Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Castries

Very welcoming and understanding hosts. We originally booked 2 nights but had to cancel 1 night because of an island ferry booking change .... the hosts were very accommodating. Upon arrival, the hosts were also instrumental in retrieving my lost purse. What could have been a vacation nightmare had instead a happy ending. Thank you again!

Florentina was very responsive .

had such a lovely stay at this quiet, cozy room. The space was clean, thoughtfully decorated, and felt like a true retreat from the hustle of everyday life. The bed was comfortable, and I appreciated the peaceful atmosphere it was what I needed to rest. The host was kind and respectful of privacy, while still being available if I needed anything. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a calm, comfortable place to unwind.

Victoria was very accommodating. She gave us great ideas and recommended people to help us out. The area is very quiet and serene, however, in order to do any excursions you do need a car or need to pay someone to get you there. It was a relaxing vacation and I did enjoy the quietness, however, I think if I was to do it again, I would spend half my time in Rodney Bay for a little more excitement and then half my time there for the relaxation.

We had a great stay at this property in Saint Lucia. The location is stunning, elevated with a breathtaking sunset view. Our room was very clean and well-equipped, with a fully functional kitchen. The only downside was the lack of air conditioning, but it was still comfortable. Without a car, getting around can be a bit tricky since it’s not in the city center. However, local minibuses are cheap (1.75 ECX) and work well. Willi was very kind and even drove us to get groceries and dinner on our first night. A quiet beach is just a five-minute walk away, but there are no restaurants nearby, so be prepared. We also loved the guided island tour arranged by Willi’s brother-in-law—it was full of great insights and surprises. Overall, we really enjoyed the view and cleanliness. It’s a bit less convenient without a car, but definitely manageable. Highly recommended for a relaxing and authentic experience! Thanks a lot Willi and Judy

My wife & I completely enjoyed our time at Star Lily at Mango Beach. It was a comfortable & peaceful base for our time in St. Lucia. It’s an easy/delightful place to just hang out around the pool or patio or… There is a fun, up hike behind the property, a mile+ loop, with great views of the bay and some ropes on a part to keep it interesting! There is a short walk to the beach via a boardwalk or by water taxi. We were grateful for all restaurants Vicki suggested, many close by in Marigot Bay. Some favs were Roots2—delicious & The Villa— great view & food, need reservations. We had a jeep which made exploring St. Lucia easy, but driving off the main roads, especially to some beaches, was an adventure! A jeep is the right choice. If you prefer not to drive, a local driver can be arranged.

This Airbnb is really great, it’s the whole lower apartment of the host. You have your own bedroom, own bathroom, own kitchen and your own entrance. Carlile is a very nice and cooperative guy, who seems to like Airbnb👍🏻

We had a lovely stay the host ray was absolutely fantastic he answered all our questions and was always willing to help loved his recommendations Keebees restaurant in Rodney bay is a must food was fantastic The villa was absolutely stunning wow the views we will definitely be back if we come back to St Lucia We would 100% recommend to family and friends

Hospitality at its finest. Prompt airport pickup. Your driver holding a sign of your name welcoming your arrival to the beautiful St. Lucia. A trip to the grocery store for food and snacks. Scenic drive to the Airbnb (a quick snap of the Pitons of course) and wow…the view is like none other on the island. The moment you walk upstairs and open those double doors you will be greeted by something Godly. Denise and her extraordinary team were so responsive to each request and they made me feel as comfortable as possible. The treehouse restaurant is within walkable distance. Other activities of interest will need to be by car (Which of course Denise will assure you have on call if you’re not comfortable driving on the left.) Be sure to pack everything she mentioned once book to assure your stay is more comfortable. Thanks you and the team Denise for a memorable birthday. God bless 💕

Thank you for a wonderful stay. Michelle shared a number of recommendations with us before and during our stay. She was very responsive and friendly. The villa was beautiful - the photos don’t do it justice!

Natural Vibes captures the original AirBnB spirit of hospitality, and Cri and her family exemplify this. Right from booking, Cri was attentive without being intrusive, her warm welcome made us feel like old friends and she went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed. The unit matches its photos, offering ample space for a couple with essentials like AC, fast broadband, a great shower, and a large fridge, but also lots of homely touches with original art, ornaments, fresh fruit and cookies. Located on a quiet suburban road, it’s a 5 minute walk to Rodney Bay’s shops, banks and restaurants and a further 10 minutes to Reduit Beach. Local buses are available for a few dollars to easily reach the bars and restaurants overlooking the harbour at Rodney Bay’s marina. We were attending St Lucia ‘s Jazz festival on Pigeon Island, so the location was ideal for our visit. Only regret was we couldn’t stay longer and take a boat trip with Lincoln…. Next time! Thank you, Cri 🥰

We had a great stay here! Recommended for travelers wanting an alternative to the resorts and to stay in town instead. The town is beautiful and there is a ton in the area to explore either by longish walk or short taxi. The water pressure died at one point but I came back before too long. The host was very responsive to all our questions.

I recently stayed at Akheim’s Lakeside Bungalow in St. Lucia, and it was a wonderful experience. The location is serene and peaceful, offering the perfect getaway. Akheim was incredibly friendly and attentive, always responding promptly to any questions I had. His hospitality truly stood out. During Akheim’s absence, his mom, Jenetha (I hope I got her name right), stepped in to assist. She was equally warm and helpful, making sure everything ran smoothly during my stay. The bungalow was well-maintained, clean, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I appreciated the little touches that made it feel like a home away from home. Overall, I highly recommend Akheim’s Lakeside Bungalow to anyone visiting St. Lucia. The combination of excellent hospitality, beautiful surroundings, and comfortable accommodations makes it an ideal choice.

Home away from Home really felt like home. We were pleasantly surprised with the property & felt the pictures didn’t do it justice. The balcony overlooks Vieux Fort which is spectacular at night time. You can catch the beautiful sunsets from there too. Having two bathrooms was so convenient. The AC in the bedroom much appreciated, as well as access to the washing machine downstairs. The area is so peaceful. Ideal if you have access to a car, as town is a short drive away. Julian’s brother picked us up & was on hand for any queries. The two cold Piton Beers on arrival was a bonus. We had access to plenty of towels & also enjoyed the spacious kitchen. There’s plenty of closet space, and the closets even have lights in them. Julien really takes care of the place. If you’re looking for somewhere to relax, you will feel right at home here. There’s a huge sofa & TV for the nights you just want to chill. We will definitely stay again. Thank you so much, Julian!

In st Lucia for wedding. Perfect place to bring adult kids with their significant to celebrate! Jasmine was very responsive, helpful and the setting was beautiful!

Magical place! If you’re looking for something a little bit different and peaceful, this place is great. Very outside - no walls so you wake up with the sunshine and the ocean view. This means it’s definitely for the more adventurous but we loved watching the wildlife all around us. Joachim and Jacky were both very helpful; we’d definitely like to visit again

Great place

We had an amazing stay at Stacy’s place . In our opinion the photos don’t do the house justice it is a beautiful clean spacious environment. Stacy and her mum could not be more helpful. We were felt at home immediately. The garden is kept beautifully and was amazing to look at. The house is located well even if you don’t drive it’s a short walk to either Reduit Beach or Gros Islet Beach. Or there is also a bus stop at the end of the road if you needed a lift in to Castries or further. We are so grateful for Ralphie (Stacy’s mum) who gave us some home made green seasoning when we couldn’t find any thyme in the supermarket. It was delicious. We hope to book again when we come back to St Lucia

We can highly recommend Magdalena's place! Although the room is a bit small for 2 persons you have enough space in the beautiful garden and on the terrace. We enjoyed spending the evenings there listening to the frogs. All was super clean. You can walk to Souffriere or take easily a local bus. Magdalena was always there for a chat or helping with recommendations. You will feel like being a part of her family.

This place absolutely exceeded all expectations! The home was spotless, beautifully designed, and even more stunning in person than in the photos. The pool was a true highlight—clean, inviting, and perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated, and the whole experience was seamless from check-in to check-out. If you’re visiting St. Lucia, don’t miss the chance to stay here. Highly recommended!

The Villa was exactly what I wanted for my trip. It’s very close to the airport via taxi, and you can walk into Vieux Fort as well. Brigitte was a kind and accommodating hostess, and she is easily one of the nicest people I have ever met. She recommended great restaurants and locations to visit. The property has an amazing view, and the Villa was a very cozy place to stay; the bed was very comfy and the AC kept the room perfectly cool despite the humidity outside. She made an amazing breakfast for my first morning there, and I had the opportunity to have coffee with several of her friends a couple times during my stay. I have no complaints at all. Highly recommend staying with Brigitte and her sweet dogs, Billy and Heidi!

Gabriel was the perfect host from the moment I booked until I left. He arranged a taxi to pick me up from the airport - which meant i didn't have to worry about figuring it out at the airport and also meant I didn't have to give directions. I was able to access the property immediately and was pleasantly surprised to see that the space matched the photographs. As a woman travelling alone, the apartment ( a self-contained space on a property with other homes) had the right mixture of privacy and security. Having cooking facilities and a fridge, meant that I had the option of cooking. The apartment is a 10-minute walk from the central part of Rodney Bay, where there are lots of restaurants, bars, a beach, supermarkets, etc. My favourite part of the whole stay was the care and helpfulness that Gabriel and Kat added to the experience. No request was too much for them. I will be back!!!

What a view in a quaint St. Lucia fishing town. Breathtaking. You are able to see Martinique from the balcony. There are fresh vegetables in the garden for cooking. Marigot is right around the corner and then Canaries and Soufriere to the south. We were welcomed immediately upon checkin for parking and then walked to our room and shown our room, all the amenities, and were told about everything the city and island had to offer.
