Historic Saban cottage in Windwardside, all amenities only a 2 minute walk away!
This cottage was built in a bygone era (1858) in Windwardside and features stunning views of the blue Caribbean, the misty top of spectacular Mt. Scenery, and the picturesque village below. Within 1-3 min you can walk to 2 grocery stores, 6 restaurants, 3 bars, the PO, a dive shop, 2 tourist shops, 2 churches, and a lovely park with museum. It's been a popular tourist rental for 10 years now, especially with divers as the pick up point is just below.
In 2022 a second separate efficiency apartment of 230 sq ft (22 sq m) was completed adjacent to the original cottage. Peter Hytte can be combined with the main cottage if three couples are traveling together, for example, as a small dive group. The apartment has a fully stocked kitchenette however there's plenty of space to dine and socialize all together in Althea Cottage if desired.
For active travelers who don't need as much space as the main cottage offers, Peter Hytte provides the same views and amenities at an attractive price point.

About the host
Hosted by Jeffrey Vadheim
I'm Jeff, a retired physician who ran a large B&B in Phoenix, AZ for 10 years. I found Saba on a map when I was 9 and vowed to visit the island one day. I vacationed here 30 times and finally bought one of the homes I used to rent to continue hosting travelers in my second retirement. I have since built a small cottage for myself at the far end of the property so I am available all the time for questions or assistance.
Why they chose this property
Historic from 1858, comfortable, airy, situated on a large property for this island (nearly 1/4 acre) with stunning views from both front and back patios.
What makes this property unique
Best central location for all amenities visitors need in the main central tourist area of the island. A rental car is really not needed, you can walk everywhere and hitchhike to the other towns if you like. The views are strikingly gorgeous out to the ocean on both sides and constant breezes with the many doors open on the cottage mean AC is rarely needed.
