Beachfront vacation rentals in Gros Islet

JJ's Paradise was one of our favorite locations we stayed at during our 1 month long holiday in St Lucia. Marigot Bay is not a place you stay for doing a lot of hiking; it is a great place to stay for relaxation and wonderful, lush setting. Our room was beautiful and came with two king-size beds - we really liked that one was firm and one was plush so we picked the plush one. The resort is really nice with a pool area that we spent a lot of time at. Mangrove restaurant onsite and on the water was actually the best restaurant of all the places we ate in Marigot Bay. The other stand out item was the free breakfast that came with our room every morning- it was really good and very filling!! Also, the staff, including JJ himself, Tricia, Roger our ferry driver (the ferry is also free) and Kerry who brought us to our next accommodation are all amazingly friendly and made us feel like we were part of the family. Highly recommend this place!

Excellent stay!! Very comfortable and clean accommodations. Lots of stairs to get to our cottage. Having the restaurant on site and the boat to get us from side to side on the harbour was great!

We stayed at JJs paradise for 9 nights and had a great experience! The villa was clean and housekeeping everyday was excellent, the pool was right outside our door which was great for our child. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. They arranged excursions for us at a fantastic price as well. Reception was very helpful as well, the boat taxi across the bay was always quick and the drivers very personable. Breakfast was included which was a great unexpected perk as well. We would recommend JJs to anyone visiting the island for a relaxing getaway!

What an absolutely hidden gem! Right in the mangroves of Marigot Bay, we had everything we needed! Air con, comfy bed, kitchenette. The property also had a swimming pool and restaurant right on the water with delicious breakfast included, and we also choose to eat dinner here every night too! The staff were so incredibly helpful and friendly. They also have their own boat to ferry you to the marina or beach for free as well.

Our stay at Ginger Cottage was incredible! The cottage is located above the beach and has a beautiful view of the bay, and very nice for watching sunsets. When we arrived, we met George, who helped us get across the bay in the ferry and showed us the way to the cottage. He was very helpful in getting to know the area! The cottage itself is very clean and comfortable, the only thing to keep in mind is that there are no actual window panes, insulated walls or A/C so the temperature largely depends on outside weather. When we stayed there, it was high 70s, low 80s so this was not an issue. Multiple fans are also provided to cool down if that’s a little too warm for you. The only problem we ran into was that the WiFi didn’t work properly as it didn’t reach into the cottage very far, but Lucretia was very communicative and explained that it was a new router and it didn’t have the same reach, so she would install a new system after our stay for future guests. Highly recommend this place!

Maggie's place is truly wonderful. The views of the ocean are incredible and access to a basically private beach is unbeatable. Since you are on the Atlantic side of the island, there is some risk of seaweed buildup on the beach but there are still parts of the beach to lay on. There was some bad planning on the hosts part for some construction happening right beside the house which disrupted on of our days, however when we mentioned this, they rescheduled the construction to a later day when we left. This was much appreciated and a sign of a great host. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants to spend some time away from the tourists on the West side of the island and relax in a home with a nice ocean breeze and some nice wavy waters.

I love the location. Quiet & very Private. Friendly people. Convenient bar. Close to main shopping areas. Neat with everything you would need. Fully equipped holiday kitchen. I would love to come back and would quickly recommend this place to everyone.

We can’t get over how AMAZING this property was! Esther the house manager was so gracious! She drove us to the Friday night street party and picked us up! We wanted to hang with her all night, she was the highlight of our stay! The private beach is stunning! (Make sure you bring water shoes, it’s rocky) The main room does not have a split unit AC but the breeze was perfect and kept us cool! Plus the view is out of this world! The rooms have units and kept us cool throughout the night! The beds were comfortable, sheets and towels were nice! Great location, great hospitality! Only regret is we weren’t able to stay longer! Esther is very knowledgeable of everything Saint Lucia, next time we will stay longer, eat at the property and get a massage from Esther! Don’t stay at a resort like we did the first few nights! Book this place and get an authentic experience - you will not regret it!!!!

Where do I start.... Carlos is an exceptional and very communicative host. Checked in regularly to ensure that everything was ok. He was very responsive with resolving issues almost instantaneously. I have a serious fear of geckos and a couple slipped into the house and he arranged for Nigel (Caretaker/Driver) to return and remove it. We are in the Caribbean and this can happen so I understand but it's my fear, it's bigger that Mount Everest...lol so I was very appreciative that Nigel was able to assist almost in the blink of an eye. The house is as posted in the pictures with all the amenities and the salt water pool was divine! Something about the location gave a calming and serene scene which allowed me to strike a balance on this work trip despite the road condition to get to the house. The complimentary items in the fridge were refreshing and welcomed having been delayed with my flight. Carlos was very accommodating with flexible check in and out times which was also appreciated.

Iain's place in Cap Cove was the perfect location for our large family week in St. Lucia! The location was unbeatable, with an easy drive to the Rodney Bay and Gros Islet areas, close access to so many restaurants and beaches, and convenient drive to the supermarket. With one pool in the backyard and another massive community pool steps from the door, plus a 2-minute walk to beach and convenience to Marjorie's bar, we couldn't ask for more location-wise. The estate pool and the nearby beach were never crowded. Just beware, Rodney Bay area is a hairy drive from the airport, but we are confident drivers and felt it was worth the trip. The house was gorgeous and the kitchen was beautiful (albeit marginally stocked). We made do with having AC just in the bedrooms and not in the common areas, but it was a bit hot on nights we decided to cook in. There was plenty of space for our group of 8 teenagers and adults though. We would definitely come back!

Our stay was a delight and a great warm holiday away from the cold English weather. Suzette was very accessible and quick to respond to a variety of questions, including arranging a car seat for the taxi from the airport which was very helpful (especially for 90 min taxi ride). Location was great, 5 minute walk from the beach and a very safe outdoor space for a family with two boys under two years old. Rodney Bay had everything we needed and the marina, Pigeon Island and Windjammer Resort are short taxi rides away. Jacques is a restaurant walking distance away which is really recommended, especially for the ambience.

Beautiful home, secure and peaceful residence. The bathrooms are very large. There are NO faults. It's a rare nugget in SteLucie. Kimberly is a very friendly host, always ready to help, very accommodating! I hope to stay with her again soon.

Amazing value for a lovely apartment. The location is a bit inconvenient but for the price paid I can’t complain. Just be prepared to hire a car or arrange taxis. The cost to Vigie Beach is pretty cheap though. The property was very large with well equipped kitchen and bathroom and good air con in both big bedrooms. Loads of storage and a big fridge. I also felt very safe in the property. Super quiet area and property.

Easy stay. Walkable to beach.

Myrna is an exceptional host who delights with warmth and genuine care. From the first contact to the check-out, we felt well looked after – we have never been accompanied so attentively! Already upon arrival, a loving welcome message and a beautiful fruit basket awaited us – a perfect start to the holiday. The apartment itself is a real feel-good paradise: spacious, immaculately clean rooms, each with a private bathroom, and an excellently equipped kitchen that really leaves nothing to be desired. Myrna is always available and responds lightning fast. When we had a small technical problem on the day of arrival, it was resolved in a few minutes – just impressive! If you're looking for a quiet, comfortable place to stay, this is the place to be. The well-kept outdoor area and the large pool invite you to relax – pure relaxation! Our clear recommendation: A real gem – 5 stars is almost too little!

Carlos and Jamie were amazing hosts. And we look forward to our next stay and continued friendship we’ve built. This air bnb was top notch, although the pictures shown are exactly what you get. It doesn’t do it justice. This place was warm and welcoming. Making sure you had everything. And right at home. We won’t stop talking about it. Checkin was easy, check out was easier. We also took advantage of a car rental which was incredibly nice. If you are looking for a home away from home do not hesitate to stay here. It’s worth every bit. Thanks again and we look forward to further visits.
