The perfect getaway
We had the most wonderful time at the Treehouse! All the attention and helpful tips from the owners as we prepared for our vacation were invaluable, and Damian, the property manager, was just a gem throughout our stay! The terrace, the views, the plunge pool, the proximity to Anse Mamin were all fantastic. And to top it off, we rented our car thru Damian and the villa, and it couldn’t have worked out better. We will be back!

Beautiful Island and the Treehouse Tops it Off
St. Lucia is a beautiful Island, and Treehouse Hideaway Villa 2 was the icing on the cake. Located just above the city of Soufriere, it offers unparalleled views of sunset everyday. Secluded but close enough to activities it offers a respite for the customers to enjoy some down time if needed. They offer home cooking by the Fabulous Fabi, if you are staying there do take advantage of her talents. I recommend the Creole Chicken with full Provisions. Need to get around the island, you have two options. Treehouse has a car for rent so you can tour on your own, or their Property Manager Damian can take you anywhere on the island via taxi. Staying here is far better than being in a resort because it offers you the chance to immerse yourself in the culture and people of St. Lucia. All members of the team were responsive, professional and friendly. Our two + weeks there they were like family to us.

All About the View!
Awesome location with some of the best views you can imagine. The best part of the experience was sitting out on the deck and taking in the scenery. We also used Fabi for dinner the first night which worked out great. If you are looking for a local meal with good scenery, this is a great option. As other have noted, the road to the house is rough and you need the right rental if that your choice of transportation. We used a 4wd Jimmy that worked perfectly. They also have a vehicle for rent but we didn’t take advantage. They have a couple locals for property management, Damian and Dulice. We did not really use them but we tend to be very independent in our travels. Overall a good value and a great experience in this part of St. Lucia.

Thanks for selecting the Treehouse and for staying with us in paradise after being away from St. Lucia for 20 years. We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed our villa and the special views and that our staff—Damian, Fabie, and Dulice took good care of you. This group is our dedicated 4staff and not property managers and they are always available to help guests enjoy our area inside and out, make their stays really special, and have a more authentic local experience in St. Lucia. Thanks for pointing out our new transportation feature for our guests—our deluxe Subaru Forester that we make available as a rental to help our guests get around much easier and in style driving in the mountainous terrain in St. Lucia. We hope you don’t have to wait another 20 years before you are able to come back to paradise!

The property is AMAZING. Everything about it we fed the birds in the morning, went to the beautiful beach and swam In the pool. Also we got the chef for the meal and she was amazing!! I would highly recommend ! No complaints at all. I do have to say Damian went above and beyond he made our stay extra special. We were sad to say goodbye to him. We will be back!!

Great views, close to the city. Great alternative to a resort if like living natively
Property was well kept. Hosts and manager where great. Bedroom had cold A/C which made it comfortable to sleep. The views of the Pitons are hard to beat anywhere. It is a like staying in the rainforest which is why we chose this spot so come prepared to watch out for misquotes.

Unbeatable View
The treck up to this property is not for the faint of heart. We did not know this coming in, so it caught us off guard: however, it was, 100% worth it. The parking situation was a bit hairy, but didn’t bother us too much. The host was not available to show us around when we arrived, so he asked someone else to do it. He did stop by the next morning to check in on us though. The pictures on this listing were what draw drew us to stay here. The real life view surpassed all of our expectations. The kitchen was very well stocked with all of the cooking supplies we needed. The beds were comfortable too!

Thanks for staying with us Rebecca and thanks for letting us know you enjoyed the views, beds, and the kitchen. We try to keep the villa really well stocked and all set up for our guest’s enjoyment and to make their stay with us easy. We recently just updated our parking area right above the villa to make parking much easier. We actually have two hosts at the villa, Damian and Dulice, so depending on when guests check in, one of our hosts will typically meet with guests to show them around to make sure they are all set up for their stay with us.

Peaceful Getaway
Let me begin by saying that the booking process was easy. Thank you Keith for keeping in touch with us all the way up to our arrival to make sure that we were settled in. Charmaine is an asset to this property she guided and directed us during our stay. And the 1st blessing that she gave us was sending Kendy to pick us up at the airport. Kendy was our driver and guide for our entire stay. His knowledge of the island and places to eat & things to do was invaluable. He took us to a great spot to watch the sunset. The Coalpot was our favorite for a meal... they served us late because they knew Kendy. Everywhere we went everyone knew Kendy and that good will & love for him spread to us. The view from the treehouse never gets old. You have an unobstructed view of the mountains and sea. We had breakfast overlooking the Pitons every morning. Just a note about the hike to the beach. It is a 16 minute hike a straight descent on rocky ground that makes it more of a hike than a walk. My husband and I are in good shape and I dreaded the thought of having to walk back up to the villa from the beach. Someone driving by had mercy on us and gave us a lift back up to the treehouse. Anyone with mobility issues can't do the down and up from Anse Chastanet Beach. Oh FYI we didn't know this...but you are an hour and 30 minutes by ferry to Martinique. We will definitely hop there on our return. Thank you Keith, Charmaine, and Kendy for making our stay unforgettable. We will return!

Thanks much for staying with us and glad to hear that you had a great stay and that you enjoyed our area. We’re also pleased to her that one of our local driver/guides took good care of you. We’re lucky to have such good driver/guides such as Kendy, Benton, Claive, and Damian, who also serves as our new host at the Treehouse Villas. Walking in general can be a little challenging in St. Lucia, especially during the high heat in the afternoon and of course because St. Lucia is quite mountainous—we have hills everywhere. But you can always get a ride back from the beach or to the beach by one of the local drivers. Hope you can come back as we would love to host you again!

Piton Paradise!
What a hidden gem! We loved our stay at Treehouse Villa 2. Charmaine was a delight and encouraged us to feed the birds on the corner of the deck so they continue to visit. The first morning I went out to the deck with my book and coffee and was either serenaded or scolded by a little finch shaped bird. It talked and talked to me until I gave it a piece of my banana and then left the peel for them to peck away at. The little guy loved it and would get so close to humans. The pool area was great - sunny in the morning and shady in the late afternoon. A great feature. Make sure you have a meal across the street at Caille Blanc - exquisite property and service. They really want advance reservations but squeezed us in our first night. Highly recommend a 4X4 vehicle for the road. The worst part was at the beginning and then it leveled out. We made it up on the second try! Snorkeling at Anse Chastenet and the Soufriere Beach were both good with the Soufriere Beach being better. Swim along the shore starting from the dighy pier. Lots of fish and lobsters to observe. The schools of little silver fish just seem to follow you and are quite used to snorkelers. It's also a great beach for collecting seaglass. I left some behind on the art wall for the collection. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise!

Hi Juliana, We really loved reading your review and description of your experience at the Treehouse and it made us laugh a little. The bird you mentioned, we fondly refer to as “Henry.” We have no idea where that name came from but that’s what we call him as he likes to come around a lot to do some entertaining. He definitely loves bananas and other tasty fruits. Fortunately, there is always a lot of fresh fruit around to keep him happy. We also like to snorkel starting at the Soufriere Beach Park. The reef that starts here spans all the way to the north and thus you can hug the coast on a calm day and do quite a long snorkel as you swim and enjoy everything you can see along the way. Lots of guests go to the resorts nearby and certainly enjoy them but this part of the coastline is really special so glad to hear that you were able to really enjoy it. Thanks much for staying with us and hope to host you again sometime.

Perfection
My husband and I had the most perfect stay at Treehouse 2. We loved that it sat up higher above the trees and could see clearly both pitons and sunsets daily. Having access to staff (hospitality manager Charmaine and driver Clavie) was the perfect mix of on our own but with some help when needed. We searched long and hard where to stay and decided on this place for: Location- close to ask the major attractions and wanted to do hiking, waterfalls, etc but also some beach time. The Soufriere area is like a postcard! Price- a fraction of the resorts down the road for the same view Amenities- plunge pool was so nice to cool off, AC in bedroom was welcomed to get good night's sleep and relief from humidity. Snorkle gear, beach chairs, and cooler backpack were so nice to have. Fully stocked kitchen supplies and US outlets were just a bonus. Favorite things in the area were Superman falls (mud there to do the mud bath experience), Botanical Gardens, Hotel Chocolat tour, beach day at Anse Mamin, and Mystic Man sunset. Meals at Island Chef and Treetop at Crystals. Tips for travelers: bring more cash than you think you need and hiking sandals for hikes or walking the hills. Consider renting a car (we did for 4 of the 8 days) you get used to the roads and are able to explore off the beaten path places! If you are on the fence, book it you don't regret it!

Stunning and relaxing!
Pretty much agree with most other reviews ! Beautifully and interestingly decorated and well equipped house, the balcony has stunning views of the surrounding area and we spent several evenings just sitting watching glorious sunsets. Communication with owner and house manager was easy and they were at all times helpful and provided timely and accurate information and Charmaine cooked us a lovely meal on our last evening..It is quite remote which is part of it's charm the only downside being that the "roads" to and from town and the beach were more challenging on foot than we had imagined so you just have to bite the bullet and take a taxi for most journeys . Local rates are not inexpensive ( 30 USD for 10 minute return journey to beach ) but drivers ( we used Clavie and his sidekick Damien)were easy to communicate with, reliable ,prompt and helpful so you do get good service for your money ! Can thoroughly recommend the property to others .

Thanks so much for staying with us Chris. We’re glad to hear that you had a really nice time at n St. Lucia and at the Treehouse. Sitting on the balcony and just watching the amazing sunsets roll in is one of our favorite pastimes to enjoy also whenever we are on island in paradise. Our villas are located in the Anse Chastanet foothills, which sits right above town and we’re just right up the road from the Anse Chastanet Resort and the posh Jade Mountain, one of the top resorts in all of the Caribbean. But St. Lucia is a very mountainous country and most areas are fairly rural, so walking to many locations isn’t a preferred mode of transportation. Some islands in the Caribbean are fairly flat but St. Lucia is nit one of them! We always try to let guests know about this in our listings and in our very detailed travel guides so that they can plan for transportation. One of the big highlights of our area is that there are so many things to see and do but the entire Soufriere region is rural and things are really spread out. But the local drivers who also operate as guides really make adventures in the area enjoyable. Transportation costs on the island are not inexpensive, as with many areas like this one might travel to, because fuel and vehicle costs and maintenance are very high. We hope you have a lot of great memories and that you’ll want to come back to St, Lucia again.

Amazing Treehouse Villa
We just spent a week at Treehouse Villa and it was wonderful! The view from the deck is stunning, pictures don’t do it justice. The villa is beautifully decorated with local art and very comfortable. We spent most of the time that we were at the villa out on the deck, soaking in the view. The pool was nice for relaxing after spending the day out and about. Charmaine was extremely helpful, and communication was excellent. She made dinner for us the first night which was very helpful and it was delicious. We did have to have the nurse come to the villa to do our exit Covid test, which is very pricey and you have to pay with cash. We rented a car, and the road leading up to the villa is scary, but drivable. We were glad that we had gotten the car. In general, we had an excellent experience and loved the villa and the island.

Spending lots of time on the deck and taking in the views and enjoying the wildlife is one of our favorite pastimes when we are at the villa. Of course traveling around the area and enjoying the actives available is great fun too We’re glad you loved your stay and a wonderful experience. For Covid testing to return to the Us btw, guests do have a few options: (a) they can bring test kits that are linked with an online health practitioner verification, (b) go to the test lab in town., (c) or have a nurse come up to the villa. The nurse just charges an extra fee for the service.

Fabulous location and stay
We had a short 2 night stay that was very enjoyable! The up front communication from the owners was very detailed and helpful. They were also quick to respond to any questions. I can't say enough about the local property manager, Charmaine. She met us on arrival in order to walk us through the property. In the short time we were there she also helped arrange transportation to Orlando's for dinner and Anse Chastenet beach. We ordered lunch and dinner from her and the food was great (in addition to there being plenty for leftover meals). She was quick to respond to questions/requests. The views from the villa are as advertised and amazing!! We are frequent (annual) visitors to St Lucia and a bucket list item for us was staying somewhere with a view of the Pitons - mission accomplished. The back deck provides a lovely panoramic view of the Pitons and Caribbean Sea, nothing short of breathtaking! Even though we didn't self cater much (outside of making coffee, local cocoa tea, and warming up leftovers) the villa kitchen was well appointed. The bathroom was well stocked with towels and toiletries. The bed was comfortable and the bedroom A.C. felt magnificent after a hot day at the beach. We didn't utilize the tv or owner provided cell phones (great touch!) but they are available. For US travelers there are plenty of "normal" outlets and a power strip provided. We enjoyed using the salt water plunge pool to relax and take in the local trees/plants. The drive to the villa is not directionally hard, but is interesting due to a narrow road. If driving yourself you'll want to have a vehicle with a relatively high clearance. We had a rental car, but after getting parked we utilized a local driver (Courtney) or Charmain for our trips to into Soufriere and to Anse Chastenet. Round trip to either place was around $20-$25US, but it was worth it for us to not have to drive up after dark and/or after a few Piton beers. :-) We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend booking here!

Treehouse Villa II - what a gem!
Our stay at Treehouse Villa II (upper and lower floors) was fantastic! Keith, the owner, was quick to respond and a great communicator. He gave us tips on where to buy groceries, rent a car, and helped us set up the Covid exit antigen tests. Charmaine, the property host, was available to help out with any and all questions. She was attentive and kept the house well stocked with dishes, 100% cotton linens, drinking water, and electronics (there are even U.S. type A and local type G wall outlets). She scheduled the nurse to come to the villa to take our antigen tests and delivered the required certificates in the morning so we did not have to go hunting for a location in town. The villa is amazing! The plunge pool is cool, deep, and very clean. A lovely brick patio surrounds the pool, with sunning chairs and an outdoor shower. The landscaping is lush, clearly someone spends time adding and tending to the extensive variety of plants that attract loads of birds. Getting to the beach is easy; one can either walk or drive to close by Anse Castanet Beach which has a sandy beach and pretty good snorkeling – one can walk an additional 150+/- yards to Anse Mamin Beach, a lovely and peaceful sandy beach. It’s a short drive back down to the town of Soufriere (local market) and public beach where Action Adventure Divers, with a certified Padi dive instructor, is laid back, simple, and safe - Chester was a great guide who took us to two excellent boat dive locations very near by with loads of fish and coral species to enjoy. The property has a full size gas BBQ. We ate all of our meals on the covered upper deck while listening to and watching the birds, and gazing at the ocean view and gorgeous sunsets. Of note, the access road is not far below the house so you will hear vehicles coming and going during business hours - but you will not hear barking dogs, goats, or roosters! We loved out stay at Treehouse Villa II and hope to return. Angie and Jerry from Whidbey Island Washington

Perfect Paradise Get Away
We had a magnificent time unwinding for 10 days at the Tree House Villa II. The communication with Keith leading up to the trip was prompt and detailed. Once we arrived Charmaine and Chrisel made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The villa was clean, well appointed for cooking in and in a great location for a home base to explore the south of the island. The view from the spacious deck was magnificent and we enjoyed winding down each day with a rum punch as the sun set over the ocean and the bats began to take flight. Charmaine’s creole fish and salt fish with green figs was by far one of best meals of the week! We enjoyed going across the street to nice small hotel/restaurant for cocktails, salt cod fritters and lambi (curried conch). Enjoyed the roti from Fedo’s and Malgretoute Beach. Stay away from Orlando’s, it was bland and laughable that he thought it should be a tasting menu. From not being able to make basic cocktails, to bringing in a camera crew in middle of dinner unannounced, it was one of the oddest and most unpleasant dining experiences I’ve had in my travels. The jeep rental was a huge plus to get around on our own schedule. The roads were an adventure but fine once you got used to them and took your time. Also, would suggest having a nurse come to villa for rapid covid test prior to leaving. We were setup at the lab in town but when we got there they didn’t get their test kit delivery that day. You are also in a waiting room with a lot of people waiting to get tested, so definitely recommend paying a little more and having it done on-site. All in all, it was an amazing trip made extra special by the wonderful owners and hostesses’.

Beautiful views of the pitons
Charmaine made our stay so easy. She is wonderful. The bedrooms have AC while the living room/ kitchen does not. ( many villas in Saint Lucia do not have AC) we really appreciated having a cool bedroom to sleep in, since on other trips to other villas we struggled with being too warm. Please note that the road to get there is not for the faint of heart!! I have traveled all over the island. And it is a scary road. But it’s worth it. The views, and the peace and quiet are lovely. The anse chastanet beach is 7/10 of a mile away. It is lovely and you can rent a hut roofed set of two chairs for 60 a day.

Important Information to know!
We were disappointed the week prior to arriving because the owners did not tell us about the 7pm curfew or the COVID restrictions until it was too late to cancel. I think you should know all the information before you book! The treehouse villa is nice, has great views and has what you need for the week. The walk down to Hummingbird beach is around a mile down a pretty steep hill. The beach is okay but it has great views and the locals who are there daily are very friendly. Some of the better beaches are not accessible due to COVID which was disappointing. We could not rent a car which was also disappointing. The drivers charged us a lot of money and I think more than usual to make up for lost money due to COVID. We were told we had to have a driver to go everywhere but we found that the locals in Soufriere were glad to have us and did mind us walking through town and going grocery shopping, farmers market shopping, etc. Even the police waved at us. As long as you wear your mask in town you can go anywhere. The curfew is 7pm which was not great but you can still go to other resorts to eat as long as you make it there by 7 pm. We went to the Ladera and Hotel Chocolat restaurants and thought they were good but not great for the amount you spend. We did enjoy Calle Blanc restaurant which is in walking distance from the treehouse. I recommend you talk to the locals and arrange tours through them and not Charmaine. Charmaine quoted us a boat tour that was four times the amount we paid after walking to the tour company and arranging it ourselves. Due to the lack of tourist prices are negotiable. We were able to partner with our neighbors in the other treehouse to share tours and car rides. Also, I recommend you grocery shop on your own so you know what your getting. I also recommend you call to make your own dinner reservations so you can ensure they are made then let Charmaine know as an FYI. I recommend chartering a catamaran or boat to go Marigot Bay and to see some of the nice resort beaches. I thought the best snorkeling was at Sugar Beach. The Gros Piton hike is not hard but a nice workout with great views at the end. We loved the mud bath and sulpher springs as well. Do both the hike and the springs in the same day as they are close to each other. We would definitely visit St. Lucia again!

Thank you Katie and Justin for visiting the Tree House and we're glad to know that you enjoyed your stay and that you would like to come back to visit St. Lucia again. It's great that you we're able to do a lot of things and enjoy yourselves! Just to clarify a few things: When you booked The Treehouse we sent you our comprehensive guides as we do for all guests with the lists of amenities and activities available. With COVID-19, this has been very challenging, as things can be shut down unexpectedly, or curfews can be added or taken away with only a day's prior notice. However, cars rentals have not been made available to guests since March of 2020 and this remains in effect. All of the information that we have provided indicates this, and guests are fully aware of this at the time of their booking as well as other ongoing restrictions that have been put into place. Katie did contact us on 2/24, after I had sent her the most current updates on policies that we had received, and inquired about the cancellation policy as she was unhappy with the car rental situation and the curfew that had been put into place. As it was 4 days from her arrival, cancelling to receive a full refund was simply not possible under our policy. We did offer that if they cancelled and we could re book those dates that we'd be happy to give them a credit toward a future stay. She indicated that they would go ahead and keep the booking. We were dismayed to hear that despite the current laws in St. Lucia requiring visitors to not wander unsupervised into town, that our guests opted to do so without regard to the laws in effect that they were aware of well prior to their departure, and reiterated upon their arrival to St. Lucia. The laws are to protect the local population and visitors from the spread of COVID-19. Outbreaks are devastating in these small Caribbean countries and in the small communities of the island. Despite what they may have experienced in town, this puts Villa owners and resorts into jeopardy of losing their license to operate, as well as putting staff members at risk. There have been several instances in St. Lucia of hotels and guesthouses that have been forced to shut down. We were rather shocked to hear about their assessment of Charmaine. She has been a a valued team member of the Tree House staff years, and has always gone out of her way to provide exceptional service to guests. She was never consulted about pricing for trips.

Great home base for exploring St Lucia
Stayed Dec 2019 for 4 days. Loved this property and so glad we stayed here. Pictures are accurate - the house and view are amazing. Keith was very responsive before the trip. Our flight was delayed arriving late in the evening and Charmaine was there to greet us with a re-heated dinner that was excellent. Could gush on a huge essay, but here are short notes: - Used the house drivers which was much easier/safer than driving - definitely recommend - House had an office-style water cooler, and provided a cell-phone for calling staff/drivers - Plenty of bug coils/candles - mosquitoes not a problem, other bugs not either if you left most lights off at night - A/C in bedroom worked great and let us shut up the house for noise insulation as much as temp control - Awesome rain-forest shower - Their A/V cabinet has a lock and key you take for putting away your valuables during the day since you don't want to shut the house up - Charmaine doesn't work Sundays but still called to check on us - Road to house is an adventure - thus glad we used drivers - House had bananas, flashlights, sunscreen (most likely left from other guests - we added to stash), shampoo/conditioner - Walk to Anse Chastenet beach is easy. - Two small cons 1) Back of house is closer to Anse Chastenet road than I thought - maybe 40 feet above the road leading to hotel. Cars have to go slow but you do hear them go by occasionally. Not a big deal, but also why AC was a plus 2) Sound travels from neighbors and Treehouse 1. During day someone would have music playing, but not a problem at night

A Dream
What can be said about this property and location that would properly do it justice? The striking views of the Pitons from Treehouse Hideaway II must be seen to be believed; in fact, my fiancee and I spent a good portion of our time in St. Lucia just relaxing on the balcony, sipping rum cocktails, watching birds, and trying to believe our eyes. That said, there actually is more to do that just stare at, what I believe, is a top 3 most beautiful setting I've ever been to! First, the plunge pool on the property is amazing - refreshing, perfectly shaded while still having some sun, and always clean. Additionally, sailing, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, and beach time is but a short trip away. Keith, the owner, and Charmaine, the property manager, were so helpful in getting us set up with what we needed. We're pretty low-key people, so we didn't have to ask Charmaine to do to much for us, but she always checked in to make sure we had everything we needed (also her cooking is divine). My fiancee and I picked up groceries for our entire 5-night stay on the way from the airport (use Benton! He and his other drivers are great), which we would definitely recommend for those not planning on going into town often or those without a car. Definitely take the short, 10min walk down to Anse Chastenet Beach and spend at least one full day there, as the food and drinks are good, reasonably priced, and the snorkeling/kayaking are fantastic. The walk back up is sweat-inducing but still short (drivers can be arranged too). The sunset cruise on Mystic Man was also a trip highlight. All in all, St. Lucia is a gorgeous place and Treehouse Hideaway II, in my opinion, is one of the best places to stay on the island for the price. Enjoy!

Thanks so much Brandon for the kind words and the very detailed review. St Lucia is such a magical place and we were so glad to hear that you guys really enjoyed your Treehouse stay and the Soufriere area. We always find also that there is so much to do in the local area but just chilling at the Treehouse and taking in the amazing views is a teat in itself. Thanks again for finding us on Vrbo!

Just Perfect
Wow. I've stayed in numerous rentals across numerous countries, and for the most part they've all been nice, but the Treehouse was just on another level. The views, beauty and cleanliness of the property are somehow better than the pictures. The attention to details and recommendations provided by Keith and his staff was above and beyond anything I've experienced at a vacation rental. Our first trip to St. Lucia would not have been anywhere close to the same without their help. Loved the adventurous drive up and down the road in our rental vehicle - I'd definitely recommend renting one. Big thanks to Keith, Charmaine and the whole Treehouse staff! We'd love to come back.

Treehouse Bliss
My wife and I stayed in the Treehouse Villa II for our honeymoon in April of 2019 and we would not have changed a thing about the experience. From the beginning, Keith was super helpful with any questions we had about the listing as well as about the island. He was able to answer everything in a timely manner. As for the property and experience, it is exactly as advertised. The view from the deck is really unbelievable as I could've just stared all day. The pool are was great for relaxing and cooling off. Charmaine and everyone else made our stay feel very welcome and her meal on the first night was so delicious. We will be referring the Treehouse to anyone interested in St. Lucia. Great vibes :) Bob

Beautiful villa for our family trip
My husband and I stayed at the Treehouse II with our children, ages 5 and 9. The place is beautiful and well-maintained. The view is absolutely stunning and much more magical than the photos! The large deck off the back of the villa was our favorite place to relax and the kids also enjoyed the plunge pool. Keith, Charmaine, and the rest of the staff were very helpful. The location is great and close to many activities, hiking, and beaches. We rented our own car and felt comfortable driving around the island. Overall, we had an amazing trip and would recommend this rental to couples and families looking for an adventure and a private place to stay.

Great Villa in the Trees Above Anse Chastenet with Beautiful View of the Ptions
Treehouse II is a very nice small villa up the mountain above Anse Chastenet. The road is pretty rough getting up to it but once there the view is fantastic. Charmaine does a great job as a manager for the property and is always available to help in any way she can.

Amazing View
The view from this property was stunning, the pictures don't even do it justice. The property itself was also lovely, very well maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful. The road to get here was a bit interesting.... It is a bit secluded, which is exactly what we wanted. Very close to Anse Chastanet beach.

Thanks so much for staying with us and getting to experience this unique part of the island. There’s nothing like waking up to the amazing views of the Pitons. It’s something we never get tired of, year after year. The road to the Treehouse villas and the same road to Jade Mountain kind of adds to the adventure. I sometimes wonder what the area would be like if the road were wider and turned into a fancy paved road. It would make it easier to drive but it would bring so many more drivers to the area. As so many things in the Caribbean, you just learn to go with the way things are. Maybe we’ll see you back on the island sometime again.

Nice view, and refreshing plunge pool with gorgeous plants all around!
The Treehouse II was a lovely place to visit. The view is breathtaking on the deck, and the plunge pool and hang out spot on the lower deck as very nice. There is plenty of space for 4 people. The locals were very nice and helpful. Bring lots of cash for tips! Everyone on the island knows one another. There is a long hike up and down steep hills to Anse Chastanet Resort and back. We decided to rent a jeep-like vehicle on the second day. We like the freedom of going anywhere without calling and waiting on a taxi to arrive. Driving on this island is quite an adventure! Our favorite part of the stay was our visit to the Botanical Gardens with our guide "Alexander the Great" or "The walking Internet". He knew everything about every plant on the island including its classification and origin. We were quite impressed with his knowledge of the history of the island as well. We also loved the local coffee shop and our visits with Zaka and his lovely family. The coffee is quite addicting! We decided to do a land and sea tour. We went to Sugar Beach, which was the best snorkel spot, and many other places on the island. We even did an ATV ride, which included a hike on the Enbas Saut Waterfall and trail. It was very secluded, which was nice. The waterfall is in the middle of the rain forest. It was nice. I have to say this island is not for the physically unfit. There are lots of steps and steep hills through the trails and every road. Our only complaint about the Treehouse is the lack of Air conditionaing. It was hot every day, and there was no relief inside the Treehouse II. There is a small window unit in the bedrooms with a timer. 6 pm- 8am. That would be my husband's alarm clock every day. All in all, our trip was great! I never felt unsafe. This is one of the most beautiful places in the world. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to be there and experience this place.

Gorgeous view!
Very well equipped house with full kitchen, very clean, thoughtful provision of first night dinner (delicious!), bug repellent, beach towels, beach chairs. Large deck for dining and relaxing with gorgeous views. Very safe. Easy communication with Sam. Excellent staff - Charmaine(housekeeper), Alvin (pool cleaner), BK,(security) Calvie, Marcus ( drivers). Felt at home and comfortable. 15 min walk to Anse Chastenet beach but we had Calvie drive us back up the steep hill :-). Less than 10 min drive or 20 min slow walk downhill to Soufriere town where you can arrange for boat tours or water taxis to other towns and beaches. Highly recommended stay. Thank you very much to Sam for a terrific experience!

Wonderful!
My husband and I stayed at Treehouse II to celebrate our honeymoon and it was just perfect! The photos of the Treehouse and the beautiful views don't do it justice. We loved staying here and hope to return one day to do it all over again! We left the doors open every night to enjoy the breeze and the night sky, which was wonderful! And there's nothing like waking up to that view of the water and the Pitons :) During our stay we walked down to Anse Chastanet and Anse Mamin multiple times to visit the beaches and the Treehouse restaurant at Anse Chastanet resort (delicious!) We also walked to the top of the hill at sunset to see the incredible view of Soufriere! The Treehouse is the perfect mix of being close enough to visit the big attractions by taxi, while also being removed from the crowds of people at resorts, which was exactly what we were looking for. It was also convenient to have a full kitchen to use to cook meals when we didn't feel like going out. Charmaine and the rest of the crew that takes care of the Treehouse were wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed. Already missing this beautiful island and our home away from home! :)

Private Paradise!
This was our 5th trip to beautiful St. Lucia. We decided to rent the Treehouse II instead of going to a resort as we were looking for a different experience. We were not disappointed! The views from the balcony are amazing! The property itself is gorgeous-lush plants and beautiful flowers everywhere! We were treated daily with visits from hummingbirds, finches, crackles and fly catchers. We spent some time at Anse Chastenet, Anse Mamin and Sugar Beach, all which have wonderful views and amazingly clear water. We went to town for some groceries but just got a few. We had planned in advance to have our breakfasts at the Treehouse and a meal or two and eat out at different restaurants the rest of our stay. Nothing like sitting out on the balcony having coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening with such beautiful views of the Pitons and the ocean! We walked down to the beach a few times, and got a ride there as well. We walked up to the top of the hill behind the cottage and enjoyed a beautiful view of Soufriere. There is a private plunge pool to cool you off after your walks that is surrounded by lush tropical plants. We left our doors open to the balcony the whole week we were there and it felt like we were sleeping outside under the stars! Charmaine was always available if we needed anything and cooked us a delicious dinner our first night there. Charmaine and Sam made us feel very welcome - they are both so friendly and helpful! Our drivers Paul and Benton were both very friendly and great drivers! We enjoyed our stay at the Treehouse II and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday!

Sunsets and Rainbows in Paradise
We stayed in the Treehouse II for a week. It was perfect! The night we arrived we had a wonderful welcome fish dinner waiting for us in the oven, along with a pre-arranged pitcher of Charmaine's amazing rum punch. There is a grocery store in town where you can get basic things like eggs, bread, bacon, rice etc. Our taxi driver took us to the local fish market where we purchased lobster and fresh mahi. We patronized a few local restaurants and ate the rest of our meals at the Treehouse II. The view was spectacular with the Pitons to the left and the Caribbean Sea all around. Sunsets and rainbows. The walk to the beach down the hill is great exercise and the views from the walk up the mountain were spectacular. The flowers and plants that surround the house are breathtaking. Alvin, the gardener, tends to them well and John maintained our private plunge pool and walking areas daily. We felt so pampered. One day we took a taxi ride around the whole island and we all came to the conclusion that Soufriere was the right choice for us. We highly recommend it if you want to experience the real St Lucia away from the cruise ships.

The Treehouse II is a great location to spend a few days near Soifrere before taking off to explore the northern end of the island. You feel like you are right in the middle of nature with spectacular views of the Pitons. Sam was very diligent in responding to all of my emails and Charmaine took great care of us.

We fell in love with Treehouse II
We fell in love with the Treehouse II from the moment we stepped out of the Taxi. It’s perched on a hillside covered with flowering and fruiting trees. A few steps and we were through the front door, into a very private sun-warmed retreat. The open air floorplan includes a very cozy living room, a super comfortable bed with netting and a deck/dining area with breathtaking treetop views of the Pitons, bay and ocean. We felt immersed in our natural surrounding especially as photogenic banana-eating songbirds visited the bougainvillea- wrapped deck from morning till evening. We were welcomed by the resident kitties and House Manager Charmaine, all of whom made us feel like part of the family. Charmaine, a thoughtful advisor, was very protective of us, gave us a tour of the downtown shops, and every other day prepared large portions of delicious fresh local food. A set of steps beside the house down the hill lead to the plunge pool and patio which was also hidden in beautifully landscaped vegetation. We forgot there were neighbors. There were lounge chairs for sun bathing and the pool was very cool and refreshing. We made use of the back pack chairs and snorkeling gear on our walks downhill to Anse Chastanet Beaches. The darker sand was very hot but the water was perfect. The beaches had security guards, so we felt really safe leaving our belongings while snorkeling. We often packed our lunch, but food and drinks were available at the open air beach resort. Soufriere was very close. We enjoyed the coconut treats from the bakeries, fresh vegetables from the farmer’s market and street vendors and the local Piton beer. At the wharf, a community employee kept hawkers from bothering visitors. Walking back uphill from either town or the beach was very steep. It’s a good workout but taxis are readily available with a phone call. Frequently taxis drive the narrow road looking for fares. Benton's taxi service was very courteous and we enjoyed the company of every driver we had. Sam has a great staff and the Treehouse is incredibly well cared for and safe. Sometimes staff work around the property during the day. Sam himself was wonderful to work with. He shifted our days at the house when a snow storm cancelled our first flight and arranged for our pick up at the airport. We recommend this spot especially to people looking for a quiet, private, relaxing get-away. Thanks Sam, Charmaine, Sharon, Alvin and John. your friends, Joyce and Tom (Jan/Feb 2016)
