The view is the best part! Stunning view and ocean sound. The kids enjoyed the pool. The house is comfortable. It could use some updates but everything worked and the King bed was comfortable. You might like to know that in June the seaweed blooms and is all over the beach, so we could not enjoy the beach at all which really bummed us out bc it is a beautiful area. But, we made the most of our time with other sightseeing. I also recommend seeing what events might be going on during the time you travel. A Soca Fete kept us up all night one night with loud music. Getting out to Sauters is a nice change from the South of the island and we enjoyed our time.
I’ve spent a lot of time over the last 2 years in the Caribbean in AirBnbs and this was the best one I’ve stayed in by far. Being so close to the water is a real treat, it can’t be beat. Even though you can’t really swim at the beach, having the sound of the waves at all time and your own very private deck is amazing. It’s also nice to be away from the main touristy part of the island – and having Petit Anse as a restaurant nearby. Only real downside is that because you’re so far north, to get to the main sites of the island is a bit of a drive. But when I go back to Grenada (and I will), I will absolutely be staying here again.
Paradise! the house itself is perfect and John and Sonya were fantastic with their communication. Sauteurs is a lovely town as well
This was a great trip! I knew it was far away from the hustle and bustle of the southern part of the island, but it was what I was looking for! The dipping pool and beach were amazing and Petite Anse was great for dinner. Definitely recommend renting a car. Thank you Sonya and John for the easy communication.
It is a sweet place. A little more dated than the pictures show. Perfect for a couple, not ideal for kids.
Beautiful place to unwind and a great location if you want to explore the north side of the island.
We really enjoyed our short stay here. Very private. Nice small beach. We barely saw anyone else. The water was rough, as expected, but we still enjoyed getting in. The porch area was clutch for us as was the lovely breeze and sound of the ocean. Walking distance to the restaurant at petite Anse is a nice bonus. Strong cocktails and good food to be had there. Couple of words of advice. Get groceries before leaving the St George area. If you rent a car to drive I suggest the western route as it is gorgeous and far less harrowing than the eastern. This is an excellent location if the quiet side fits your vibe. Highly recommended.
A real pleasure to meet the caretaker, Miss Sonia. A true West Indian; gracious, hardworking, and kind.
Beautiful, natural getaway on the beautiful, rugged north side of Grenada. Sonia was attentive, John was very quick and easy to deal with, and Sonia also made a great roti at her shop in Sauteurs. Walking distance to good food at Petit Anse, and the sound of birds and waves in the mornings and evenings superb. The sand has eroded a bit at the end of the stairs leading to the the beach (this might be seasonal), so be aware there’s 50 feet or so of challenging footing on some rocks before you get to the sandy stretch of beach. Our family had a great stay, highly recommended.
We enjoyed our stay at Bleu Paradise very much. Sonya made check-in convenient. It’s a great location on a quiet road and the cottage is a great design – we particularly liked the plunge pool. The Petite Anse Hotel is a short walk away and is a great place for a drink or dinner.
This is a wonderful location and a beautiful home but it is a good idea to come prepared! The location is pretty remote which is generally a great thing. It’s near some excellent attractions, like Belmont Estate (must visit) and Levara Bay, and I would recommend staying in this part of the island for a real taste of Grenada. That does come with a few challenges – none of which have to be a problem, but come prepared. I’d suggest packing some food e.g. coffee, any convenience foods. There are small supermarkets in Sauteurs but the availability of food on the island in general is a bit limited and fairly expensive. Lots of great fruit and veg, only what is in season, but other items would be good to bring.
Driving from St George’s to Sauteurs is also something you have to get your head around. Other reviews suggested getting an SUV and this is a must. The main route was closed so we had to drive through the interior of the island if we wanted to get South and it was very steep and winding. Would suggest the most confident driver takes on the role! Also, this means it would be better to stock up on things you need in St George’s before you set off as it’s a long way back.
The house is right on the beach. The setting is beautiful and both that and the pool are amazing to have. The pool is even better than in the photos.
We were there with our nearly 2 year old. She had a wonderful time and, with an eye kept on her near the pool, was perfectly safe. If you are travelling with young children, I would suggest bringing as much of what they need as you can, as well as a travel cot.
Home was private and comfortable. Nice veranda and small pool. Definitely need a car to get around. Right next to Petite Anse where you can grab lunch or dinner. Great stay!
First, let me say; Great location! The view was amazing. The beach in front was a bit rough but you can still walk down and enjoy the view.
Not sure if my standards for “clean” are too much but this cottage could have been a lot cleaner.
The host communicated well up until we got there. Checking in went well. 1st day we told John the AC in the 2nd room wasn’t blowing cold. He said he would have some1 look at it. We never heard back about the AC until we were checking out. Luckily the AC from the living room kept that room somewhat cool/bearable.
The main room at 1st was lovely. The bathroom was dirty. Tiny dead insects all over the counter. The garbage was full from the last guests. The outdoor shower looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. There were some small bugs in the main room. We both ended up sleeping in the next room. I’m guessing bugs come inside from that outdoor shower.
Microwave or the outlet didn’t work. Petite Anse was walking distance so we ate there most of the time.
Messaged John bc we locked the keys in the house since the Maid Maria wasn’t answering her phone. None of them got back to us. To this day no response from him. Luckily we knew someone from the island who asked around for Maria until we found her and she gave us the spare.
This cottage was a last minute find since our original host canceled at the very last minute. All in all, it was ok. The view was the best part. I really wanted to give this more stars but i just couldn’t.
Dreamy place to stay. The beach the house the pool everything. I’m coming back!
Johns cottage was a very easy and relaxing place to stay. Loved throwing open the doors to the veranda for a big indoor/outdoor living space with easy access to the plunge pool. Sounds of the sea and wildlife was amazing, watching humming birds feed and star gazing while in the open roof shower is probably unique to Johns place. There are a couple of friendly local dogs and a cat if you like that kind of thing, they won’t hassle you unless invited.
Its a fairly basicly appointed kitchen here so no elaborate cooking. If you haven’t shopped already in St Georges then Grenville on the way up has a large Kalico supermarket which is good. Sauteurs has a smaller one and plenty of small grocery shops but limited choice of food. The local market is great fun, even has a butchery section…
Too rough to swim off beach at end of garden but you can walk to Sauteurs along it, 15/20 mins. A 5 min drive gets you to David/ Darvi Beach which is great, very pretty, swimable and with a small bar.
We have a very favourable opinion of John’s cottage:
• The cottages are well maintained by the landlord.
• The shrubs and bushes are trimmed and the grounds cleaned on a regular basis.
• The exteriors of the cottages have recently been freshly painted.
• The kitchen is well-equipped.
• The kitchen and bathroom taps appear to have been recently replaced as they are new.
• The view from the veranda of the Caribbean and the nearby islands is spectacular.
• The constant sound of the Caribbean waves is enthralling.
• We appreciated the proximity to the beach for daily walks.
• In addition to the stairs down to the beach, there is a very accessible public path to the beach about 200 yards down the road from the front entrance to the property.
• The location generally appears to be safe.
• Bathway Beach, a safe venue for swimming, is only a 20-minute drive away.
• Groceries readily available in Sauteurs (5 minutes by car).
• The Armadillo Restaurant & dining at the Petite Anse Hotel nearby.
What a special place to stay! We were so fortunate to have such a beautiful place to decompress after all our fun explorations. They view is stunning. The beds and pillows are comfortable. We stayed for 11 days and cooked a lot of meals. There’s everything you need to prepare a good meal, although you may need to grab some spices and cooking oils (I’d check before shopping). John left us some water, which was very thoughtful. The property itself is gorgeous, clean and well kept. The island isn’t that large so we felt very close to all the beaches and little spots we wanted to check out. Brewers Bay is right over the hill, a great spot for our toddler to swim. The bedroom has plenty of space to fit a standard size pack n play and the cottage is very safe. Lots of closet storage as well. Overall a very thought out home. John has been a great host. I’d definitely come back to stay!! P.S. You will want a good vehicle if you plan to do some island exploring. The roads are very steep and we found having 4 low as a huge asset, especially on the less frequented bays. However most roads are paved and very well help considering the elements. Thanks John, we hope to meet again!
John is a great host. Nice place and good location.
We loved staying at John’s for Christmas! There were lots of places to eat and grab some groceries in Cane Garden. It was a little hard to find, but the island doesn’t really have signs but there is a sign for this area so once we figured it out it was super easy! I would suggest, if you rent a car, to rent a four wheel drive SUV due to the inclines across the island and to get to this Airbnb. The place itself was very clean and had everything we needed for a week. Laundry was a huge plus to wash towels and beach gear! Overall what a lovely stay, would stay again for sure!
We spent just over two weeks at the cottage, working remotely during the week and traveling around Tortola and the BVI on the weekends. It was an amazing experience. The cottage is small but worked for the two of us. We cooked most of our meals in the kitchen, breakfasts, lunches and a handful of dinners. John provided some useful advice in advance on car rental, then once we arrived about inter island ferries and where to shop. He was a great host! There’s a shared laundry room which we used multiple times during our stay. It all worked out so well I want to go back!
Tortola is a beautiful island and Luther’s Cottage is a perfect place up on the hill. It’s between Cane Garden and Road Town. John was always there to assist. I locked my keys in the house and he was there in 10 mins to let us in. He had great suggestions where to eat and things to do. He can give you info on a car rental as well. The view and sunsets are beautiful from the cottage! It’s very homey. We would stay again! Thank you for everything John!
Great accommodation, conveniently located which meant any location on the island was just a short drive. The house is well furnished with an amazing view from the balcony – Better than any ‘look out point’ we came across on the island. Cane Garden Bay with it’s many bars and restaurants is just a 2 minute drive down the hill.
What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?
