The Gazebo was amazing! Olga was like family and treated us just the same. Beautiful home and even more remarkable view. Peter and Trevor were very nice and accommodating.

This was a very beautiful villa, private and perfect for a rest away from home. I would recommend someone staying here and would return to the villa in the future.

Lovely
Second time here - staff is great, views are unreal, ocean sound beats every white noise machine. Almost whole house is outside - so sunscreen and bug spray are a must.

My husband and I spent a week at Smugglers Nest with our 9-month-old and absolutely loved our stay. The property is spotless, peaceful, and incredibly welcoming. Ms. Olga went above and beyond—she even held our baby each morning so we could enjoy breakfast, which meant more to us than she probably knows. Smugglers Cove beach is just 99 steps down from the gate and is stunning. I highly recommend having Blue Sky pre-stock the groceries so Ms. Olga can prepare an arrival meal—we skipped this and definitely regretted it. Renting a car is also a must; Pigeon Island is an easy drive with two simple hikes and a beautiful, calm beach that was perfect for us. Overall, this was a 10/10 stay and we would absolutely return.

This was by far the best place I have stayed whilst holidaying! The place is magnificent, nestled on a cliff top overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The views are spectacular and I still the endless blue sparkling ocean when I close my eyes! The staff at the house are amazing!! The kind and wonderful Miss Olga looked after us during our 10 night stay, as did the groundsman and gardener! Their presence was not at all intrusive. Nothing will set you up for the views and chilled vibes this place offers. Highly recommended!!!

the best villa on the island of Saint Lucia
Our stay in this villa was absolutely the best experience on the island of Saint Lucia. The villa is very spacious, set in a beautiful garden, with a stunning pool and a magical view of the sea that you can hear all day. It's true that you get a bit of a walk from the kitchen to the bedroom, but that's not a problem at all. The space is huge and beautifully equipped with many details. Every corner of the villa exudes comfort, care from everyone, and gives you a sense of complete privacy. You can reach the beach in three minutes, which is a big advantage. If we hadn't wanted to see other places on the island, we could have easily stayed in the villa the whole time and enjoyed all the comforts. I also thank the cook Olga and the other staff for all their care.

Smugglers Nest
This open-sided cliffside villa is a rare and beautifully designed home with many different spaces from which to enjoy the spectacular views. If you are looking for modern fittings and inside space this house is not for you. But if you want unique, barefoot beauty and kind, dignified staff then this is the place for you. There are hummingbirds in the trees, birds in the kitchen and sunset views from every room.

Absolutely Amazing
This house is unbelievably beautiful. The staff and sweet puppy are the icing on the top. Restful, peaceful, easy, yummy, views….all words to describe this villa. You won't be disappointed. Only negative is there is no sign on the gate so you don't know where the house is and they don't give you a street address. Clarify this information before leaving on your trip. We spent 40 min trying to locate the villa.
