The White Turtle Villa ~ Marigot Bay, private pool, water views. 【 AUG 2024 】 Villa in Marigot Bay, St. Lucia (2024)

Summary: If you are looking for a more authentic and private experience than the big resorts, this is a great option! Beautiful home on a quiet hill a short walk from Marigot Bay that is incredibly well stocked, clean, and comfortable. Communication with the owners and property manager was excellent and they offered many great recommendations during our stay. We did have a few things stolen from the pool area one night but the owners immediately addressed the situation and offered to refund or replace what was taken. It sounds like the incident was an isolated one involving someone from the area who has some mental issues and a reputation for petty theft. I would just suggest future guests not leave things outside over night but overall we felt the area was very safe. Highly recommend this rental and we will def look to stay here again the next time we are in Marigot Bay.

Summary: Great stay, great location and fantastic hosts. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again when visiting Marigot Bay.

Summary: From booking through to departure our experience at The White Turtle Villa was amazing. Kathy and Mike are wonderful, responsive and so helpful, while their Manager Will welcomed us onsite, checked in on us, and gave us great beach and restaurant recommendations. The Villa has everything you need, we stayed in most nights and cooked, and did restaurants for lunch. It is relaxing, quiet and calm amongst the beautiful garden setting and delightful pool. A perfect stay for us, thank you!

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at the White Turtle. The owners, management and recommendations were very helpful prior to check in and during the stay. Its location is up a mountain and overlooking a cove. Very serene and private. It is not close to popular excursions and requires a long car or taxi ride. The house layout is delightful for close friends or family. We spent most of our time on the deck areas.Our bedroom a/c was not operating during our stay. We tried to deal with it for a couple of nights and then reached out to management which tried to help but unfortunately was unable to be repaired during our stay. There were some maintenance issues we felt needed attention that I also made them aware of that would have been nice to know as they were not visible in the photos. Despite those things, we still enjoyed our stay and especially loved the food, the people and each and every local we came in contact with. The people of Saint Lucia are a fun and spirited bunch that we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know.

Summary: We had a fabulous adventure to St. Lucia! We loved White Turtle Villa! Mike & Kathy have thought of everything & made our arrival so seamless. Even when our first flight was cancelled due to snow storms & it looked like we might not make it, they reassured us they would contact the others. We did make it after all! They had arranged for Marie (Sam) to pick us up at HVF and drive us to the villa. Nina was there to check us in & show us around. Since grocery stores were closed early on Sundays, they put us in touch with Claudia, who made & served supper, & bought groceries for supper & the next morning's breakfast. These were not inexpensive, but were well worth it given our arrival time & location.They also arranged for a rental car company to bring us a car the next morning for our use during our stay. This was a very basic, low level car that got us places, but with some struggle going up those extremely steep slopes. We hadn't realized how bad the roads were and might have preferred a more powerful vehicle with actual adjustable seats. Be aware: the roads are narrow, bumpy, or collapsing, winding or switchbacks in some places, plus driving on the left side of the road with the driver's seat on the right! The villa itself was beautiful! Large rooms with lots of light and good furniture. There's AC & ceiling fans, plus mosquito nets, although we didn't see any mosquitoes! Patio doors accordion open and it's lovely at any time of day! Watch out for birds. Pool & decks were amazing, surrounded by lush, tropical gardens that gave almost complete privacy! Loved sitting out in the morning & in the moonlight especially. So peaceful. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you could possibly need, 1.5 bathrooms + outdoor shower. Beach towels & bags were also on hand. We would not recommend the public beach which you have to take a water taxi to, as it's tiny and there are people who harass you to rent chairs, & try to sell you drugs, etc. However, the little cove from which you can hear the waves on a quiet night, is great for snorkelling! Favourite beaches : Sugar Beach and Anse Castanet. Great short, easy hike up the Tet Paul Trail gave amazing views of the Pitons! We do NOT recommend eating at The Villa Restaurant. The server was terribly disinterested in us, told us there were no nuts, only to then later say that there were! Our daughter had a bad reaction that could have been lethal.Otherwise, we loved our trip there and hope to return.

Summary: Overall, we really enjoyed this property. The house matched the photos and the pool/outdoor space felt wonderfully secluded. The view of sunset from the balcony was outstanding. One of our favorite things about this house was that it was an easy 5 minute walk to The Villa restaurant which has delicious food. The master bed and pillows were a bit uncomfortable but that would be our only complaint. Would definitely recommend this property!

Summary: This is a lovely villa with great views of the sunset each evening. Very relaxing stay, I slept better for the two weeks than I have in a long time. Nina was available for any queries we had. Local restaurants such as The Villa., Roots 2 and independent shacks offering takeaways gave good choices for a variety of food.

Summary: The house was well cared for. The amenities were great . The pool is bigger than the picture suggested. Nina the real estate caretaker met us there to show us around . She arranged a taxi to and from the airport and the delivery of a rental car. It was a great place to stay .

Summary: We had an amazing time and loved the property. Would definitely stay here again next time we are in St. Lucia. Proxinity to Marigot Bay is a quick walk down hill. Easy to catch a cab back or walk for exercise if you wish. Loved the multidecks and private pool area. Plenty of towels (bath and beach provided). Good communication throughout with owners and property manager. If you don't rent a car, their recommended driver Marie is phenomenal!

Summary: The villa is modern, clean, and beautiful with fantastic sunset views and a fun pool. Mike, and Kathy were very responsive to all our requests and really helped us feel at home as first timers. I would recommend taking their advice on taxis etc. The property manage, Lina was very helpful as well. This property was the perfect base for our vacation.
