We would highly recommend South Sea House if you are planning a trip to St Lucia. The property is close to beaches, restaurants and shopping but is a quiet, safe and comfortable base from which to explore this wonderful island. The hosts, Karen and Jerome were so helpful, professional and friendly. They were always available if we needed them..like the night we got lost and had to call them for directions. They picked up the phone right away and guided us cheerfully back home. We really felt well cared for at South Sea House. They recommended a driver, Francis, who was waiting for us at the airport when we landed. It was great to have this service after a long journey. He even stopped at the local grocery store on the way so we could buy a few essentials. This made our arrival stress free. Karen greeted us when we got to the house and gave us a tour of the apartment orienting us to all its features. The housekeeper, Susanna was always around and was very kind and helpful. The apartment is just as pictured, has high end finishes and is very clean and well maintained. It was nice to have a well equipped kitchen in which to prepare breakfast in the morning and some meals if we just wanted to relax and stay home in the evening, but with all the wonderful nearby restaurants we were lured out to enjoy the fresh flavors of the local cuisine. We slept well in the master bedroom that had a very comfortable king size bed and air conditioning. Even though there were only two of us it was luxurious to have a second full bathroom. We are early risers so we enjoyed many beautiful sunrises from our balcony overlooking the ocean. We loved having a washing machine in the apartment. The TV and Internet worked very well. We enjoyed the private plunge pool as well as the infinity edge pool with the lovely seating area. We took many enjoyable walks in the surrounding Cap Estate neighborhood. We rented a car and did a lot of exploring of the island. We took the Isreal King water taxi ride with Jerome to the Pitons. Jerome and his assistant Glenn were great hosts and brought us to many local places we would have never seen or experienced on our own. On our last day Francis delivered us back to the airport so we could have one last leisurely look at the island before leaving. It was a warm and wonderful vacation made even more so by our lovely hosts.
