The cottage was in a great location and the caretaker was so friendly and helpful! The cottage is so close to the beach, we took advantage of water taxis to visit more secluded beaches. ##### Andrea D. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert S. 20 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place, right by the beach Nice 3 bedroom place, 100 feet to the best/only beach in Soufriere. A/C and WIFI worked well, and the host did a great job making sure we had everything we needed (she even bought some new toys for our baby). ##### Robert S. Stayed 11 nights in Jan 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Stephen B. 21 Mar 2025 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Location #### Poor Quality Accommodation in a Fairly Dilapidated Area Purple Cottage is a poorly maintained cottage, with big gaps in doors and windows, broken floor tiles and crumbling cement on the entance steps. The dryer never worked and the airer was broken. The cooker hob and shaving socket didn't work for a week until repaired. The lights and fan in the living room worked intermittently, apparently due to a faulty breaker. The king size bed was particularly uncomfortable. We could feel the springs. All this was reported to the manager, but responses were slow and occasionally non existant. Soufriere is a beautiful area with much to do. However the town is very poor and quite dilapidated. Several times we were hassled by beggars and did not feel safe, especially after dark. ##### Stephen B. Stayed 13 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Martha W. 3 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Location We loved being close to Hummingbird Beach, Sea Shells restaurant, and the main road. We appreciated the security lights, key pad at the gate, and electronic keypad at the door. There are plenty of outlets for recharging devices. We didn’t spend much time at the house; we were too busy exploring St. Lucia. This area has an incredible view of the Pitons, the volcano, and the Caribbean! The locals are helpful. Just be prepared for a few mosquitoes, some crowing roosters, and a less than cushy mattress. We definitely recommend the Purple Cottage - it felt a little more like home each day! ##### Martha W. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Emma P. 18 Dec 2024 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Beyond Disappointed Our experience at the Purple Cottage detracted from our trip to St. Lucia due to numerous issues compromising comfort and safety. Major gaps in doors and windows (that the host was aware of but could not fix) allowed heat, humidity, and mosquitos inside, making the home uncomfortable. Without functioning AC for the first two nights, the conditions were nearly unbearable. These gaps in the windows/doors also raised serious security concerns. The bathroom sink leaked persistently, causing water damage and mold. This caused the host-provided hairdryer to be soaked and unusable. Cleanliness was poor, with stained sheets, towels, and pillows that felt unhygienic. Communication with the host was slow, and issues like AC and the hairdryer were only partially resolved. Larger problems with security, insulation, and cleanliness remained unaddressed. Compared to similarly priced rentals in the area, this home fell far short, really hindering our time in Soufriere. ##### Emma P. Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine K., NJ 20 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Adventure This was our first trip to the island and we decided to stay in the south so we can explore the beaches, waterfalls, and pitons. This was a perfect location to stay. The house was a good fit for our family of 4 with 2 boys. We rented the car that was offered and it was waiting for us at the airport when we landed and got through immigration at midnight. The host communicated very well with us the whole time from booking through the time there and followed up after the stay was over. If you want to explore the southern part of the island and don’t want to pay to stay in a Lux resort because you will be out and about, this is a fantastic retnal. ##### Christine K.
