We stayed for 6 nights in August in Villa Blue Maho. We found it to be a very large and convenient rental, with its own pool. It has incredible views of Marigot Bay and Doolittle beach. The location was ideal for us. Being south of Castries gives you relatively quick access to many parts of the island. Dining and grocery are not far away if you have a car. We also loved having our own private pool to cool off during the warm summer evenings.
The property is a large, individual villa on a quiet street. From the entrance lobby, there are 2 big air-conditioned bedrooms on either side, each with it's own bathroom. The access to the pool deck is also off the main floor. Upstairs, there is a huge kitchen, and two large living areas and another bedroom and bathroom. There is good wifi access and the mosquito netting is adequate. We cooked several meals at home and found the kitchen has plenty of pots and pans, and basic appliances, though it could do with some new coffee mugs. We felt very secure in the house. External doors had deadbolts, and the driveway gate has a padlock that we always secured when we left for the day, and returned for the night.
Being an older house, there are some maintenance issues that need to be addressed. The door to the master bathroom doesn't fully shut which means the a/c cannot keep up. We also encountered a leak in the laundry room. Having laundry facilities on site was a big help, though! The microwave gave out during our stay, but was promptly replaced.
Note, there is no phone in the villa. And, we aren't sure why, but we weren't able to make wi-fi calls using our phone either. Pauline and Cornelius were very helpful in responding to our concerns, but, we could only reach them via email. So, I recommend having a local phone if you want to stay here. Also, it may be difficult to find the place initially – so avoid reaching there at night.
