Description


Welcome to C’est La Vie, a lovely 5-bedroom villa with a private pool and walking distance to a pristine stretch of sandy beach. This luxury vacation rental is located on the Trouya Pointe peninsula between Castries and Rodney Bay in the North of St Lucia. C'est la Vie has been planned so that you can live your vacation on a whim. The five bedrooms are divided between 2 buildings located within lovely mature tropical gardens.

A short pathway leads from C'est la Vie to a tranquil, secluded Couti Cove Beach from which snorkelers may search for reef fish or lobster and strong swimmers may circumnavigate the peninsula and find themselves in another quiet cove with a beautiful sandy beach. It can also be reached on foot in about five minutes; either cove is ideal for a picnic or a barbeque.

C'est la Vie is situated close to the Windjammer Landing Hotel, between the city of Castries and the area of Rodney Bay with its restaurants, Marina, and shops. It is close enough to be a part of the activities yet, due to its location, remains apart from and undisturbed by the bustle.

Rodney Bay is one of the most popular yachting destinations in the Caribbean. There is a beautifully landscaped Marina with restaurants, bars, shops, and galleries. The Bay is worth visiting during the day to browse through the shops and enjoy a waterside lunch or at night when it becomes lively due to the many nighttime venues.

For the most part, St. Lucian beaches are relatively short, but with five miles of white sand on Rodney Bay, Reduit is the place for a long stroll by the shore and a swim in calm waters. One of the most popular beaches on the island, it is fronted by the Rex St Lucian Papillon and the Royal St Lucian hotels.

Castries the Capital of St Lucia is a small bustling city of pretty gingerbread houses that hug the hillsides surrounding the shops and busy harbor. Castries has suffered four major floods over the last 200 years but this has enabled the city to be rebuilt on a grid making it easy to explore. The colorful market on Peynier Street has interesting local produce such as arts, crafts, herbs, and spices. The Catholic Church in Castries is worth a visit. It contains many paintings of biblical scenes where all the characters are black.

A completely relaxing environment has been created to provide you with complete freedom to choose...what to do, where to go when to eat...we provide the options but it's your choice.

Designed in traditional Caribbean style with some Balinese influence, this luxury St Lucia Vacation rental offers a free-flowing layout allowing comfort and privacy amidst carefully landscaped tropical gardens, abundant with fruit, where often the only sound is birdsong or the lapping of waves on the nearby shore.

THE ACCOMMODATION
The bedrooms at C’est La Vie are divided between 2 buildings. The main villa houses 3 of the bedrooms and The Cottage and The Apartment have one bedroom in each.

The five bedrooms of this lovely St Lucia Villa rental exude an authentic Caribbean ambiance with natural breezes combined with ceiling fans to comfort and nurture you whilst air conditioning is available if required.

Each room is named after a nearby tree and the Julie Mango veranda is slightly reduced in width in order to accommodate the spreading branches.

The rooms are spacious with an abundance of closet space. Flat-panel televisions are provided and DVDs may be borrowed from our collection or rented from the nearby library.

The Lounge leads into the spacious Sunroom which overlooks the Terrace and swimming pool. There a table for up to twelve guests may be set when indoor dining is preferred.

THE COTTAGE
A separate pathway leads to the Cottage, which shares a large sundeck with the Villa, but also has its own private vine-covered patio providing a delightful, shaded seating area surrounded by a myriad of flowers and shrubs.
The cottage was designed for year-round living and has generous living areas. For shorter periods it is possible to accommodate two extra guests, one in the study sharing the master bathroom, and the second on the ground floor where there is a bathroom with a shower.

The ground floor spells total relaxation! With the rooms surrounded by hand-crafted jalousie louvers, the gentle breezes waft through a cool and calm interior ideal for reading, dining, and watching television. There is a daybed and, as the powder room has a shower, one additional Guest may be comfortably accommodated. The upper floor contains the immaculate and cozy Royal Palm Suite. A connecting door leads into the study which is equipped with a sofa bed.

The veranda is comfortably furnished for relaxing during the day and perhaps dining in the evening. Inside, the living area has comfortable seating for four and is cooled by a ceiling fan. The Master bedroom is reached through double sliding doors and leads into the large en-suite bathroom where the handmade soaking tub immediately catches the eye.

The staff at the villa was fantastic, as was the island itself.

We could not have had a better week. The staff at the villa was fantastic, as was the island itself. The only problem was not having two weeks! Sherma was a delightful host. Gavin was kind and attentive. I’d go back there next week if I could. There is absolutely no need to send anything our way - but since you asked for a photo, I thought I would send a strange one:)

The Best Villa in St Lucia

Expert Review Pic While staying in C'est la vie on a recent trip to St Lucia I had the most memorable experience. The staff at the villa, especially oshea and Perle were just so welcoming and helpful. When we arrived we were met with cold towels and a light refreshment - the perfect way to start your day! That evening we had a beautiful meal prepared by the resident chef..simply delicious! A nice touch to the villa is that you can opt for an all inclusive meal plan and believe me the food is so amazing you will have definitely made the right choice. I love all C'est la vie has to offer especially the little beach cove at the end of the property. The villa is private yet in a terrific location and is perfect for a family vacation. I can't wait to go back!!
