This cottage was built in a bygone era (1858) in Windwardside and features stunning views of the blue Caribbean, the misty top of spectacular Mt. Scenery, and the picturesque village below. Within 1-3 min you can walk to 2 grocery stores, 6 restaurants, 3 bars, the PO, a dive shop, 2 tourist shops, 2 churches, and a lovely park with museum. It's been a popular tourist rental for 10 years now, especially with divers as the pick up point is just below. In 2022 a second separate efficiency apartment of 230 sq ft (22 sq m) was completed adjacent to the original cottage. Peter Hytte can be combined with the main cottage if three couples are traveling together, for example, as a small dive group. The apartment has a fully stocked kitchenette however there's plenty of space to dine and socialize all together in Althea Cottage if desired. For active travelers who don't need as much space as the main cottage offers, Peter Hytte provides the same views and amenities at an attractive price point. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Front entrance ramp - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator (single-level property) - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a village - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near the marina - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit ### General - Garden - Unit size: 938 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34010000/34006200/34006194/3c3130af.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Flamboyant Cottage - Spectacular View & Pool Windward Side - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 40 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-12&endDate=2025-12-13&selected=34006194&PinnedHotelID=34006194&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89690000/89687400/89687379/465c91ea.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Peter Hytte is close to everything at great price!

This location has many fantastic restaurant choices within a short walk. Our host Jeffery was wonderful. Very helpful. Because he lives next door he's always available. The cottage was roomy for the 2 of us. WiFi worked great and there's plenty of electrical outlets (American Style 110 volt). I can say enough nice things about this rental. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dale Mar 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Amazing cottage. We canceled our plans in Philipsburg to spend 5 nights on Saba. Great choice! The island is incredible and this cottage in Windwardside was perfect for us. We enjoyed world-class scuba diving with Sea Saba. Easy walk to bakery, markets, bars and restaurants. Near several hiking trails. We did not rent a car and did not need one. Excellent host! Highly recommend! ##### Dale Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geoff S.

We were then driven up to the charming village of Windward Side. Please anticipate taking lots of pictures and video. The host, Jeff was friendly and welcoming, as well as being an oracle of invaluable information on this unique island. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The cottage is like something out of a Hemingway novel. Only wish we could have stayed a bit longer. We would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Saba! ##### Geoff S. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan M.

Very comfortable and well located in the heart of Windwardside close to markets, shopping and good restaurants. It has everything you need for a short or long stay. Patio out back right under Mt. Scenery where you can see the clouds over the top of mt. Beautiful garden. Jeff/owner was very responsive and knowledgeable. Loved talking with him. Great person! Bedrooms separated by living room and kitchen. Very nice private layout. Definitely would stay here again! Thanks to Jeff!! ##### Susan M.

Three of us came to Saba for the first time, for a diving vacation. We had a great time and Althea's Cottage worked out perfectly for us. The 2 bedrooms with bath were at opposite ends of the house, we had a kitchen with dining, a large living room sitting area and back yard patio area. We were able to use an outdoor clothesline daily for drying our diving attire. The cottage is located with convenient walking access several restaurants, 2 grocery stores, a delicious bakery. and the Swinging Door Bar. We went on 2 hikes which were also within walking distance. The weather was favorable to keeping the doors and winds open which allowed the tropical breeze to flow through the rooms. Jeff our host, was very accommodating and help us with any needs or questions. We all agree it would be nice to return. ##### Judith J. Stayed 14 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jackie T. Mar 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Week in Saba! Our stay in Saba was spectacular! The cottage is charming, comfortable, functional and ideally located above Windwardside. It was a perfect home base for our daily hiking, and diving activities. We cooked most of our meals and found the kitchen to be well equipped including pots, pans, skillets, utensils, spices, etc. The house is located very close to two grocery stores that we found offered a great selection compared to many other carribean islands that we have visited. The matress was extremely comfortable and the house was never too warm due to a constant breeze. We enjoyed the cool breeze in the evening. The bathroom is functional and even had an ample supply of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The island, cottage and people we met made me feel as if I had traveled back in tome to a bygone era. The diving was good and the hiking spectacular. We did not rent a car, but probably will on our next visit so that we can explore more of the island. The car rental facility is right down the hill from the house. Be sure to hike to Mt. Scenery, enjoy a dinner at Tropics, visit Saba lace and learn about the amazing history of the "Saba Lace Ladies" who continue to carry on the rich tradition. The island is impeccably clean and we did not encounter one homeless animal (very different from many of the islands we have visited). Jeff is a warm and friendly host who we enjoyed chatting with. I highly reccomend visiting Saba and staying at Althea cottage! ##### Jackie T. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arno v.

Jeff was very friendly and every morning we had a brief chat when Jeff passed by when he started his morning walk and we were sitting on the terrace with our coffee enjoying the first sunshine. The cottage is in the center of Windward site and from there the bakery (daily fresh bread) and supermarket is just across the street. Several good restaurants on walking distance and also close to some marvelous trails. In the cottage everything was there for preparing breakfast/lunch or diner, relaxing chairs to sit inside when it was raining (yes we had some rain),Nice and clean bedrooms. ##### Arno v.
