Loved everything about it
We loved our stay, perfect set up for a couples vacation. Would highly recommend contacting Colin, he is the local police man but also can be available to hire as a tour guide and taxi service +17585199438. Friendly guy knows all the locals best places to go and can arrange anything for might need. Hosts were wonderful gave us privacy and were welcoming and available to assist. We would definitely stay there again if we revisit. Enjoy your holiday

Oasis on main road. Non tourist area.
Great to have a plunge pool and loungers. There was no hammock as per photos.

Island experience was indeed a lovely experience
The property was very nice and lush. Fruit trees and coconut trees all around. I love the little dipping pool to cool off while sitting on the back deck. Our hosts have always been responsive and we stayed at another of their properties before. That's why we came back to try them again. Will likely be back again

A nice oasis just outside of town
The apartment was larger and more expansive than intended. The living room and kitchen had plenty of room to lounge but we didn't spend much time in the apartment with how great the backyard is! Hammock, pool, tables and privacy-just what we needed to end our vacation. Heather is very responsive to messages/questions and it was an easy stay.

Wonderful stay with a great backyard!
The owners of this property were extremely responsive, both before our visit and during when anything came up. When there was an issue with one of the appliances, they quickly replaced it. We even had an issue with our rental car, and they offered to help with it just because they are kind people! The place itself is very spacious, with a lot of room to cook and lounge. The kitchen has a good selection of appliances, including a toaster, microwave and drip coffee machine. The bed is very comfortable and the shower was always hot with good water pressure. The backyard is the highlight though - It gets a lot of sun during the day and so it was wonderful to eat out there or lounge in the pool during the day. Just a small note about the wifi in the area (not particular to this house). The speed slows down when people come back from work, so after 6PM or certain times on the weekends. We were working from the house during the work week and were able to have 2 people on Zoom calls just fine, but not after 6pm. Again, this is not about this particular stay, it's about the overall internet in the area. I highly recommend staying here!

A great experience, overall
Wonderful host family. Very responsive to every need and request. Access to accommodation was very difficult. Not recommended for anyone with mobility issues.

The location is on a main road through the town but the residence is tucked away to give you a quiet and private experience. The unit itself could use some furniture updating and I also think things could’ve been cleaner throughout the unit. But the host was great at responding to our needs and answering questions. We enjoyed our stay!

Great Experience
We had a great experience and enjoyed our time at The Island Experience. Heather and her husband were amazing, very sweet, kind and were available anytime we reached out. The entire place was cozy, clean and the patio was amazing. The views of the fruit trees were beautiful. The pool was definitely a plus. It was just what we needed. It was very relaxing. I definitely recommend for anyone to stay here.

Wonderful hosts and home.
The deck makes this place. But our hosts were lovely, very thoughtful, and went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. Even helping us track down local contacts to get dinner and coordinating our COVID test to get home. Would stay with them again!

Above Expectations
This review is personal to me. I normally do not even bother to write reviews however I felt it necessary to write about this fantastic place. I stayed in the Samo villa and it was amazing!!!! It is everything that you expected it to be and then some. I walked in and the house was clean, it smelled of citrus and the view of the pool was just amazing. It is your very own oasis. I traveled alone but Ms. Heather connected me to the people and places that I needed to make my trip perfect. I was able to interact with Ms. Heather for as little or as much as I wanted. Additionally, there are services such as a private dinner and in home massages that can be added to your trip. I highly recommend you fit it into your budget because it takes your trip to another level. The location is close to Soufriere and the airport so you will be able to transit easily. I am grateful to have had THE ISLAND EXPERIENCE. Ms. Heather and her husband are good people and I want her place to be booked out but only for the times when I am not visiting. You will be blessed to be in this home away from home.
