Amazing house! Amazing location! Amazing views! This house was perfect for my husband and I and our three teenage children! Everyone had their own space and there was plenty of communal space. The sunsets were spectacular! Ivy was lovely and Kris was so helpful. St. Lucia may be the friendliest island we have visited. I would recommend Albatross Nest to everyone. Hopefully weâll be back one day.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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 for 10 nights, the first 5 with friends joining and the last 5 on our own. Perfect location and set up for many with privacy or just us two. The view was the best. Always changing and beautiful. Cooked a lot of dinners at the house as the sunsets are great. Grocery stores are great and local fish easy to buy. Ivy (house cleaner) was sweet and with so much helpful island info. Kris (house manager) was super attentive and responded to minor toilet issue right off the bat. One of the best houses weâve rented in last 10 years!
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.
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 !!!
The Albatross Nest is an aptly named property on a ridgeline overlooking the ocean. The views are stunning from the very nice pool and other adjacent outside living areas. There were several different large furniture groupings that allowed multiple conversational areas, both out in the sun or under a roof. Our host Kris was quite helpful and responsive. We had quite a bit of fun in Gros Islet and the surrounding towns.
This has the first time we stayed in an open concept Caribbean home. We were one with nature and it was lovely for most. One couple thought the nighttime jungle sounds imposed on their sleep; I embraced the serenade. One thought to keep in mind is that the roads in St Lucia can be very steep, slippery and rough. Remember to get a proper vehicle or use the nice driver that works for the Villa.
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.
The property was absolutely stunning, and Ivy, managers and the gardener were great!
A heads-up for future guests: the driveway is a bit steep. We managed it with a van, but renting a jeep or truck or arranging a driver might be a better option. Download WhatsApp for easy communication. Bring DEET bug sprayâthe living room is open-concept, so itâs best to apply it while youâre there. Lastly, thereâs a ferry from the south airport to the north that we wish we had known aboutâit could be a smoother alternative to driving the roads. Donât miss the Pitons! We highly recommend a boat tour with Marlan Boat Tours to explore the mud baths, waterfalls, and the Pitons.
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.
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!
A group of 7 of us stayed at Albatross Nest for carnival 2024. We had an absolutely wonderful time and the pictures do not do the view justice. We had a car rental car but driving at night is tough if you do not know the roads. A few taxis had a hard time finding us but was not an issue once they dropped us once. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.
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!!
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!
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!
