We have only good things to say about Sapphire House, and Jim Tennant (the owner) and George Lee (the manager). George met us at the airport, arranged a jeep rental for us through a private party (it was a left steering wheel Suzuki, which was easier for us to handle than a right-steering wheel car ), drove us to the house and carefully showed us where everything was, and he brought us a bottle of his AMAZING rum punch (to celebrate my birthday). We really appreciated the book that Jim put together about what to do and where to go in St. Lucia (he emailed us a pdf of the book long before our trip). We took his recommendations and he really never steered us wrong. The house is gorgeous, with a stunning view of the ocean, generous deck, well equipped kitchen, cute little swimming pool, and air-conditioned bedrooms upstairs, each with its own bathroom. It is clean and very well maintained. The house is a 3 minute walk to a nice little beach that was always empty when we were there. It is not on the resort part of the island, so when we went into the nearby village of Laborie we felt that we were experiencing real St. Lucian culture. If you rent this house, you should certainly rent a car or contract a driver (which George Lee will arrange for you), because there are only a few things to do within easy walking distance of the house and so many things to do and see that are farther away. If we returned to St Lucia, we would definitely return to Sapphire House.
