Why a Vacation Rental is the Ideal Choice in Soufriere.

A Caribbean vacation is a dream trip and on St Lucia, the Caribbean’s Emerald Isle, that dream can come true. St Lucia is not only a stunningly beautiful destination with the perfect sun, sand and sea combination, but also boasts an extraordinary landscape that has the genuine wow factor. Now, having made up your mind to visit St. Lucia, all you have to do is decide where you’re going to stay.

And that’s where a Villa or apartment rental in Soufriere comes in. We’re the island vacation rental company who put the real into St Lucia. Choose our vacation rentals in St Lucia and you are guaranteed to find a luxurious base from which to explore our gorgeous island. You see, we know there’s no better way to enjoy a destination such as St Lucia than to immerse yourself in island life. Too many St Lucia hotels and resorts are so focused on exclusivity that staying there can feel too anonymous and too isolated from the real Saint Lucia.

It’s why we say we’re the travel company that gives you the real St Lucia – and that’s why we are certain that when you decide on a vacation in Saint Lucia that the very best choice you can make for your accommodation will be our top-class vacation rentals in St. Lucia.

Stunning Soufriere has a Seductive Allure

There is a marvellous mystique about Soufriere, the colonial heart and soul of St Lucia. Situated on the southwest of the island, Soufriere has a strong French influence because it was here the French colonial government was once situated. But while its architecture is wonderfully evocative of bygone eras, the real beauty of Soufriere is all natural.

The stark beauty of the Pitons, the twin volcanic plugs that overlook the town and the whole south coast of the island, has to be seen to be believed. 

Then there’s the drive-in volcano – oh yes, did we forget to mention that? The world’s only drive-in volcano is a sensational natural wonder, its sulphur pools and springs spluttering and spitting fiery mud out 24 hours a day. Wait until the sun goes down and the mud pools are at a manageable 38C, then make like the locals and have a restorative mud bath.

Rainforests, beaches and mountains all come together perfectly to make Soufriere the ideal destination for St. Lucia vacations. And in the winding, quaint streets of the old town, you’ll be treated to a taste of the real St Lucia – wander through markets selling some of the island’s finest produce such as the St Lucia banana.

All of this is on your doorstep when you chosen from the luxurious options in vacation rentals in Soufriere to call your own for the duration of your stay. Choosing an Islander Villas property means you are most definitely in for the holiday of a lifetime.

Why a St. Lucia Vacation Rental Trumps a Hotel

One of the great things about going on vacation is the chance to stay somewhere different. Most people still connect vacation time with a stay in a hotel but that’s a pretty old-fashioned view of what a vacation can now be. Hotels in St. Lucia definitely have a certain appeal – they often come with other facilities such as a spa, a choice of different restaurants and a pool.

Some holiday makers who choose a hotel ahead of St Lucia vacation rentals often suggest they only do so because theirs was just a short trip and so they don’t believe a villa would be suitable.

Others imagine that if they stayed in their own place, they’d simply be swapping one setting of domestic drudgery for another, albeit in a much sunnier place – if you’ve got your own kitchen, you probably should cook, right? And then there’s keeping the place clean and tidy.

​Too much like hard work, isn’t it? In a hotel in St. Lucia, all you do is call room service and you’ve got everything you need in minutes. So there are definitely some good reasons to choose to stay in a hotel or resort.

Everything You Want in Your Own Vacation Rental

But what if we  told you there are even better reasons to check into your own villa? With our Saint Lucia rentals you’ll have all the facilities of a hotel or resort and much more. For a start, you have total privacy – no sharing space with strangers, no jostling for a spot by the pool, because your sun loungers are all your own.

We can arrange everything from a airport transfers, to 5-star dining prepared by a top chef. Want your own coconut cut fresh so you can watch the sunset over the mountains from your vacation rental in Soufriere? All you have to do is ask.

We own all our properties so we can guarantee the quality of accommodation and facilities. You’ll get more living space, more privacy and an even better location, closer to the real St Lucia than you could ever be tucked away behind the walls of a hotel or resort.

At this point you’re probably thinking, “Well, that all sounds fabulous but how on earth can I afford that?” Well, here’s the even better news – booking St. Lucia rentals with us is often more affordable than a hotel or resort stay.

​Our vacation rentals can accommodate small and large parties, and the more folks in your party, the cheaper the rental price for everyone. What’s not to love about that?

Yesterday I had the privilege of meeting  an amazing couple Mr. & Mrs. Khan, they used our private transportation service as many couples do (to & from the St. Lucia airport) to get to the Rendezvous resort. In short, they were absolutely incredible people and I can't wait to welcome them back to the island (and this time at one of our vacation home rentals).

​As you may of already known, all transfers to and from our vacation rentals in St. Lucia is included in your package - not only are you provided with a comfortable ride, your driver will also give you a short briefing on the island, you will also have complimentary refreshments after that long flight. 

Here's what my new friend Mr. Khan had to say about his airport transfer experience with us….

"We booked our transfers with St Lucia Airport Shuttle after seeing the many positive reviews on the web site, and we were extremely happy with the service. The comfortable car was there on time for us both on arrival and departure, and we were given an informative tour as part of the 90 minute transfer to the northern tip of the island. On our return journey the company owner, Janus Gyan, was our driver as he likes to see how his customers feel about the service he provides. He is keen to ensure his company is successful, and if the service we experienced is anything to go by, he’s well on his way to his goal. I would strongly recommend using him and his company."
