About this property
Bocean Villa - Luxury Hilltop Retreat
Escape to Bocean Villa, a secluded hilltop retreat in Canaries, St. Lucia, with a private infinity pool and breathtaking ocean views. Sleeping up to 8 guests across 3 bedrooms, it's perfect for romantic getaways, girls' trips, or family reunions. Enjoy cake at Adeline's Cafe just across the street, then let our concierge team arrange a rental car or airport transfer so you can explore the island with ease. Private chef, in-villa massage, and custom excursions available on request.
Architecture and Design: The property blends contemporary design with tropical aesthetics, creating a harmonious ambiance that feels both modern and deeply rooted in its Caribbean surroundings.
Ocean View Bedrooms: Each bedroom is elegantly furnished and offers mesmerizing ocean views. The master suite features a comfortable king bed, a private balcony or terrace, and modern amenities designed for a truly relaxing stay.
Facilities: The villa features a beautifully designed open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, along with a stunning infinity pool and pool deck — the perfect setting for both quiet mornings and lively evenings.
Amenities: Guests can expect a flat-screen smart TV, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, complimentary Wi-Fi, Netflix, and air conditioning throughout, ensuring a comfortable stay from morning to night. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking — we recommend bringing your preferred oils, seasonings, and pantry staples to make the most of it.
Outdoor Spaces: Bocean Villa offers well-manicured gardens, palm-fringed pathways, and spacious outdoor areas where guests can unwind, soak up the sun, or enjoy alfresco dining while relishing the gentle mountain breeze.
At Bocean Villa, guests can expect a luxurious and serene retreat — a place to unwind, take in the beauty of the surroundings, and create unforgettable memories.
Bocean Villa is booked exclusively by one group at a time — you'll never share the property with other guests. Whether you're a couple or a group of up to eight, you can choose to book the full villa or a smaller number of bedrooms to suit your party size and budget. Regardless of how many bedrooms you book, the entire main floor, infinity pool, and pool deck are yours to enjoy throughout your stay.
I live just minutes from Bocean Villa and am always reachable if you need anything during your stay — whether it's a question about the property, help arranging a rental car or airport transfer, or a recommendation for a great spot on the island. My goal is to make sure your stay feels effortless from check-in to check-out.
Bocean Villa is set on a quiet hillside with a nicely paved concrete access road, and there's comfortable on-site parking for up to 6 vehicles. While the villa is peaceful and private, we do recommend arranging a rental car for your stay, as the property is away from shops and restaurants — we're happy to help arrange a rental car or airport transfer ahead of your visit.
For guests interested in our private chef or in-villa massage services, please note these require at least one week's advance notice to arrange.
The pool is 4 feet deep and best suited for guests taller than 4 feet; please supervise children accordingly.
Check-in begins at 3:00 PM, and check-out is at 11:00 AM. Access is self-check-in: your entry code will be sent to you before arrival. The lockbox is located in the garage, on the pillar next to the orange-painted stairs — once you retrieve the keys, climb the stairs and open the white door at the top to enter the villa.

This is a great find, especially if you want to explore the island for yourself and not stay at a resort. The owner was very quick to respond to any issues and even got us a dinner reservation for the evening we landed. I would definitely stay here again!!
We really enjoyed our stay at Bocean Villa! Marcus was an awesome host! He picked us up from the airport in our rental car, drove us to the grocery store and then to the house - what service! He was available for all questions and needs throughout our stay. St. Lucia is a beautiful island with wonderful and kind residents! A shout-out to Adeline's Art Cafe across the street from the house for delicious coffee that is grown on the island as well as a delicious Creole dinner! Highly recommended! Thank you again, Marcus!

This property is a wonderful option for a quiet stay away from home. Marcus, the host, was very helpful and met our requests without hesitation. The grounds are well kept and the building is comfortable. Overall superb value for your money and this property can be rated as a must-stay.
“This listing was exactly as pictured, and Marcus was a very responsive and friendly host. He allowed us to drop our bags early and went above and beyond with recommendations and accommodations to make our stay enjoyable. The home is well set up for cooking and offers easy access to town. We also loved Claudia’s in-home meal just down the street—it was a highlight of our trip and something we would have never discovered without Marcus’s recommendation. It truly felt like a local experience and was the perfect way to spend the second half of our trip in Saint Lucia.”
The house is great. Very clean and inviting with a/c in all the rooms. The kitchen area is convenient and we cooked several meals there. There are some fruit trees on his property that he allowed us to use for our dinner creations. The pool sitting area was my preferred spot to sip on a drink and enjoy the warm evening breeze. Marcus is terrific and super helpful. Hope future guests are able to enjoy a convo with Marcus and get to know him a bit. Overall it was a great stay at Bocean Villa.
Wonderful stay just north of Canaries. Great property with everything we needed and convenient to all kinds of fun activities on the west side of the island. I didn't rent a car with Marcus but based on the way his employees helped me out when my rental had a flat, I would highly recommend it. Great views from both balconies and from the pool/patio as well. Highly recommend.
This location, although a bit removed that required transportation, which the owner arranged a car and driver, worked out very well. It has beautiful landscape,views of the ocean,beautiful yard house ocean
We had a great stay at Bocean Villa. Marcus was very helpful with suggestions. We rented a car from him, enjoyed three trips to Secret Beach, went fishing with a local Canaries fisherman, visited with Adaline (across the street) and she cooked our fish we caught. Great central location: we hiked Gros Piton, visited Marigot Bay, Anse Chastenet, Castries market, Botanical Gardens and Diamond Falls, Rum distillery, drove down the eastern shore, and relaxed around the pool. Great stay!
A perfect hillside retreat. We enjoyed eight days of peaceful sunrises and sunsets , while watching boats move up and down the coasts. House has everything we needed for perfect stay. The pool was great after a day of hiking or swimming. Easy walk to Adeline’s Cafe and Claudia’s kitchen - both wonderful places to eat nearby. Location is great for seeing north and south - east drive. Marcus is a very responsive host and was able to look at car noise on the holiday to make sure we were in good shape.
The villa was fabulous and had a lovely outlook. Marcus was very responsive when we had little issues. The only critism would be that there was no sun shade available by the pool and no outdoor table and chairs to eat at but overall it was fabulous
Excellent host, always willing to help. House was clean will good amenities. He himself helped secure a rental car which was delivered at home. Once we were stuck in Jannette point (off road). I called him, he mentioned to put the car on all wheel drive and also said he is on his way to help. By doing what he said i was able to drive the car uphill and met him walking towards us almost at end of the road. He was patient and always helpful with a smiling face. We loved the stay. Marcus also help arrange for local food. Adeline coffee shop is opposite to the villa and offers good food. We loved the stay. Thanks Marcus
Marcus was great with being able to get most of the things we asked for. The groundskeeper was sooo accommodating. Everyone was quite nice and helpful. Know there is a bar next door and not a family having a celebration party on Sunday night!
Villa is in central location for exploring island. You will need a car rental if you stay here. Nice house with great view. Owner has a car rental business which we used with no problems. As other reviews say, roads are very rough and narrow and extremely curvy. Just driving is an experience.
Road signage is also not very good around the island, but people are very friendly and helpful.
Staying at Bocean was a real treat! My wife and I booked a stay for a portion of our honeymoon. We arrived on late Sunday afternoon, and our host Marcus went out of his way to book us a dinner at the Art Cafe across the street even though it was closed for the day. (We also went back for breakfast the next day!) Marcus is a great host and responded very quickly to any questions we had, plus he provided a lot of quality recommendations for places to go nearby. We also rented a car through Marcus which was a seamless experience.The property is the perfect amount of secluded with amazing views, and a great place to unwind after days of adventuring on the island.
We enjoyed out stay at Bocean Villa. The private terrasse and swimming pool were a great asset to us. The house is in a quiet area and well located as every main attraction is about a 30-minute drive away. Just know that the owner Marcus has a small office in the basement of the house. So there are days when you are not totally alone on the property. The employees were very discreet and we had no issues with their presence but I wish I had known this right from the start.
we totally enjoyed our time at this house. Marcus made us feel welcome at his house which was spacious and well equipped. We also rented a car through his company which included getting picked up and dropped off at the airport (well worth it if you have not driven here before)! we drove to beaches to the north and south of the property and had lunch at the resorts. Marcus also arranged a private boat ride and a bamboo raft trip for us. The people of St. Lucia were friendly and welcoming and depend on tourism for a large part of their income. we would recommend this property to anyone who would like to get away from the crowds and learn more about the people and their beautiful island.
We had a wonderful stay. Marcus was the best. We rented a car from him. He also has an employee Noah that drove us to dinner in town one night as I wanted a few drinks and did not want to drive at night... we even treated him to dinner and he was super appreciated and told us about life in St. Lucia and how it was to grow up and what their customs were.. The house was huge and had everything we needed. Adelines cafe across the street had a great breakfast. Be sure to order prior day. Lots to do in St. Lucia. I suggest Orlandos for dinner one night. Do not worry that there is only a washer.... there is a drying rack and because of the breeze and warmth clothes dry within a hour or 2. Beds were comfortable. Marcus was a great host and had lots of insights to the island.

The Villa was a perfect location for us to explore the north and southern parts of the west side of the island. It was not near the resorts and cruise ship crowds. The Villa had all the essentials needed for us or a larger group of people. The place was very clean and well kept.
Marcos has a car rental company that made pickup and drop off super easy.
He arranged for Uric to show us around the first day of our stay. This gave us an introduction to driving habits of the island. Uric did a great job of pointing out sights to see and how to get to the sights we wanted to visit later during our stay.
Noah, our car rental contact, was an added bonus for a trip to the airport and was excellent in checking the car out to us and returning it. He was through and professional.
Marcus's company, 'Island Rentals' is a small fantastic team of people who insured our visit was superb.
Our family of four plus an Aunt and Uncle spent a great week at this property. It has two bedrooms with large beds for couples and one bedroom with two singles perfect for a brother/sister. It is clean and well kept. The booking and check in process were easy. Marcus was very responsive and helpful.
The location is great as it is sort of in the middle of activities on the island but closer to the Southern beaches and resorts which you can visit and utilize their beach amenities with a day pass. Driving is stressful due to curves and potholes but we embraced it as part of the adventure. Ended up being a great part of the trip. You can also have a driving service pick you up and deliver you back. All know where the Villa is. The water is solar heated and we had a good bit of cloud coverage so several lukewarm showers but again consider it as part of the experience. Did not bother us at all.
One of the highlights of this home is Adeline’s Cafe across the road from the house. She makes a great breakfast and the best cakes and juices on the island. Will cook you dinner with a day’s notice. So friendly and welcoming.
One thing to consider is to bring or ask for some wash clothes and to bring your own beach towels.
We highly recommend the house and hope to stay again
We stayed at this archeturally creative villa for 8 nights with our 3 kids, aged 11,13 and 16 years old. There was lots of space for our family to spread out. The infinity pool was a great addition to this property and was well used The villa has a fantastic ocean view and a beautiful, landscaped yard. The location was central for us to go to the many beaches, snorkeling, hiking and restaurants around Soufriere ( 20 min) or up North to Castries area (45 min). Marcus was a great host, not only arranging a rental car to meet us at the airport and be picked up at 6am from the ferry, but also responded quickly to any requests made.
The only thing to note is that the villa is a little more outdated than shown in the listing. It is missing the outdoor loungers and the outdoor furniture is old and broken. Also the couch is more dated and worn and different from the one in the pictures.
We loved our stay at this villa and the people of St. Lucia were so welcoming and friendly. We recommend this listing!

About the host
Hosted by Marcus Antoine
I’m proud to call St. Lucia home, and I’m especially fond of my village of Canaries, near the villa. I enjoy welcoming guests, getting to know people from different places, and sharing what I love about the area.
Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or a group, I hope the villa feels like a welcoming place to enjoy your time together. If you’re looking for adventure, I’d be delighted to share my enthusiasm for exploring Canaries and its surroundings.
Why they chose this property
I'm actually from the village of Canaries, and I spent years driving past this exact spot before I ever bought it. I always fell in love with it — high up the hillside, with these incredible, sweeping views of the ocean, the mountains, and on a clear day, you can even see across to the neighboring island of Martinique.
What really sold me, though, was how quiet, private, and secluded it felt — even though the village was just minutes away. The land itself had this beautiful, gentle slope that I could just picture a uniquely designed home sitting on, taking full advantage of the views and the hillside setting.
That's exactly what Bocean Villa became — a place built on a location I'd admired for years, in the village I call home.
What makes this property unique
Bocean Villa isn't just another vacation rental — it's a uniquely designed, boat-shaped home built specifically to take advantage of one of the best hillside settings on St. Lucia's west coast. From up here, you get sweeping views of the ocean, the mountains, and even the neighboring island of Martinique on a clear day — all while staying completely private and secluded.
A few things set us apart:
True privacy – Only one group books the villa at a time. There's no sharing the space with strangers — it's entirely yours for the duration of your stay. A host who's local, not remote – I grew up in Canaries village, just minutes away, and I'm genuinely close by if you need anything — not a property manager working from a distance. Real local access – We give guests a curated Guidebook to the area, personal recommendations, and hands-on help arranging cars, transfers, tours, private chef dinners, and more — the kind of local insight you won't get from a generic listing. Thoughtfully designed spaces – Ocean-view bedrooms, a private pool, and a paved driveway with room for up to 6 vehicles, all built around the natural slope of the hillside. Authentic setting – You're immersed in a real, working St. Lucian fishing village rather than a touristy resort strip, with the convenience of Soufrière and the Pitons just a short drive away.
