure you ask for Claudius the taxi driver. He is one of the greatest people we have ever met, and took us around the island all week. Couldn’t recommend Villa Beach Cottages enough, can’t wait to get back to Castries.
