Avis MARVIN VILLA- A beautiful Villa on the north west cost with fabulous sea views.

The house and pool are very nice, although the house layout is somewhat curious (could use a few more keys to the gate to the bedrooms). House is well furnished, could use a few more pool toys. Arranged transport from the airport and a rental car through the owner, that was well done, as was the property manager’s (Maxine) response to a minor maintenance problem. It is close to Vigie beach, within walking distance, but probably not if you’re taking a cooler, etc. Chairs are available at the beach for $10 USD/day; it would be nice if the house had a few beach chairs. The airport is only an issue when the prop planes sit idling for 20-30 minutes, pretty loud with some fumes, but otherwise watching them come and go is interesting. Yes, we’d stay there again.

Great location except for airport plane noise We enjoyed the house with pool. Our host was exceptionally helpful with restaurant recommendations and supermarkets. Accommodation was well equipped with complimentary coffee, milk water, a bottle of rum. Would certainly recommend it for any travelers to St. Lucia !

This location is awesome! Spectacular view of the bay and a 2min walk to Vigie Beach. The house is set up like 3 separate suites. The main suite has its own bathroom and shower, the other 2 rooms share a bathroom and shower. The Kitchen and living room space are separate from the rooms but that proved not to be an issue. The Salt water pool was perfect, not too warm or cold and we used it everyday. Lastly, Heather our host was extremely nice to work with. She was very responsive upon arrival at 9:30pm and checked in mid week to ensure we were completely satisfied.

A charming little villa :) Heather and her team were incredibly responsive! They had great suggestions about attractions and practical things like taxis. The pool is perfection and the view out of this world.

Marvin Villa was lovely. We were helped out by Maxine who was absolutely wonderful. She was always available and got back to us immediately about everything. She was fantastic and I have only great things to say about her. This villa is on a lovely property but yes, it is by the airport. We were not bothered by this but you can definitely hear the planes. The proximity to Vigie beach is perfect and was one of our favourite beaches, some days it was busier because of the cruise ships and some days we were one of very few families there. There are a few restaurants on the beach as well but make sure you go before 3ish because the food options run out. The location is nice, fairly central, 20 minutes to Rodney Bay and about 40min to Marigot Bay. You will enjoy your time better if you rent a car at least for a few days as there isn't a ton of stuff that is within walking distance. Maxine and Heather can arrange a car for you as well. The villa's main living area is open to air so there were a few bugs, mostly small fruit fly type things, didn't bother us at all but something worth noting. Also, just be aware that VRBO pricing is in AMERICAN. We ended up spending more than we thought because of this. We enjoyed our stay, would recommend.

We think this must be the best place to stay on Saint Lucia! We had a very warm welcome from Heather , the owner, and a meal ready for us on arrival, which was most welcome. The house is very comfortable and the pool is delightful with great views. Just a short walk away is Vigie Beach which we thought much much nicer than Reduit beach as it is not crowded at all. The location of the house is very central on the island and so makes getting around easy. We used a shuttle service to take us from the airport to the villa and Heather organized a rental car to be delivered and picked up from the house which was cheaper and more convenient than the usual rental companies. We had a lovely day with the Endless Breeze company sailing along the coast to Soufriere where we visited the volcano, mud baths, waterfall and had lunch in a chocolate plantation. We then had a great sail back up the coast. The company minibus picked us up and dropped us off. Another great trip was to the rain forest. Again the company minibus picked us up and dropped us off. It was a fascinating several hours exploring the rain forest, we did it gently in a gondola above the trees but the zip lining looked like a lot of fun. We had a lovely evening in Marigot Bay. We had dinner at Chateau Mygot right on the edge of the bay, delightful. The local beach was just gorgeous and the food at the bar was reasonable and tasty. Heather was a wonderful host, very attentive and helpful. Communicating with her was so easy from even before we arrived. A couple of things to be aware of: the third bedroom contains the security system, the noise from which could be disturbing; if you use Catalina to prepare a meal for you, have very clear communication on menu choice and grocery purchase to avoid misunderstandings; as in most Caribbean hotels and houses, there is no A/C in the living areas but there is a fan available. We had a wonderful and most relaxing time at Marvin Villa and would highly recommend it.

We had a great holiday and enjoyed our stay at Marvin villa. Well equipped, great view of the sea and a lovely pool. Carmelita's cooking and house keeping was much appreciated. Our driver, Diego really went out of his way to help us best explore the island and was very friendly. Most importantly, the gracious hospitality of Heather and her level of attention to our comfort was outstanding. She truly cares about her guests and it shows. Thanks again Heather! Paul, Debbie, Dave and Lisa

What can I say that hasn't already said? We have used VRBO several times in the past and this property may be the best yet! The location is ideal - no, the airport noise is NOT a problem! - and the house itself is certainly unique in design. Our check in was flawless (even though we arrived way past 9:00 PM) and Heather is lovely. Classy without being snotty - we like that! The staff are all wonderful. Catalina with her perfectly prepared meals, Brian the polite gardener, Fletcher the caretaker and Kendall who looked after the pool. There is an almost constant breeze which makes use of AC only necessary at night for sleeping. We hadn't planned on renting a car but so glad Heather talked us into and arranging a rental for us. We visited Rodney Bay and were very thankful we were at Vigie Beach as Reduit Beach is absolutely jammed packed with cruise ship visitors! On the way back to Hewannora Airport, we drove the West Coast through Marigot, Soufriere etc but be prepared for very winding roads and lots of "hair pin" bends. All in all, a perfect vacation at one of the best properties on VRBO. Thanks Heather and we still want to kidnap Catalina!

Marvin Villa is a great home base for a family trip to St. Lucia. Private pool, walk to the nearby beach, take day trips and have a cozy place to relax at the end of the day.
