50th Celebration Week

This is a beautiful home with an absolutely breathtaking view. There was plenty of space for the four of us and the décor was minimalist modern making the overall feel light and airy. Flores was a delight and made us a few delicious meals. Alston (driver) was available whenever we needed him (I'm very happy we decided to use Alston instead of renting a car - the roads seemed very difficult to navigate). I would suggest adding an approximate cost to the items on the grocery list, the sticker shock - though somewhat expected - was real! Also, an expectation of Alston's fees ($120 USD to/from the airport, etc.) to help with budgeting prior to the trip would be welcome. Overall, the house was everything and more than expected! Thank you!

Such a lovely place to stay

Le Toc Villa is absolutely gorgeous and comfortable. And the views are amazing! The owners and property manager were so helpful before we arrived and while we were there. Alston, the driver recommended by the villa, was the best driver on the island and a real pleasure to be around. Flores, the villa's housekeeper, was a true pleasure and we came to love the gardner, too. The road leading to the villa is not in great shape and a getting to the beach was a bit of a challenge, but the views more than made up for that. The pool is not heated, so be aware that it is very refreshing. Overall, we had a fantastic vacation and we love St. Lucia. This was an incredibly comfortable place to stay. Also, love the blender, which sounds weird, but it made a great smoothie and pina colada. Get a fresh pinapple from the market and try one yourself! Until next time!

Amazing Family Vacation

We had an amazing time at La Toc Villa. We were provided with a wealth of information from Melanie and Joan before we even arrived. Then we were greeted with warmth and hospitality from the moment Alston picked us up at the airport, to meeting with Flores and Joan upon our arrival at the Villa. The villa was beautiful, and the views were breathtaking. We enjoyed the indoor/outdoor living spaces every morning and evening. Being located in Castries, we felt like it we had easy access to all parts of island. We would highly recommended La Toc Villa.

Family Christmas

Our family of 5 visited for a week from Texas. We rented a car(prepare to drive on the left and be alert)and this was a good choice as we like to be on the go. The location in Castries is great,if you want to explore the island.The view and privacy of this villa is so much better than shown.It has a gate to the drive,you can't see neighbors, it's awesome.You have to be ready to use the a/c only when you're in your bedrooms(it's super cold), the main part of the house doesn't have a/c, adhere to the hot water schedule, the shower is super hot in the morning and evening. Enjoyed the warm breezes through the main part of the house. All windows and doors open across the entire house. It's beautiful. Embrace it and know that's the experience you're signing up for. Yes, the house needs some TLC but it's not dirty.I would suggest getting all new bath, pool and beach towels. They are very worn and torn. Nice consistent towels would make a big impact. I actually liked the French press, after I found a youtube video, it was fun to make coffee each morning. I would provide ground coffee for your guests or make a cute coffee station. I would also invest in some nice soap dispensers you could refill.The dime store soap pumps make the bathrooms look cheap. I would not advertise walking to the beach. It's not a great experience,hard to get to,unsafe feel,nowhere for your towels,rough water.The beach chairs for guests were rusted and broken.Flores is amazing, have her cook a dinner for you!

Just ok

On the positive the property has amazing views, is super clean and comes with the support of the most amazing housekeeper who did everything possible to make our stay special. However the house and hospitality itself comes up quite short and overall felt very miserly. The house interior is old and in need of a lot of maintenance. Yellowed chipped toilet seats, threadbare old linens, old noisy fridge, old chipped and damaged kitchenware. The whole place needs a refurb. The showers are terrible. After a five minute wait we were able to get hot water in one but at barely adequate pressure. We found out this is because the owner chooses to limit the amount of time the hot water heater runs which is really poor. The pool faces away from the sun and is very cold. TVs are old and small etc. Check in felt more like being back at boarding school with an exhausting and pretty inhospitable list of dos and don’ts including things like ‘if you use up the paper towels and toilet paper you’ll have to buy your own’. So overall we’d say not the worst but certainly far from the best we’ve stayed in. FYI two points to note in case you do stay here to consider binging yourself. Not that they were promised in the listing or anything but we were surprised to find no Nespresso or K-Cups machine-just a French Ppress that’s seen better days. And there’s no technology like iPhone chargers, USB adaptors or Apple TV units.

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Courtois

Hello!
We are Mel and Mike from Toronto, Canada. We have been visiting St Lucia many times over the last 15 years, so much so that we have decided to buy La Toc Villa, our own piece of paradise, in 2019.
We are happy to share our family's vacation home with our guests and hope that they fall in love with beautiful St Lucia and create memories for a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

La Toc Villa was built for indoor/outdoor living. The villa's terrace extends the entire length from the kitchen to the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms with folding sliding doors to feel the Caribbean breeze no matter where you are in the villa. We can spend hours on the main deck, in the morning, drinking our coffee, looking at the ocean and watching cruise boats come in.
The large master suite upstairs has its own private terrace with sweeping views of the Caribbean and is the perfect spot to watch the beautiful sunsets.
We are just a short (but steep) 4 minutes walk to La Toc beach and love going for a walk and a bit of people watching. We just bring our towels when we want to dip our toes in the ocean. The waves can be intense, so when we want to spend time in the ocean with the kids, we usually go to Rodney Bay or Pigeon Island, our favourite beaches.
La Toc Villa offers self-catering accommodation and is available for vacation rental all year round.
We love that we are in a quiet neighbourhood and for longer stay, we rent a car so we can enjoy the island fully. Otherwise, we call Alston, who is the best and friendliest driver on the island, to drive us around.

What makes this property unique

The Villa itself was design and built by an Italian architect. It's very different from most residences on the island as it has a more contemporary feel with the indoor/outdoor living. We fell in love with it because we can see the ocean from every room. The design also allow for many private spaces where one can retreat to read, have a nap, or just get gaze at the views.
We took great care in re-furnishing the villa, renovating the deck, railing and pool in 2021. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Joan, our property manager will be there to welcome you and give you a tour of the house. She can help you organize transportation from and to the airport, car rental and buy groceries for you. Flores, our housekeeper, goes to the Villa from Monday-Friday to clean during your stay. Bedding and towels will be changed every 4 days. Flores is also an excellent cook and can cook local cuisine for our guests (lunch and dinner only, for $50USD Mon-Fri, $60USD Sat-Sun and Holidays, plus cost of ingredients).
