Nice place, but you may be unhappy w/ the neighborhood and other elements
This is a very comfortable place to stay and the pool was great too! The house was clean and the beds were very nice. The house could be better supplied with items that would help the stay be more convenient. But our main concern was that the surrounding area of Rodney Bay doesn't come across half as nice as you may expect. It's gritty, dirty, trashy, has tons of pushy, aggressive locals hustling their goods (including weed galore) especially on the beach, and it's a pretty long walk into the town center. I've traveled to nearly 30 countries, so I'm no stranger to various places and cultures, even plenty of third world countries and other islands. But we'd never go to Saint Lucia again unless we stayed on a resort or went via a cruise. The prices are outrageous for everything, especially food and transportation, and the trashiness and grittiness of all the surroundings (except Sugar Beach) took away from what we expected based on so many reviews about the beauty of the island. So be forewarned about staying outside a resort in Saint Lucia! But if you choose to do so to save money or whatever, then this would be a very good option.
