We have been back to this place 2 times for a month each time. We love the location. The accomidations are adequate. We had everything we needed. It is quite rustic which suits us but not for everyone. The only thing that would stop us from going back is the Beach bar next door. It has extremely large speakers and can go on till the early hours. It makes your whole being vibrate. If it wasn't for that we would make this our annual vacation.

We like it but bring a mosquito net

The majority of our time on the island was spent in Laborie and we loved it! If you’re looking for a luxury St Lucian vacation this is not the place for you, but if you want a true island experience this is an awesome place to stay. The apartment overlooks the bay with the roar of the waters below. Whoever complained about needing earplugs at night because of the waves needed a vacation more than we did. It’s mesmerizing and we had no trouble sleeping. In fact, when we stayed in Rodney Bay I missed the waves. The noisiest aspect is Rudy John Beach and the bar playing very loud music, but you get used to it and it adds to your island experience. We were also here during the holidays which had a lot to do with the noise. The apartment is functional with everything you really need. A bath, bed, fridge and WiFi. It’s within walking distance to town and literally footsteps from the beach. Keep in mind this is a fishing town and the beach is not the best I’ve been to, but it’s certainly very popular here. We can not say enough about Tyrone. He is amazing. He picked us up at the airport, hooked us up with Mama Tilly, a ride to Castries and made sure we were comfortable the entire time we were here. He came over several times to check in on us, and we passed his own house numerous times where he made sure to speak to us. We ate all of our meals at Mama Tilly’s. She is a genuine soul. She even cooked me a special request of black eyed peas and cabbage on New Year’s, indulged us with the local juice after a night of too much rum, and gave us an island parting gift. We were invited by our local apartment neighbors to share their rum and dinner and they became fast friends; which we hung out with on several occasions. The people of St Lucia are humble and friendly. We felt very safe walking around town and the beach, and inside our apartment. For the price paid this apartment it truly is a gem. We came with no expectations and just went with the flow. Our vacation was awesome and turned into an amazing experience with a boatload of memories, photos and some new friends. If we ever come back to the island we would book this place without a second thought. Our flight was over an hour late and we arrived on a holiday. The grocery was closed so make sure you come prepared with essentials to tide you over. (Hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper, snacks,a few bottled waters, coffee, etc). We hope your stay will be just as incredible as ours!!

On our 2nd day at the apartment the municipal water was under emergency construction and we had no running water. Officials said it would only last 24 hours. Not sure we booked another rental. We contacted the owners who apologized and offered us a full refund no questions asked. We plan on returning to St. Lucia in the fall and would consider this property.
