Amazing house and view! Kitchen had everything we needed and the grocery store was a 5 min drive. The host was just a quick text away from whatever we needed. The kayaks were super fun. They are double seaters and there were 4. We did the 10 min kayak trip to the island and rented chairs for the day- super fun! We really appreciate the wonderful hospitality and plan to go back!

Incredible Week at Villa Pinel

The house was in the beautiful (and very safe) Cul de Sac location. My family felt like they were staying in a house from a movie - almost as if it wasn't real. After exploring the island (both French and Dutch sides), Anguilla, going out to eat or the beaches, we were all excited to get back to the house. Everything was as-advertised or better! There were 7 of us (2 parents and 5 "kids" from 17-22 yrs old). No hesitation to recommend Villa Pinel. Would 100% stay there again. First impressions were set by the host, Véronique. She added to the wonderful experience by using WhatsApp to communicate (very responsive!), welcomed us in-person, and can assist in virtually anything you may need (recommendations, reservations, special requests, private chefs, etc). Véronique wants everybody to have an incredible experience during the stay.

Best family vacation

We had an amazing family vacation at Villa Pinel. Veronique was the greatest host. She helped coordinate with our chef to let him in the property prior to arrival so he could have dinner and drinks ready when we walked in the door. Through WhatsApp we were able to communicate with the host and had responses within 10 minutes. There was daily housekeeping if you needed it as well. The pictures don’t do the view justice. It feels unreal. The kayaks provided allowed us to venture to Pinel Island easily which is a must see. We saw sea turtles, stingrays and beautiful fish while kayaking. Cul de Sac is a wonderful area with plenty of restaurants, shopping and sights. We can’t say enough about how great our stay was.

Dream vacation…Villa Pinel is the perfect spot!

This is the most beautiful VRBO we have ever stayed in! It was the perfect location and setup for our group’s (three couples) winter getaway. The property was impeccably clean and felt very safe. We were So sad to leave! The kitchen was amazingly stocked, the heated pool and outdoor space was a dream, and Véronique is the best host ever! Her communication and recommendations were top notch…no disappointments! This house is a 10 minute drive to the amazing restaurants in Grand Case and 10 minutes from the beautiful beaches and restaurants in Orient Bay! We loved kayaking to Pinel Island and the sand bar, and had a great place to hike and watch the sunrise within a few minutes walk. We also highly recommend having the massages at the house- and spending a day at Bikini Beach- Véronique makes it all so easy! We would 100% return to Villa Pinel, we fell in love with this beautiful island and Veronique’s kindness and hospitality.
