Great property with amazing views across to Rodney Bay. Property is a great size, superb pool and overall facilities - 100% recommend. Ivy the housekeeper is also superb.
Stayed here on our honeymoon and it was everything the pictures show and more! Truly, this view is breathtaking and we couldnât get over it. The pool is wonderful and the open seating area in the mornings and evenings is remarkably relaxing. Kris is wonderfully helpful and the staff also are just crazy nice and friendly as they keep the place immaculate! If youâre staying in the north of the island, I couldnât recommend this place more.
A super welcome from Kris, the Property Manager. Kris helped plan our trip and we loved every recommendation. The villa gave all 3 generations of our family room to be together yet loads of space to relax.
Our family of 6 really enjoyed our stay at Villa Albatross Nest. Communication with Kris was great leading up to the trip and during our stay. She helped with everything from arranging a chef, the rental car, groceries, and excursions. Truly top notch property management!The house itself was great as well. The open air concept was a bit of a concern at first, but the cool breeze at the top of the hill helped keep things cool day and night. We would definitely considering staying once again!PS
We absolutely loved our stay. The view was heavenly. I canât imagine there being a better view on the island. We spent several days in the pool and not leaving the villa a single time. Kris was wonderful, and very helpful with directions, recommendations and arranging excursions. The housekeeper, Ivy, was a delight to chat with each morning. She took good care of us! The villa is very unique and beautiful. We loved all of the flowers everywhere! It was stocked with everything we needed, including sunscreen and bug spray. We rented a car and my husband was able to get us around well, but I can see why they recommend getting a driver. The roads are pretty tricky to navigate, especially if you arenât used to driving on the left side of the road. The only thing that was negative was the bugs. We got bit SO MUCH!! Even with the bug spray they were still biting us incessantly. We wound up hanging out and playing games each night in the master bedroom. Even with the bites, it was still an amazing trip and the view made it completely worth it!
Villa Albatros Nest was a dream. If youâre looking for peace, privacy, and lush natural beauty, this is the place. The property feels like your own private sanctuaryâsurrounded by gorgeous trees, flowering plants, and birdsong, with the ocean stretching endlessly out in front of you. On a clear day, you can even see all the way to Martinique. I could have spent every moment in that infinity pool, just soaking in the view.The layout of the villa is wonderful. Each bedroom feels separate and private, with its own personality and charm. The common areas are thoughtfully designed with a variety of cozy seating optionsâideal for reading, dining, lounging, or just watching the light change over the sea.One thing to note: while the villa feels perfectly secluded, youâll need a car or driver if you plan to go anywhere, as there are dogs on neighboring properties that make walking off the grounds a challenge. That said, we didnât mind one bitâthis was a place we were happy to stay put.Everything about Albatros Nest invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and just be. We left feeling completely recharged and already dreaming of our next visit.
I would definitely advise reaching the villa during daylight hours. While the hostâs directions were spot on, it is VERY dark and still hard to find. Once you arrive, you wonât be disappointed! The place has amazing views with exceptional outdoor living. Kris and Ivey took good care of us. If you rent Albatross Nest, you wonât be disappointed!
Myself and 3 female friends stayed at this Villa for 7 days. We wish we could have stayed a month. It is the most beautiful place I have ever stayed, competes with Positano. The 180 deg view will take your breath away any time of day or any weather. Kris was an excellent host, very responsive. Ivy was a delight and pleasure to see through the week. We had Eike cook us 2 meals and they were our best meals, he needs a Michelin star. We went down the hill to Body Holiday for a day (walking is taking your life in your hands), had 2 wonderful massause come in that were fabulous, very professional. We ate at Naked Fisherman and The Cliff, highly recommend both, and went to Rodney Bay for lunch and a little shopping. I highly recommend this idyllic place.
General gathering area is open on three sides with views that will take your breath away. Not just open ocean, but beautiful coast line and ocean during the day, direct sunset views, and views of the lights at night. Manager, housekeeper and gardener all super nice. Pre-stocking service was great. Had a chef in one night, and massages in villa. If you want to feel like you are immersed in a tropical vacation, this is maybe the best VRBO for that I have ever stayed in. Well priced for the luxury level, and we just kept shaking our heads about how open and beautiful the views are from the main gathering area. A stay you will remember for a lifetime.
We had a lovely stay at this property. Kris was super accommodating and had us set up for success when we arrived. We had a rental delivered to the property (we only drove it to the store twice, not sure it was necessary since we utilized the driver most of the week). We also had a first round of groceries available upon arrival. Highly recommend scheduling a chef while you are there as the food was amazing and we were all exhausted from the long day of travel and the long haul from the airport to the villa. However, it was worth it for the views.
Private oasis with beautiful grounds and panoramic views. Well equipped home with everything needed for a couple or family. Very peaceful exclusive neighborhood. Had unexpected occasion to communicate with the property owner, first class host in all respects.
Adventurous drive from UVF but worth the view and amenities
My extended family (8 adults total) and I had a wonderful time at Albatross NestâŠit was an adventure getting there from UVF, a bit difficult to find the place once dark sets in, but once you are there the comfortable accommodations and one of the best views on the island make it all worth it !!! The bay, the blue water, the ships, the land formations, the lush vegetation, rainbows, and view of Martinique right from the personal pool or veranda make this place an amazing experience. The outdoor spaces are the epitome of R&R especially during our morning coffee. Our host was able to help us set up a massage for our group right at the VRBO which only added to our relaxation. We would not hesitate to stay here again if our travels bring us back to St. Lucia. Thank you Kris for a wonderful stay and for your hospitality !!!
Our family of 6 stayed here and it was perfect! Bedrooms were comfortable and the outdoor living was beyond what I was expecting. Kris (house manager) was wonderful! So accommodating and provided excellent recommendations. Ivy (house keeper ) is the sweetest! Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate with us while we were there but this villa and Krisâs recommendation for a boat day saved our vacation!
Thank you to Kris, Ivy and Diane of Albatross Villa! My husband, son and I had a wonderful holiday. Between the beautiful views, terrific pool and wonderfully accessible location, it met and exceed all of our expectations. The outdoor lifestyle was perfect for St. Lucia and we relished the entire experience. We hope to visit again!
We recently stayed there with our adult children and had the most relaxing vacation!! The pool and house were perfect for us! The whole house team from Kris and Diane providing us suggestions for restaurants and activities. Ivy, the housekeeper, was great!! Ask about the private chef, Eike, you will not regret it!!
The Villa is exactly as pictured! You can not beat those views . Ivy and Thomas were so nice as well. Donât hesitate to book , you will not regret it!
The best thing about this property is its location. Overlooking the sea with stunning views of the Pigeon Island and the harbour, itâs spacious, clean and beautifully kept with lots of outside space to enjoy the views. The staff are friendly and very helpful and security is given the highest priority.
Albatross was as beautiful in person as it was in pictures! The views were entrancing. The property was well kept and clean. Our just Kris was informative and answered all our questions! She booked trips and taxis for us which was so helpful. Ivy the housekeeper was a dear and so sweet. Really a pleasure to be around. The pool kept us cool on hot days, and it's beautiful at night.
The stunning views from Albatross Nest never got old. I loved that every where you look was a breathtaking sight. The house was perfect for our group of 3 couples. It was great that each couple had their own space and the common areas were large enough to not feel cramped.
Kris Wagner professionally manages the property which belongs to an English couple who have been visiting St Lucia for the past 20 years. We fell in love with the island and after a very long search we finally found our dream home which we purchased in December 2009. We look forward to being able to spend much more time in our beautiful home in St. Lucia when we retire but in the meantime we are making it available for holiday rentals when we are not there .
We have visited St. Lucia for many years and love the island. We fell in love with the stunning view, the lovely garden and the architecture of this property. We enjoy the variety of restaurants and beaches easily accessible from the property.
The property has one of the best sea views we have seen on the island. The sunset views are amazing. The property provides a restful, private location but good restaurants and a variety of activities are available within a ten minute drive.
