The four nights we spent here were amazing. Will and Steph are great folks with one of the best spots to stay on the beach. Thanks to both of them for making us feel so welcome and being so helpful. As luck would have it we 'bumped into' another Canadian couple who we know from home, totally by chance. As much rum punch and piton beer as we could consume carried us to the streets for the weekly Jump Up street party, where dancing in the streets continues to the wee hours of the night.

The Bay Guesthouse will always be recommended to our like minded friends.

Unfortunately it was just a few days that we spent in this great guesthouse in the heart of the local community. The weather wasn't all that good but we had a marvellous time anyway. Thanks to Stephanie and Will for their hospitality and patience to answer our questions. Back in Holland we will be sure to recommend your place to all our friends. Thanks again.

Stephanie and Will,

Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay at your guest house. Air fare prices permitting, would love to get back here to stay again sometime. At the very least, we will recommend to friends and family to stay here. Thanks again.

Will and Stephanie, 

Your guesthouse was just what we wanted during our visit (March 5 - 9, 2011) and reflected exactly what you advertise.  We enjoyed all the amenities of our room, relaxed each morning and evening on our semi-private patio in addition to "toasting" the end of each day with the most incredible view of the setting sun from the guesthouse!  Your hospitality was spot on and made us feel right at home from the beginning to end.  We also enjoyed the location of the guesthouse being set off of the local scene, but close enough to feel like one of the local Gros Islet residence. We wish both of you much continued success and happiness in your slice of Caribbean "paradise" on St. Lucia!

All the best,

Jim, Jennifer Knight and Jeanette Lee (twin sisters), Maryland, United States, March 2011

Relaxing and peaceful, a few steps from an extremely interesting town, an easy walk to the great Pigeon Island. The guesthouse is in a great location.

What a lovely guest house you own! I have had such a wonderful time and I'm so sad to leave such a beautiful island. Thank you for all your helpful advise.

We really enjoyed our 8 days at Bay Guesthouse it was so great to see the sea when opening the door in the morning, to have lunch at the picnic table, listen to the noise of the waves... St Lucians are very nice people, friendly and so helpful when we had a flat tire on our car.

Will and Stéphanie thank you so much for a great and relaxing stay.

Elisabeth and Alan, Boston, USA, August 2010

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We spent 10 really wonderful days at Bay Guesthouse, the atmosphere here is really great and besides the usual "small talk holiday friends" we could find real friends here. Will and Steph are really friendly and helped us whenever we needed them. We are gonna miss sitting on the patio having a beer talking to all the guests and playing cards. Lucky us we were here during Carnival and could enjoy it. Thanks for the great time we will never forget it.

 

Lisa and Georg, Tirol, Austria, August 2010

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for your kindness and all of your help. We had a great time here whilst staying at the guesthouse. The people here are very kind and friendly. The rooms here are well kept and we enjoyed our experience. Thank you kindly.

What a fantastic place to explore the north of the island from! We had a fabulous - although wet at times - stay at Bay Guesthouse. We loved Gros Islet which is so friendly. Just sorry we missed the Jump Up, also loved Pigeon Island, particularly Jambe de Bois.

Many thanks to Stephanie and Will for their warm welcome.

Stephanie and Will,
On behalf of Gary and I, I just want to say again what a wonderful time we had in St. Lucia. It's truly a beautiful island. I can see why you stayed.
Having a wonderful accommodation was a big plus. The location is great. Idyllic fishing village. Easy access to transport and a variety of great food (local and int'l). Peaceful. Clean. Nice views. Pleasant neighbours.
Keep up the good work.
As Will said on the first night, "it all depends on what you're looking for". Bay Guest House is definitely what we were looking for. A quiet and comfortable place to relax after and between the day's sightseeing.
We would not hesitate to recommend your lodging to others.
I asked my usually talkative husband,  if he wanted me to add any words for him and he said: I am lost for words.
(I should be the speechless one as it was my birthday we celebrated.)

Gary & Lesley, Trinidad & Tobago, July 2010

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My five days spent here were truly amazing, I wish I could have stayed longer. the view waking up every morning, the one minute walk to a gorgeous beach, (which you can have to yourself depending on when you go), the friendly locals, and the amazing food in the village are all things that would make me want to come back. Thanks to Will and Stephanie for answering every question I had, letting me borrow the snorkelling equipment and overall very informative and welcoming hosts. Hope to see you again sometime.

Julia, Canada, April 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This place is nothing short of SPECTACULAR! Waking up every morning to this beautiful blue ocean. Rising into the surrounding mountains... it's enough to encourage a peaceful serenity in my soul. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience! You guys were more than hospitable - thanks for all the smiles and friendly advise!

Laura, USA, April 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have never stayed in a place more peaceful, beautiful and calm - all together!! I had an amazing time strolling the beach every morning with my mom. Will and Stephanie were more like friends. This place is a true gem! I absolutely expect to return someday for more R and R. Will and Stephanie: Thank you for a wonderful time.

Chitra, Sundara and Eric, USA, April 2010

It was another wonderful few days we could spend here. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Uwe and Mareile, Canada, April 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steph and Will - Thank you both so much for helping to make our first visit to St Lucia so wonderful. We love everything about the guesthouse. The atmosphere is casual without being forced, we were able to enjoy the crash of the ocean waves, or silence and also to engage in lovely conversations with other guests on the lqrge communal patio. You set just the right tone. The guesthouse itself was perfect for us. It may not be the Ritz , but the beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean and it had everything we needed. Thank you both! We wish you all the best and continued success with the guesthouse - you deserve it!

Anne-Marie and Harry, New York City, April 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steph and Will thank you very much for being the best hosts ever. We enjoyed our stay here immensely. It may not be a 5* hotel, but the service is definitely 5*!

Ole and Bortek, Poland / Ireland, March 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We had a wonderful time at your guesthouse, wake up early in the morning and you see the lovely site at the sea and hear the waves. It's a beautiful island and you have a unique place for a guesthouse.

Royston and Stynie, Holland, march 2010

What a lovely country and lovely guesthouse!

Alison and Steph, Oxford, March 2010

Thank you so much for a beautiful stay, in what began to feel to us truly like home.

The Anitas, USA, February 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Truly a great holiday! Thank you Will and Steph!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's all true... Will and Stephanie are lovely hosts, really welcoming and helpful. This must be the best deal in St Lucia, and we're so glad we stumbled upon it (on the internet!). I cant think of anything that would improve the place, and Gros Islet is fantastic, very friendly. St Lucia is great, but thanks to Will and Stephanie for making it really special, and for being so helpful.

David and Bryn, Iceland, January 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stephanie and Will, We had an awesome time staying at Bay guesthouse. We made great friends and had a great time sitting in the patio watching the breathtaking sunsets. We will definitely be back and will bring the rest of our family. Thanks Will and Stephanie for such a great vacation.

Gets you in the state of mind in which you can relax and catch up on some sleep! Lovely place and I really like the location. it's a nice touch that Will and Stephanie give you a brief orientation about the area when you check in.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you so much Stephanie and Will for such an amazing holiday here at your beautiful Bay Guesthouse. We very much appreciated your welcome talk advising us of places to eat and see in Gros Islet. Everyone has been so welcoming and friendly, we have been forced to just slow down and relax. seriously considering moving here as the lifestyle is so much more easy going than in London. Of course the beautiful view from thee hammock has helped too! Hope to come here again.

Lauren and Mark, UK, April 2009

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We especially enjoyed the view from the guesthouse. Thanks for your excellent hospitality Stephanie and Will!

Peggy and Richie, Florida, April 2009

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bay Guesthouse has been a fantastic spot for us to stay over the last 6 weeks. the location on the seafront is absolutely perfect and Gros Islet is an amazing village in which to get a  feel for St Lucia. I must thank Will and Steph for their hospitality and Cynthia for keeping our room in good shape. The communal lounge is a fantastic area in which to meet other guests and sitting in the hammock drinking a Piton while the sun sets is a perfect way to end the day. If we return to St Lucia Bay Guesthouse would certainly be a place I would like to stay at again. Many thanks.

Lee, England, March 2009

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is bar none the best budget option on St Lucia. the hosts are wonderful and the guesthouse is incredibly welcoming. Gros Islet is an awesome little town and the people are friendly. St Lucia is a good way to visit the Caribbean without the tourist traps.

Patrick and Catalina, Spain and Bolivia, April 2009

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for your hospitality. We had a great time here. Maybe til next time!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are so glad to spend our holidays at this peaceful place. Stephanie and Will thank you for so much for your friendly help. You were grateful hosts. We enjoyed it to be here. It's one of the last paradise! The sunsets are great. We hoped this time would be never ending. All the next guests shall have a very good time here. We hope we will come back soon.

Andrea and Andreas, Germany, February 2009

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bay Guesthouse was everything I hoped it would be. Great location, excellent hosts, terrific room with an incredible view. Loved the little town of Gros Islet, a St Lucian town with friendly people and quite a bit going on. Loved finding a shady spot at the beach next-door to hang my hammock and chill. The guests were all a friendly group of individuals, too. So thanks again for making Bay Guesthouse my St Lucian home, Will and Stephanie. I had a wonderful vacation.

Susanne, USA, February 2009

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will and Steph, thank you so much for the relaxing time I have had here at your guesthouse. It was the perfect start to my trip in the Caribbean. The location is great, the view is amazing and the sunset is just beautiful! Of course, you were the perfect hosts - I felt very welcomed. I certainly made use of the hammock but there are loads of other things to do on this little island... Overall, I had a fantastic stay, and I hope to come back one day. I look forward to the Carnival in Trinidad, but I am certainly sad to leave this lovely island of St Lucia!

Margaret, Hong Kong, February 2oo9

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for a great place to stay and RELAX! We really enjoyed our time here!

Valerie and Larry, USA, February 2009

What a beautiful island and such friendly people. We wish we could stay longer. The guesthouse and hosts were wonderful. The sounds of crashing waves and rustling palm leaves is so relaxing.

Will and Debbie, USA, January 2009

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What a wonderful week we spent at Bay Guesthouse. Amazing view every mornings, sea, sand and palm trees... Very welcoming Steph and Will. The perfect location for a relaxing holidays.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THANKS will and Steph for your hospitality! We've had a wonderful relaxing time here at Bay Guesthouse! Love the hammocks and the orange colour. Don't think we will find a place as great as this in St Vincent... Hope to see you again!

Karl and Sigrid, Sweden, January 2009

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great place to start our St. Lucian vacation. Gros Islet has an authentic St Lucia atmosphere that can't be beat. Hope to find myself writing in this book again some day.

Thanks for the great experience in St Lucia! I am so happy that I got to experience my first time seeing the Ocean here, I couldn't ask for anything better!!

I will never forget this! Thanks so much.

Darren and Rudi, Canada, January 2009

We spent beautiful two weeks in Bay Guesthouse. Thanks for hospitality to Stephanie and Will

Dora and Laszlo, Hungary, January 2009

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just what we hoped for! Peaceful, close to the water you hear the ocean all the time. Close to a stroll on the beach early in the morning with goats and horses. Village is just as we'd hoped. Thank you Will and Steph for this pearl - so far away from resort style but still everything you need! Two minutes from everything. Hope to see you again!

Marten and Brita, Sweden, December 2008

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All my life I remember this good place!!!

Harry, Holland, December 2008

Will and Steph, thanks so much for the fantastic time I had at your place. I've travelled quite a bit in the Caribbean on this trip and I stayed in a couple of guesthouses,  but yours was without a doubt absolutely the best! A perfect spot on this island, very relaxing, beautiful views, stunning sunsets, I've met so many nice people here, combined with your warm and friendly hospitality, I enjoyed it so much that I had to extend my stay week after week after week... I'll be back for sure!

Felicia, Germany, June 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your guesthouse is so nice and welcoming we wished we could have stayed longer. The view is amazing. All of the people that were staying here were so nice. St Lucia is so beautiful. We certainly want to stay here forever. Thank you Steph and Will to an amazing end to our honeymoon. Your hospitality is so refreshing.

Abby and Rich, Arcata, CA, USA, May 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forget all inclusive tourist traps, this is the place to be to experience the real St Lucia. We've experienced so many aspects of St Lucian life thanks to Stephanie and Will's help and guidance. Nothing is too much trouble because they really want you to enjoy your holiday to the full. What a wonderful location, accommodation so close to a real St Lucian fishing village. We cannot thank them enough.

Jan, Pam, Marg, London, UK, May 2008

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Bay Guesthouse looked amazing on the website, and I was suspicious that the sunset photo was borrowed it was so good. How fortunate then that this lovely place and its island exceeded my expectations of beauty and charm. Will & Steph, you don't need to be told what an excellent job you're making with this beautiful guesthouse!

George and Naomi, London, England, April 2008

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We cannot begin to express our gratitude for Will and Stephanie's warm hospitality!! If it were not for them my fiancé Jim would not have had the perfect proposal for me. The Bay Guesthouse provided the perfect St Lucian experience from a cultural and geographical location. We were able to meet guests from all over, making it able for us to share great stories and experiences. Our time here will never be forgotten. Thanks again to our hosts - we are very grateful for all that you have done for us!

Carrie Dale and Jim, North Carolina, USA, April 2008

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stopped here for 2 weeks of my placement at Victoria Hospital. Couldn't have wished for a more friendly and relaxing start to my time in the Caribbean. Wish I could have stayed for longer. Made to feel very welcome by Steph and Will, the perfect hosts! I definitely made use of the hammock during my stay. Think my favourite thing to do was to swing in it, watching the sun go down with a Piton beer.
Overall a perfect guesthouse, with an incredible view, (which you never get bored of), where you get to meet some great people and experience more of local culture than you would do at other resorts. Just what the doctor ordered!!

Rachel, Kenilworth, England, April 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Bay Guesthouse is top!

Patrick, London, England, April 2008

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will and Steph, you are gracious and wonderful hosts! We have loved our two weeks stay at your guesthouse and would highly recommend it to everyone. Great value, beautiful setting. Really like the communal patio for we met some great people who we will keep in touch with. We hope to come back! Sincerely,

Karen and Jesse, Victoria BC, Canada, April 2008

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What a beautiful place and such lovely friendly hosts in Stephanie and Will. Had a wonderful time, despite the weather and will take home happy memories of Bay Guesthouse, which made our visit so special.
Many thanks and good luck for the future with your exciting adventure.

John and Anne, England, April 2008

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The charming, bright house, the perfect location, the best views, a genuine place, a true gem in the Caribbean. We will bring home some amazing memories... and who knows? We might even come back!!

Thank you Stephanie and Will for having such an amazing guesthouse in Saint Lucia! The Caribbean sea, the views from the garden, these are really breathtaking.
All the best,

Sebastien and Cathy, Paris, France, March 2008

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey guys! Well that's us home safely, all rested and with happy memories of our stay in St Lucia.

We did want to thank you for all your help with the planning of our holiday, from the initial booking stages and keeping us in mind for the Ocean View Studio (I'll miss that view!) to helping us make all of our excursion arrangements (the trip on the Brig Unicorn to the volcano & swimming in the waterfall was our favourite day). We'll definitely keep you in mind for our next trip to the island (and there will be another one day!).
Thanks again & take care.

Jake & Stevie, England, February 2008

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have just spent the last two weeks staying here. Tonight is our last night and we do NOT want to go home!!
This guesthouse is an awesome place to just chill out and do nothing. It's also nice to be away from the touristy areas.
Thanks Steph and Will - you've got such a cool place.

Vicki, New Zealand and Dilan, Wales, February 2008

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi W & S,
Just a quick note to say how much Polly and I enjoyed our holiday at Bay Guest House. It was fantastic. Location really great and it was so nice to come back after a day in the sun, have a cool shower and a couple of beers or gin and tonics. We met Patricia and Simon too who we will stay in touch with, so it was great.
We were sad to leave and I am now in my office in London typing this email!
At least it is quite bright and not raining!
Anyway, thanks once again for your hospitality and if we visit St Lucia again I'm sure we will come to you guys.

Duncan and Polly, Essex, UK, January 2008

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steph and Will,
Thank you for a wonderful time. You both were very friendly and hospitable. The views were spectacular and very relaxing in the evenings. Your recommendations were excellent. Overall, the guesthouse is in an amazing location near the beach, a Friday night street party, plenty of foods and bars and best of all near the bus system! Thank you for a wonderful stay in St Lucia!

Tiffany and Chris, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, January 2008

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Lisa and Fred, Canada, December 2007

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for the pleasure of letting us stay with you guys in paradise. Truly amazing! There is not one thing you could want to improve upon. If we have the pleasure of coming again we know who to call. You are wonderful people, that's including the island. Best wishes.

Desiree and Greg, San Diego, USA, November, 2007

A property that can't be beat... An island within an island as we say in New Orleans, "Laissez les bons temps rouler" (let the good times roll).

David and Marsha, New Orleans, USA, November, 2007

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the hospitality at the Bay. I really enjoyed just chilling out after a hectic month of research and 'sand investigation'!
The Bay is a great location and the views I experienced were truly awesome. Missing the Piton beer and the view of Pigeon Island whilst eating breakfast.
I very much look forward to returning to St. Lucia and exploring once again.
Keep Well

Will and Steph it's been amazing, it's so refreshing to see people not in it for the money providing this for financially challenged guests. We've had an amazing, amazing, amazing time!
Thank you for a fantastic location and perfect surroundings for our holiday. We couldn't have asked for more. All the best to you both.

Hi Will & Stephanie,
Just a quick e-mail to say home safe and just to thank you once again for your fantastic hospitality! – I had a really amazing time in St Lucia and that has a lot to do with where we were staying! 
Thank you so much for everything,
Take care,
Best Wishes,

A brilliant place to stay in a fab location! One of our favourite holidays so we may well be back soon... The locals are great and the local beach so quiet, the swimming is great.
Keep up the good work Will and Steph!

A big thank you for letting us stay here at Bay Guesthouse. We love Gros Islet and had a fab time!
Very sad to be going home today but we have lots of great memories of BBQ chicken, Piton lager, spiced rum, beautiful sunshine and snorkelling with lovely bright coloured fish! Woo!!

Thank you Will and Steph - your beautiful St Lucian Guest House is befitting of the St Lucia way, welcoming, helpful and full of smiles... Going home tomorrow to save up and return ASAP...

Hi guys,
Thanks for a wonderful 5 days in your guesthouse.  The location was perfect and the sunsets hard to beat!  We already miss enjoying our cold Pitons in the hammock!  You have such a peaceful setting and a great location for adventuring about the island!  Love your place and hope to return one day.  Best of luck to the both of you!

a massive thank you for the great time Josette and I had staying with you...
once again... most of all, glad we stayed here...

We all came to watch the cricket it's true
with the warm Saint Lucia sun and skies of blue
enjoyed the seafood washed down with Piton beer
but most of all glad we stayed here

The cricket was great England won twice
We celebrated at Tilly's with fish and rice
Ronie took us out over the island to explore
but most of all, Will and Steph we all adore

The big surprise was taking Will to the cricket
where we spent all our time explaining how you get a wicket
Now its time to return home and shed a tear
but most of all glad we stayed here

Dear Will & Stephanie,
Tere and I had a wonderful vacation and Bay Guesthouse was a big part of it. We couldn't imagine having as nice a time locked away in a "resort". Sitting on the porch, lying in a hammock, floating in the warm water, watching the sunsets - it was all perfect.

Thanks for the experience.

Had a top time at a top place. Cant think of anything that would make Bay Guesthouse any better. Steph and Will arrange everything you could ever want. I hiked up Gros Piton which was a great day. Felt totally relaxed and at home here in Gros Islet. I will remember it fondly.

Tom, England, October 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you so much for making our stay in this beautiful place, that little bit more amazing. Love everything about this little guesthouse and could not think of a better place to stay! Thanks again.

Dear Will and Steph,
We arrived here completely exhausted from our exams and after some days and a few Pitons we recovered completely. This place must be paradise. We enjoyed our room very much and we would like to come back to this outstanding place. Thanks for everything!

Chris and Felix, Switzerland, September 2006

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay here and would like to thank Steph and Will. Our 14 nights at the Guesthouse gave us the relaxation we greatly needed. Everything about this place cant be improved upon, the view the facilities in the room.

Hi Steph and Will,

Just to say a big thank you.  Jodi and I had a wonderful 3 week holiday at Bay.  It was so hard to leave there yesterday and can't believe we are now back in London - although the sun is shining here.

You have a lovely place there in Gros Islet and it's an ideal setting and location - will certainly recommend Bay to our friends for when they get around to visiting St. Lucia.

We'll be back at sometime in the near future and once again a big thank you from myself, Jodi, Steph and Rhys.

 
With very best wishes.
Carole and Jodi, London, UK, June 2006

What an amazing place you have it is more lovely than the photo's.
Your hospitality without being overbearing like some places was appreciated and enjoyed to the max. (...)
I have told everyone about it and will be back next year same time - wish it could be sooner but more Islands to visit. (...)

Jane, UK, May 2006

Wherever I walk today I have constantly the sight of the white beach with the turquoise coloured sea and Pigeon Island in the background hanging as a backdrop.

Thanks for everything

Hi Stephanie and Will,
 

We had a wonderful time at your place . You have a beautiful and peaceful spot, and we will definitely recommend it to anyone we know is going to St. Lucia.

Dear Will and Steph.

The Norwegian sisters are now together again, in Lill's home and we are on a trip down memory lane. We have just seen photos from St. Lucia and really wanna go back to our home away from home,- the orange house at the beach!!!!

Miss you, the hammock, the rum, the sun and we could go on and on. And of course we have this unfinished business in Rodney Bay. Guess you remember that boat trip on Unicorn that never got real. By the way THANK YOU so much for reminding us to catch that plane. Amazing how relaxed we managed to get!!!!! And to everybody who might think about going to St. Lucia and don't know where to stay,- THIS IS IT!!!!!! Trust us. But remember to tell Will and Steph to remind you to get on your plane back home. It is so easy to forget.....

Evy Ann and Lill
