Built in the 1970s, at a time when people still really understood what simple, straight-forward tropical living was all about, and when great locations were still up for grabs, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has everything it takes to be a wonderful home in the islands: a full-on sea view, access to the sea and two nearby beaches (at Windjammer and at Eastwinds hotels), a deep, shaded balcony that runs all along the sea-side of the property, a large, infinity-edge swimming pool and cool, breezy, intimate yet spacious bedrooms. Not surprisingly, this is also a very successful short-term rental holiday home. Located about half a mile off the Castries-Gros Islet Highway, in a classy part of Marisule with good-quality homes around it yet at the end of a quiet road, with several mature trees on both sides, this home has white adobe walls, high ceilings with exposed beams, beige floor-tiles that look warm but keep temperatures pleasantly cool, French doors out to the balconies, and grills that make it possible to sleep with the doors wide open.

The house sits on just about 7,000 sq ft of freehold land but immediately beyond that is a further 13,000 sq ft or so of Queen's Chain land, which is not owned freehold but can be used by the owners of this house as a garden. The freehold area has been fully fenced. There is a brick barbecue and additional storage space underneath the deck, while cisterns hold an ample back-up supply of water.

One enters the house on the level of the living room/dining and kitchen, which is semi-open plan. Behind the kitchen is a laundry/pantry area. Off the living room, double doors lead to the huge covered verandah outside, which adds a space at least as large again as the entire inside living/dining area, irresistably inviting al fresco dinner parties or simply lazing about with a good book.
Three or four steps down from the living area are the three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The largest of the bedrooms is approximately 16 feet by 15 feet in size. It shares a bathroom with a second, smaller bedroom (10 x 12 ft). The third bedroom (appr. 14 x 12 ft) is the master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. There are ceiling fans throughout.

The house is of sound structure, has been meticulously maintained, and the entire property breathes a kind of New World gaucho charm that is so rarely found these days in the Caribbean, yet which displays evidence of a deep understanding of the importance of sea-views, breeze and simplicity of construction which makes tropical living such a special experience.

This property boasts an excellent short-term rental history.
