Your stay at this nature-filled, open air romantic 2 bedroom, 2 bath treehouse villa puts you front and center in one of the best areas in St. Lucia. Here you can go to sleep and wake up to a 180 view of the amazing Pitons and sweeping Caribbean ocean. Located in a prime area, just up the road from the highly acclaimed Jade Mountain Resort and the Anse Chastanet beach, this villa has it all--location, comfort, romance, adventure, and nature. A perfect hideaway for your St. Lucia experience. This fully furnished 2 bedroom villa is your home away from home. The unique and open architecture of this villa allows you to live in the tree line and enjoy nature to its fullest. Spend hours on the open deck, enjoying the sweeping views, feeding the birds and flycatchers, and dining on the expansive deck while enjoying amazing views of the Pitons. This is the perfect villa to enjoy a special occasion such as an anniversary, birthday, or other special event, including a small wedding. If you have a larger group, you can rent the sister property next door, the Treehouse Hideaway Villa I, which sleeps 2 to 3. The two villas are separated by lush tropical gardens, ensuring that you'll have all the privacy that you need for your wonderful stay. Special Note: We are also happy to announce that the Treehouse Hideaway Villas was selected in 2023 by the St. Lucia Tourism Ministry as a top finalist (one of three) in the first annual Gimies Awards for excellence in tourism practices in the category of property of the year, Collection De Petites (small accommodations). This villa is a complete 2 bedroom, 2 bath, open architecture home on two floors. The first floor provides a one bedroom, one bath space with open air covered deck that provides sweeping views of the ocean and Pitons. Your first thought when you arrive on the deck is, "I better get out my camera, take a photo of this, and post it on social media!" The second floor provides a cozy one bedroom suite and full bath. This floor features easy access to the lush gardens and refreshing plunge pool, a great spot to work on your tan and relax with a drink or catch up on your beach reading on the lounger. Outside you can also enjoy the special outdoor shower. It's really refreshing after a jam-packed day hiking the Gros Piton or exploring the Edmund rainforest. On the top floor, the main bedroom features a cozy king size bed, air conditioner (if you need it), and plenty of closet space to store your clothes and belongings. The adjoining full bathroom features a large shower. In the living area you'll find a futon couch (that can also be used for sleeping) and an entertainment area that provides a smart tv, bluetooth music system, and full wifi that works nicely throughout the property. The full featured kitchen provides plenty of counter space, full size fridge, gas oven/stove, microwave, and all the appliances you'll need including a juicer (to take advantage of all the local tropical fruits available), blender, toaster, coffee maker and grinder, and even a state of the art air fryer perfect for making fried plantains or other local dishes. If you have never used an air fryer and you like to cook, you'll be in for a real treat! For guests that would like to try our excellent local cuisine, our hospitality manager and chef, Charmaine, can provide a multi-course welcome meal for a small fee that will satisfy your hunger after a long journey to the island. You can also arrange for meals for other times during your stay. The bottom floor space provides plenty of privacy for a second set of guests (friends, relatives, etc.). Here you'll find a queen size bed, a full bath, and a little working area for making coffee and warming up meals with the included induction burner. The space also provides a small fridge. Recently, we're happy to announce that we've converted our energy usage from the traditional grid-tied electrical system to a complete solar system with a set of arrays to power both of our Treehouse villas. We were one of the first in our area to incorporate solar energy and we're looking forward to bringing other green energy and environmental friendly practices to the island. The Treehouse Villa Experiences Our two villas are standalone villas, each with their own private plunge pool, unique views, lush gardens, and a great staff if you would like to use them. In this respect we operate like a small full-service guesthouse. You can rent the villa and have as much privacy as you'd like and treat the villa like your typical rental. Or you can take advantage of our very experienced staff and enjoy services such as massage, transportation (private, local drivers. water taxis), delicious meals (lunch and dinner), help with touring in the area, and help in arranging local resources (everything from boat trips to planning photo events). Notes: Treehouse I vs. Treehouse II We operate two treehouse villas in the area: Treehouse I and II. The Treehouse I villa is a little smaller than Treehouse II. It's designed for a single traveler, a couple, or a couple and a guest. The Treehouse II villa is a little larger with a top and bottom floor. It's a perfect villa for a couple or two couples, sharing a special time together. The kitchen in Treehouse II is a bit larger and features more working space and appliances. Each Treehouse comes with its own private plunge pool and the villas are separated by very lush gardens ensuring that there is maximum privacy between the villas. Both villas can be rented together to support a group of 6+, for a special stay with good friends and family. If you'd like to rent both villas, ask us about a discount! The listings for the two Treehouses can be found on Airbnb. The Treehouse II villa is a standalone home with private garden and personal plunge pool, all designed for guests of the Treehouse Hideaway Villa II. Nothing in this space is shared. The villa grounds also provide a barbecue where you can grill everything from local caught fish to other local delights. Food and Delivery: We also now offer a grocery shopping service and a custom affordable meal delivery service (Charmaine's Creole Kitchen) for our guests. You can order groceries or complete lunches and/or dinners. This is a good way to experience the excellent local cuisine. The villa comes with a complete staff that is available to make sure that you can have the best possible experience in the area. The house manager, Charmaine, is known all throughout the area as the "queen" of hospitality and staying at the Treehouse allows you to enjoy local meals that are expertly prepared by her team. Charmaine can also help you plan your trip* and help you with booking any of the popular activities, such as hiking the Gros Piton, climbing the Petit Piton (for real adventure seekers), hiking the famous Tet Paul Trail, snorkeling and diving adventures in the very nearby reef, soaking in the mud baths and hot springs in Soufriere, exploring the local area waterfalls, hiking and exploring in the Edmund Rainforest (highly recommended), enjoying the lush botanical gardens at Diamond, sunset sailing around the Pitons, visiting unique local area artists (we can arrange this for you), dinning at the top local area restaurants, checking out the top resorts in the area, hanging out at the pristine local beaches, ziplining adventures, and much more. Laundry Services: The villa does have a washer/dryer as we've indicated on the listing. The machines are primarily used for our housekeeping services. If you'd like to have laundry done, our villa manager, Charmaine, can provide a laundry service for a small fee during your stay at the villa. My wife and I have been coming to St Lucia for over a decade. We have stayed in locations all over the island but this is always the area we come back to over and over again. It's like home to us. The scenery, the reef, the people, the adventures, bring us back again and again. That's why we purchased the Treehouse villas when they became available. This villa is located in a neighborhood of multi million dollar villas all featuring amazing views of the Pitons and the inviting Caribbean ocean. The best feature is that you can walk right to the beach. Anse Chasatanet and Anse Mamin are a fairly short walk downhill a little over a half mile away. From the villa, you can also walk to Soufriere town, which is about a mile away. The popular Hummingbird local beach near town is also a great location for sunning, swimming, and snorkeling (the three important "s" activities for your vacation). But keep in mind that the terrain is hilly and the walking (if you are not used to it) can be a little strenuous. There is some hiking you can do in the neighborhood, and the area is fairy quiet and peaceful. We always feel really safe here. It's a good area to meet other travelers and the staff who work in the villas nearby are always around to help or provide valuable local resources and travel tips if you are in need of anything. For walking and hiking in our area (and for St. Lucia in general) it's important to keep in mind that the island is very mountainous, roads aren't in the best of conditions, and there are hills everywhere. The hilly areas make the views especially nice but if you have walking challenges it's important to keep in mind the terrain that we have on island. You'll find these conditions every where surrounding the Soufriere area. You might find that you can't walk to all of the locations that you might want to (because of distances or hills) but we do have excellent drivers that can pick you up or drop you off. The road that comes into our neighborhood is called the Anse Chastanet Rd. and this is the same road that travels to the Anse Chastanet/Jade Mountain Resort. This road does get traffic with guests and staff going to and coming from the resort Guests often ask us if they should rent a vehicle or use other transportation, like taxis and private drivers? Not an easy question to answer because each of our guests we host has different needs. But here are a few tips: If you like to drive and don't mind driving in a hilly terrain (with not the most modern roads) and you like to explore on your own, then you might want to consider renting a vehicle. Keep in mind that the road we are located on that goes to the Anse Chastanet Resort is steep at the onset and is an unpaved road. We can help you rent a vehicle so you can pick it up at the airport or have it delivered to the villa after you arrive. We always recommend that our guests rent a vehicle with higher ground clearance to handle the St. Lucia roads. If you do a bit of traveling around during your stay, it's likely that you might be traveling on unpaved, steep, and curvy roads. If you are interested in renting a vehicle, we do have a very nice all wheel drive Subaru Forester that we make available for our guests staying with us and at other accommodations. We offer this vehicle at very competitive rates and it is the class of vehicle you won't easily find with other rental operators on island. Contact us for details and our specials. If your stay is shorter and you want to be pampered, you might want to use taxis and private drivers for your transport needs. From our villa, you can walk to the beach. You can also walk into town but the terrain is hilly and the walk is a bit of a workout. Drivers are readily available in the area and we have great driver/guides that work with the Treehouse guests. These drivers can really show you around, take care of all of your needs, and even pick you up or take you to the airport. You can hire a taxi or private driver on a trip by trip basis or hire a driver/guide for a half day or full day and go exploring. Seeing the unique area with the help and eyes of an experienced local allows you to really enjoy your time and get off the beaten path. Another good way to get around in the area is to use water taxis. This is a good way to "beach hop" and it allows you to see the beautiful coast line up close. If you are looking for a good taxi boat captain, Charmaine can help you find one. Traveling by water is a lot more expensive but it's worth it if you have limited time. Whatever your needs are, just ask and we can help you plan the perfect stay and help you keep maximize your travel budget. We also now offer a grocery shopping service and a custom meal delivery service (Charmaine's Creole Kitchen) for our guests. You can order groceries or complete lunches and/or dinners. This is a good way to experience the excellent local cuisine. Our two eco-villas are focused on being as environmentally friendly and as "green" as possible. Our pools are fully operated by a dedicated solar system, are villas are powered by array of solar panels we've recently incorporated, we collect as much rain water as possible for our guest's and garden needs, and we compost as much as possible to feed our lush gardens.
