White Sands Cottages - Luxe DOCK RURAL

I can't say enough about how sweet this place is. It had a lovely deck with a pleasant cool breeze off the water and beach/mountain views. Our teenagers jumped off the dock for swimming, and I snorkeled off of the tiny beach area next to the house; it is five-minutes drive from Villa Beach and Young Island, which has great snorkeling. There was NO Sargasso seaweed in the crystal-clear bay or any of the leeward beaches in St. Vincent.

The house is directly on the water, in a very private and safe group of cottages surrounded by lush foliage and brilliantly-colored flowers. The well-behaved dog who lives on the property was also great company (he never begs). The home itself has two large bedrooms and two large, modern, high-end bathrooms with excellent hot water and water pressure. The kitchen was also excellent: Granite counters; Miele oven; fully equipped with utensils, etc. (bring your own food and most condiments). Air conditioners in the bedrooms worked perfectly. The breeze mostly cooled off the whole house anyway; but we closed it up at night because only a few of the windows are screened. The WiFi was perfect. The managers, Sophie and Guy were lovely and easily reached via WhatsApp while in St. Vincent (and immediately replaced a coffee maker that broke). My suggestion is, if you're planning on experiencing the natural beauty of St. Vincent, take a speed boat tour with Guy on the Leeward side because the roads are too hairy to cover as much ground as one might like by driving to each of St. Vincent's sites. The house was in a good location to do that and to head in the opposite direction for a volcano hike. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this house to tourists and those in St. Vincent on business. We have rented dozens of villas in the past and were very comfortable in this one.
