Do you yearn for relaxation and peace on your vacation?
Then start your day in the gazebo with a cup of smooth local coffee or a cappuccino, watching the sailboats glide along the sea (under a double rainbow if you’re lucky). After a breakfast of local fruit and homemade pancakes, slide into the pool and float, warmed by the Caribbean sun, surrounded by cashew trees and brilliant bougainvillea, with the postcard-perfect panorama of the Pitons and the Caribbean stretching across the horizon.
Have Doxie's pumpkin soup for a delicious light lunch, then pack up our snorkel gear and head to Anse Chastanet beach (less than a 10 minute drive away) for an afternoon snorkel. Return to the villa to watch the sun set over the Caribbean in streaks of brilliant pink and orange while you sip local spiced rum with ginger ale, then dine on Doxie’s meal of grilled freshly-caught fish marinated in local seasonings with a salad, rice, and chocolate cake (from local cocoa, of course).
As the sky deepens to deep purple velvet and the stars emerge, take our Bluetooth speaker outside and listen to your favorite music while you talk with your companions, or just sit in awe of the beauty. Look up to see the inky black sky with billions of stars and the Milky Way flowing across it (when is the last time you saw the Milky Way?) Watch for shooting stars. Then sink into our comfortable Simmons BeautyRest mattresses and sleep deeply in the quiet, with just the breeze rustling the leaves and the singing of the tree frogs as a lullaby.
Or perhaps your ideal vacation is adventure and thrills?
Get up as the first fingers of dawn creep down from the mountains, grab some snacks and fill up our thermoses with water - you're headed to climb a mountain! Get a guide at the Anse L'ivrogne beach for the 2600-foot hike/climb or make it a little easier by starting higher up from Fond Gens Libre. Prefer SCUBA diving? Go out with Action Adventure Divers (“Chester”). ATV’s more your speed? Head to Choiseul for an ATV ride through the rainforest and chase each other along black sand beaches.
Whether you want to just relax or be very active, or a mix of the two, our friendly staff will help you have a memorable vacation. They’ll keep the villa clean, help you plan your activities, and anything else you need to make your vacation truly unforgettable. Hotels offer meal plans and tours and driver services, and we do, too - just inquire for details and pricing.
We’ve stocked the villa with adventure gear for you (beach chairs and towels and umbrellas and blankets, coolers, snorkel gear, etc.) and have WiFi throughout the villa with Alexa and Amazon Music Unlimited to make your stay even more convenient!
FAQ:
Staff: Just like at a hotel, the staff must be in, on, or near the property most of the time. If you hire Doxie to cook for you, she has to do that in the villa. You may not tell the staff to leave the property or prohibit them from entering the villa for extended periods of time that interfere with their maintenance duties. You may ask them to give you as much privacy as they can while still completing their chores. Housekeeping and pool maintenance are performed daily.
Cooking/meals: Cooking services are extra and are from $14US to $28US to cook a standard meal for up to six people. Doxie also offers an option where she does the cooking and provides the groceries. Ask for pricing and details.
Privacy: Doxie is the only staff person that will be in the villa for more than a few minutes. If you prefer privacy, simply ask her to step outside when she is done or request that she does her indoor chores after you have left the villa.
Privacy and cooking services: You'll have to give up some privacy for cooking services, as meals are prepared in the villa kitchen and it's an open floor plan. Doxie usually comes up in the morning but cooks dinner in the afternoon, and she does not have a vehicle so she can’t go home and return when it’s time to cook. At your request, she will wait outside after completing her morning chores until it is time to cook. If you prefer as much privacy as possible but still want dinners made, we suggest you have her cook dinners on days when you are not in the villa.
Driver: We’re happy to provide you information on the driver’s pricing – please ask. If you wish to hire him, just let us know – you do not need to contact him yourself.
Insects and other creatures: We have mosquito-control traps and treat regularly for other insects. It is a tropical location, and the house is open-air (no glass over the windows) so there will be a few insects and other creatures (geckos, anoles, birds and occasionally a bat or mouse). Minimize flying insects by turning off all the lights inside the house at night if you are outdoors or closing all the doors at night if you are inside.
Air-conditioning: Given the open nature of the house, including interior walls that do not go to the ceiling, the air conditioning in the bedrooms will not be able to cool the rooms. They blow cool air on the beds to make sleeping a little more comfortable.
Welcome pack: We include a complimentary welcome pack of food and beverages, enough for a happy hour and a light dinner. We supply local Green-Gold coffee and a selection of teas for your stay.
Children: The villa and grounds pose inherent dangers for young children, including 220V outlets up 18 inches from the floor, chemicals stored in places children can access, and a 30-foot drop from the back railing to the forest below. Our staff’s duties do not include watching children, although they can arrange a babysitter for you at an extra charge.

The pictures capture the magnificence of the view, but nothing compares to seeing it for the first time upon arrival! Absolutely remarkable!Everything was taken care of from the moment we arrived. The pre-prepared welcome dinner and rum punch from Doxie instantly put us in relaxing vacation mode after a long day of travel. It was such a ln added benefit not to have to arrange anything for the first night.The house is modern, clean, well maintained, and has everything you would need and more. As nice as the house is, you won’t be able to stay inside for long. The view and pool is too hard to resist for long.Do yourself a favor and book meals from Doxie as much as possible. The highlight of each day was dinner under the gazebo at sunset. Her food was better than all the restaurants we visited and so convenient to have prepared at the house.Also highly recommend arranging the driver from day one. The roads can be challenging, especially the steep journey to the house, but was no problem for Billy, who took care of us all week. He made everything so easy! Lots of activities to do very nearby. We arranged everything on our first full day at the house from Junior who came in person to coordinate everything. Highly recommend.Amazing vacation, we’ll never forget! Hard to leave that view!

I'm not sure if I can put into words how amazing this place is. Not only is it the most beautiful view in St. Lucia but the host gave us so much information and suggestions (all were 100% spot on) that made the trip absolutely fantastic. The villa is full of everything you may need during your stay, and the staff were amazing. We took the hosts suggestions and hired Junior to plan our days and take us to all his favorite places (including a lunch at Martha's Table that was amazing) and Doxie who cooked for us every evening. It was a perfect blend of hiking, snorkeling and doing absolutely nothing while enjoying the veiw. If I could give it more stars I would.

Possibly the best vacation of my life.
Unbelievable! From the moment we arrived (actually BEFORE we even arrived), we felt so well taken care of and pampered. The property owner was so communicative, we never had to wonder about anything. The house is incredibly well appointed and the views are even more amazing than the pictures. Doxie, Junior, Kerryus and John made it their mission to take care of our every wish and answered our million questions about this beautiful country. Every recommendation for activities were spot on. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We can’t wait to return.

Villa Grand Piton is spectacular, the view is breathtaking, it is quiet and peaceful. The Villa is incredibly well equipped, Loretta has thought of every detail, and that makes a holiday so enjoyable.
Doxie was so helpful, and we enjoyed several of her dinners, she remained quietly in the background and kept the house clean and tidy. Doxie is amazing!

So relaxing our vacation slowed down!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Villa! The view is amazing. Waking up every morning and opening the 4 large double doors to that view was a great way to start our day. All of the staff were very helpful and nice to have around. They were very accommodating and would show up when we asked them to. A couple of days we wanted a later start and that was not a problem.
The Villa has everything you can imagine you may need and more. It was so great not to worry about anything. Beach bags, Sun hats, pool and beach towels, snorkel gear, cooler, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, outdoor portable speaker you can take to the beach with a bottle opener built in to open your Piton Lager Beer, and much more.
More on the staff. We had Doxie cook us 3 meals during our stay. It was great to come back to the Villa and have dinner cooked and ready to go when we were ready to heat it up. We all agreed that Doxie’s food was the best food we had all week. There was not one thing we did not love. Some of the favorites were her pumpkin soup and fish fingers. We had her other “squash “ soup and it was amazing as well. One night she grilled bone in chicken with bbq sauce and that was delicious and a nice change from all the Caribbean flavors.
We decided once we got there not to rent a car and use Juniors service to get around. He was very helpful with helping us plan our days.
We felt so relaxed and taken care of that our vacation seemed longer. Highly recommend!

Breathtaking!!!!!
From the moment we arrived the service was 5 star all the way! Junior greeted us at the airport and made sure we were all ready, the owners actually greeted us when we arrived along with Doxie who by the way was so fantastic! The home is stunning and the views every morning, afternoon and evening are like nothing you can put into words. The beds were so comfortable, accommodations they thought of everything! They have towels for the beach, the sulphur springs, chairs for the beach... you name it they have it. Having Doxie to shop for us when we ran out of things and cook for us when we needed it was next level. We hired Junior and his team to drive us everywhere we needed to go and I highly recommend you do that as it is so much easier to have the drivers. Junior also was a concierge getting us a captain and a boat for a day trip to the north end of the island for shopping and lunch. This was out of 13 Caribbean islands we have visited the best trip so far. We brought my 75 year old mother as well and they took such great care of her and it was a trip of a lifetime for us all. I can't say enough great things about the home and the entire staff. I highly recommend utilizing Doxie and Junior! Thank you Grand Villa for the best trip so far of my life. We will definitely be back!!

Breathtaking views from a beautiful home.
Loretta and Bill have thought of most everything. This large three bedroom, three bathroom house has everything you could need from basic toiletries to chargers to travel mugs to a good movie for a night in. Each of the bedrooms has a bed fan, slats on the windows and doors that can be adjusted to allow ventilation, a fan and an wall AC unit. All of the reviews about the noise traveling through the house are accurate. The wall of doors open up to a stunning view of the water and the Pitons. Once outside all stress melts away. Be prepared to share the patio and house with a few friendly birds. They don’t hesitate to fly into the house and hang around the kitchen when the doors are open. Listen to the advice locals give. It is accurate. Close the house doors before dark to keep unwanted pests out. Do not rent a car. Gros Piton is a moderate to strenuous hike. Doxie is lovely and her meals really are as good or better than the local restaurants and she is happy to cater to your needs. Junior (the taxi driver) was extremely reliable. Overall, the property is beautiful and the house was a perfect retreat for us for the week.

Just finished our stay at Villa Grand Piton and first visit to St. Lucia.
In a word, marvelous!
Since we had never been to SL, we took a bit of a chance on location of the island and residence or resort.
We could not have been more pleased. The Villa is definitely 5 star. The staff and arranged team (driver, tour operator and cook) are superb. The owners have thought of every possible need and stocked well. Other than a rough road ride from Soufriere to Villa, I can’t think of an improvement needed.
One of the few times we actually may rebook same spot in the future.
Highly recommended.

All about the view!
The view on this property is the best on the island. It was an absolute delight to experience it on a daily basis. My boyfriend and I loved watching the boats and ships cruise around. It was also a joy to watch the weather roll in and out over the Pitons. Truly, we were wonderfully grateful to have booked this listing for the beautiful view.
We realize the value in the property for the price. It was just the two of us but for a family, the price would be hard to beat. There were some details of the property that would inspire use to book elsewhere. We found the cleanliness of the house and overall upkeep in need of extra love and attention. Both my boyfriend and I own rental properties and have managed vacation rentals before, we understand general wear-and-tear but some details should be corrected and upheld for the standard of a rental.
The staff were lovely, we appreciated the convenience of having built in help and care available. There were times we felt like we were sharing the home that infringed on our ideal of privacy. Having the luxury of a housekeeper on-site daily was great but then we would end up sweeping up or tidying up ourselves anyhow.
Food in the island was subpar. We found Doxie's cooking to be outstanding by comparison and enjoyed many meals made by her enjoying the view. The only restaurant we really loved was Rabot at the Hotel Chocolat. A bit pricey, but right up out alley.
The architecture of the house we found to be a bit odd with the walls only partially up to the ceiling. This allows noise in the house to travel easily. For my boyfriend and I it was alright, but we imagined having other friends or family there and what that might be like. If you are the first one or last one awake, you'd need to tip-toe around to avoid disturbing others. Perhaps this isn't an issue for most guests but something to consider when booking.
The road leading up to the house was quite the experience. We got used to it throughout our stay. Going to the beach is $45 roundtrip using Junior's transportation, which shocked us at first but we understand why and would have spent what we did or more on a rental car. The beach down the hill (Anse Chastenet/Anse Mamin) were great, peaceful and quiet. The snorkeling there is fantastic!
Overall we had a lovely time at the house and a great vacation.

Beautiful family getaway
We were looking for a quiet and remote destination to relax and reconnect as a family. This location was the perfect place to do this. Beautiful views, amazing food (you MUST have Doxie cook for you...her meals rivalled the restaurants we visited), and a well appointed place with all the necessities required for an enjoyable vacation.
Junior and Billy were great drivers. We strongly recommend them (the roads are not easy to drive up to this property). Day trips to the beach and excursions were stress-free as they knew where to go and were available whenver we needed them.
As for restaurants, we usually like to do 3 types...one for a "unique" experience, one "foodie" restaurant, and a local one. We went to the Treetop restaurant (eating in a treehouse overlooking the palm trees. Food was good!), the Chocolat restaurant (the food experience was interesting...everything had chocolate in it), and Martha's Tables (the local one...the kids like the food here the best!). But nothing really beats Doxie's cooking!
Overall, we had a wonderful time in St. Lucia, and have recommended this place to many of our friends.
