========================
Interaction with Guests:

Should you decide not to hire a vehicle, we can provide a pickup service from Hewanorra international airport upon your arrival. Our charge is reasonable, below the standard taxi fare. A tour around Saint Lucia is the main feature on visitors' "to-do list." We can provide this service at a reduced rate; the choice is entirely yours. Whatever your needs are, please do not hesitate to ask. We will be available 24/7. We are committed to ensuring the comfort of all our guests. Therefore, we will respect your privacy.
========================
Other Things To Note:

Along with the natural lighting, there is a constant flow of cool tropical breeze throughout the holiday apartment. In addition to the A/Cs, there are ceiling fans in every room apart from the toilet/shower.

We ask that our guests use the AC discretely. Whatever time you are awake in the mornings, we suggest you open all the doors and windows to allow the free flow of cool breeze through the apartment; it is safe to do so. You can also leave all windows and doors open whenever you go out as long as we are on the premises; we will secure the apartment if we decide to go out later. Please note that the electricity supply in Saint Lucia is 220- 240V, but we can accommodate 110V. You may, however, bring along your power converter if you wish.  

The added convenience of mosquito screens that we have fitted on every door and window throughout the vacation rental ensures that you can sleep and relax in total comfort.
========================
Getting Around:

Our vacation rental is in a community characterized by a mix of town and country life a short distance away from the rainforest. Less than 2 minutes walk or drive off the high road, you will arrive in an area free from disturbance. Hiring a vehicle for your stay is recommended.
==================
Vehicle Rental & Rates

We do our best to facilitate you by providing as much information as you may require; that includes vehicle rental. By doing so, we save you time, and in many cases, money too.

Most of our guests rent a vehicle during their vacation. Having your car means you have total control of your time, you manage your vacation to suit your schedule, and most importantly, you can explore our beautiful Island to the fullest.

You will require a St Lucia driving permit to drive on the Island. Driving is on the LEFT side of our road. The pass is valid for the duration of your stay. If you hold an international driver's license (IDL) or international driver's permit (IDP), then the St Lucia driver's permit will not be necessary. You can obtain your IDP from the American Automobile Association for our USA guests. (AAA). Contact your local AAA office for further details before you travel. Please make sure that you bring your National Drivers License with you.

For those who would prefer a cheaper alternative, you have the option to use our public transport.

"LUXURY APARTMENT!"
10 STARS!!!!!!!!!!!! This was such a revelation to us upon entering our vacation rental that we were just overwhelmed! The living room is huge as is the kitchen which has a myriad of appliances. It was always cool with the windows and doors open (with screens on all of them) and you have the choice of a fan or A/C in the bedrooms. We were able to get up, have coffee on the patio, eat breakfast, and then go when WE wanted to go. Margaret offers taxi service all over the island beginning with picking you up from the airport, seeing all of the sights (even setting you up with an experienced guide for the Pitons, bird watching, water fall, etc.), and dropping you off at the smooth water sand beach or where the ocean waves come rolling in (she left us with Marcus, who is a great guy, has lounge chairs, and drinks). I would very much like to stress to use Margaret as the taxi drivers just want to get you there as fast as they can. Margaret tell you all about the island, take you to the beach, and will return at the appointed time. Margaret is happy to take you to the bank to get Caribbean Dollars (if you don't get them at the airport) as it is much easier to pay as the US dollar is worth about 2.70 times the CD. Grocery shopping is a breeze and if you just want to stop to get a local meal, which are delicious, she can help you with that. We thoroughly enjoyed this vacation over the "resort" style vacation as we were treated to a "VERY EXPERIENCED!" host. Margaret and Stephen are wonderful, kind, and courteous people who attend to your every need INCLUDING current Covid requirements and when you need them. As a final thought- we simply want to go to the Caribbean during the winter and have found a "Home Away from Home!" It takes all of the worry out of planning for a vacation as Stephen and Margaret are in touch with you keeping up with your arrival and agenda. NOTE- we stayed for 5 days, went to Martinique to sail on Eye of the Wind, and came back which was such a relief to be "Back Home!" Some people were not so lucky as they stayed for 3 days, went somewhere else, and were so disappointed that they called to come back. It is ABSOLUTELY that nice! Please enjoy our home away from home. :)

Home away from Home
We really like to vacation in a home and this was perfect. It was an outstanding home close to the south of the island fairly near the airport and very close to the new Horse Racing track! Margret picked us up from the airport and she and Stephen got us settled in and later Margret dropped us of at Sandy beach for dinner that night. She is available for driving around for a fee but we rented a car to explore. Getting to the north side takes about an hour to hour and a half on very windy up and down roads but it was worth it. We did a sailing trip with First 4 sail on Papagayo, a 40 foot racing yacht most excellent. And of course hiked up to signal peak and Fort Rodney. then Margret got us a tour with her guide Jahrod for the Gros Piton hike and his own Sapphire falls and jungle spa sulfur hot water. Had a great time and the home was well stocked with every imaginable appliance even an electric pizza oven (set off the fire alarm with that:) And yes the AC was great at night in the bedrooms for a great sleep. Cable TV with smart TV for you tube if you need that. Also left side British style driving.

Perfect Place to Stay
Stephen and Margaret were the most amazing hosts imaginable. My mom and I stayed for a week, and they were absolutely wonderful to us. We decided we were too uncomfortable driving around alone on the crazy roads in St. Lucia, so Margaret chauffeured us all over the island for a very low price and was more than accommodating. They planned out all of our excursions based on our interests, and Margaret kindly made us a delicious dinner after a long day of exploring when we were too tired to go buy food. She cooks a delicious breakfast as well, and the homemade cherry juice is beyond delicious. The house itself is immaculate - we cannot get over all the beautiful details in the tile and the great care that has been placed into this house. The floor was so clean you could eat off of it, and we did not see a single bug the entire week, which is impressive since they are abundant on the island. The yard is so beautiful with fruit trees and colorful flowers - truly a tropical paradise with a beautiful balcony overlooking it. The air conditioning in the bedrooms had the rooms super cold in a matter of minutes from turning it on, and it runs very quietly, although many people didn’t even use it thanks to the lovely breezes. We would never even consider staying anywhere else next time we return to St. Lucia. Margaret and Stephen provided us with a completely stress-free and absolutely perfect trip. We truly cannot think of a single complaint. On a side note, be sure to check out the St. Lucia Animal Protection Society on the north part of the island while you’re here if you are a dog lover! The street dog situation here is quite sad, and these amazing volunteers feed them and spay/neuter them since there are too many dogs on the island and not enough homes for them. We decided to adopt a street dog that I fell in love with on the trip and ship her back to us, and SLAPS has been wonderful about helping us figure out the logistics. Margaret decided to adopt 2 adorable puppies while chauffeuring us to the shelter!

Beautiful, well maintained, secluded.
Steven was an excellent host. Definitely recommend renting a car to get around, the road is a bit loose in spots but manageable just watch the drains on the side of the road. It's about a 20 min drive to Sandy Beach, which is the closest beach there is food and drink there & 1 hour drive to Sugar Beach. The airport is also an easy 20 min drive. The apartment itself was clean and welcoming. There was wifi, a full kitchen and living area, as well as TV, the night breeze and the fans helped keep us cool despite no AC. Would totally go back!

Ultimate St. Lucian Experience
Margaret and Stephen are exceptional hosts. Words cannot explain their graciousness, above and beyond ANYTHING we could've EVER imagined. The beautiful home is quite near UVF airport with many restaurants and beautiful Sandy beach. Breakfast was excellent and creative with exotic tropical fruits right from their very own backyard. Staying at the BNB felt as if you are with family that you love. The Granvill's are very customer focused so you will enjoy your time here. The home is immaculately clean. Lots of breeze flowing through the home and the balconies are very large. You will not be disappointed booking this accommodation. Staying here gives you great access to Sandy beach with 2 restaurants on the beach (The Reef and Island Breeze) with excellent prices. Whatever your needs, simply ask Margaret or Stephen. Your wish is their command. Thank you both so very much for a memorable birthday vacation.

Authentic cultural paradise
This was a memorable start to our vacation to say the least. The property is immaculate, and Stephen and Margaret (along with their lovely family) welcomed us into their home with open arms. We arrived on Christmas Day, and were unexpectedly invited us to share in their Christmas dinner/festivities. The hospitality we were shown was top-notch throughout our stay. Margaret is a phenomenal cook, and was always quick to offer a local delicacy. They were always willing to help us plan our days, and offer any advice for getting around the island. We would definitely recommend this property as a place to stay and really experience St. Lucian living in a part of the island that is very different than the resort areas. We extend our thanks and gratitude to Stephen and Margaret for the opportunity to spend part of our vacation with them.

Wonderful Vacation!
Thank you for a wonderful stay at your home! Margaret was so kind and helpful to me throughout my stay! The house is super clean. The road is a bit tricky getting to the house and I would recommend renting a car while staying at this location! Thank you both again for a wonderful short vacation! Wendy
