Wild Orchid

Overview

Wild Orchid is situated at one of the northern most points of St. Lucia and provides spectacular panoramic views of the northwest Coast, the historic National Park of Pigeon Island, the beautiful French island of Martinique, and the majestic Mount Gimie. At Wild Orchid you can hear the ocean and see everything from cruise ships to the local fishing boats sailing the coastal waters. Sunset and night time views at this villa are a magnificent experience; the south coast becomes aglow and Martinique shimmers in the Atlantic Ocean.

This unique villa was built to capture St. Lucia’s famous trade winds; the house is very open and utilizes numerous architectural elements of traditional Caribbean villas. Air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and traditional netting are in each of the three over-sized, open bedrooms.

The first floor has two bedrooms, both of which have Caribbean Sea and pool views. The end bedroom has a king bed (can be separated into two twins if desired) and a trundle daybed that sleeps two. The second bedroom also has a king bed (can be separated into two twins). Each bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with a shower.

The master bedroom encompasses the entire second floor. The master suite is beautifully furnished and features a king-size bed. It also has a unique shower room overlooking the mountains. There are two balconies; the southern one has a wonderful view of St. Lucia’s southwestern coast and beaches; the northern balcony provides a beautiful view of the ocean and island of Martinique.

A covered veranda runs the entire length of the house, and includes a welcoming seating area and an outdoor dining area. The extra-large, heated swimming pool is encircled by a tiled deck, and is well-equipped with dining table, loungers and umbrellas inviting you to enjoy lazy days in the sun... or shade... under the flower-trimmed trellis.

Inside, you will find a spacious great room with vaulted ceilings (the beams were obtained from St. Lucia Forestry), a big-screen TV, cable television and DVD and stereo. Adjacent to this is a formal dining room. A large, modern, fully-equipped kitchen complete with an outside, covered barbeque patio invites you to enjoy a variety of dining experiences.

Wild Orchid is fully landscaped, and contains mature gardens with a wide variety of tropical plants and flowers. As a result of this, it has become a haven for many species of butterflies and wild birds; they will delight you with their colors, songs, bathing activities and energy. The gardener/groundskeeper is very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and would be most happy to familiarize you with the tropical plants and birds.

Wild Orchid also offers a fully-equipped, two-bedroom apartment with a separate side entrance, available only when renting the main house. Each bedroom has a king bed (two twins on a platform frame). One has a view of the Caribbean Sea and pool and the second has a stunning garden view. They both share a bathroom featuring double sinks. The bedrooms and living area are air-conditioned. The kitchen and living area overlook a trellis covered terrace opening up to the beautiful gardens, perfect for relaxing with your morning coffee or favorite afternoon beverage!
