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!!
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 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.

Ms. Sherma is amazing and I plan to reserve for 2 trips next year. My family had a close to flawless experience and Ms Sherma and staff went above and beyond to cater to all our needs, accommodated every request I give 100/100 stars. We have shared our wonderful experience with so many although truth be told we were trying to keep it our secret but it is too amazing not to share. The property is even more breath taking in person than the pictures depict. Special mention to Garvin, Stephen, the ladies and all the staff who always demonstrated excellent customer service and cared for us as family.
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:)
Hi Áine- We had a really great time, we would highly recommend C’est la Vie and the staff was amazing. It all worked out very well and were we pleased! Thank you
Great time! Beautiful home. Staff very friendly and accommodating. We’ll be back
Thanks for a great family vacation! The villa is lovely, and made perfect by the wonderful staff! Blessed to have been here
We have such an amazing week. The food & service exceeding our expectations. Thank you so much for everything. We hope to be able to come back and enjoy everything about the villa.
'What a combination? The best vacation ever as well as the best passover holiday ever. The 3 boys had the time of their lives. Such an amazing staff - each and everyone of you guys know how to accommodate and keep the guests comfortable. Can't wait to be back!"
