The positives: the guest house is a truly lovely location with incredible views, plenty of space to lounge and comfy beds. There are some sweet cows that visit the grass in front and it was a treat to listen to rain falling during the brief but intense rainstorms. The view of the Piton is really impressive. When we asked for things like matches or TP Marina was responsive. The challenges: First, there are two highly reactive and vocal guard dogs at the entrance to the property that added a layer of chaos to exiting and entering the property. Guard dogs are totally a thing in Saint Lucia but it just made for a less than relaxing experience for us to have chained dogs lunging and barking at us as we came and went from home. Also, air conditioning is only in one bedroom which we didn’t realize when we booked. The majority of the space gets uncomfortably warm - at times it was warmer inside than outside - and while there is a ceiling fan it has one speed. There were many evenings where after showering we all just hung out in the one bedroom with AC for a reprieve from the humidity. Finally the laundry machine costs 30CAD to run a single load and was broken when we stayed. I don’t recall if this pricing was on the posting when we booked so it may have been an oversight on our part. Marina washed a load of clothes for us when we arrived after we explained we hadn’t been made aware of that cost, which we really appreciated.
