Spectacular Rental Villa With Panoramic Sea & Sunset Views
The House Within easy reach of Bequia's villagey capital Port Elizabeth and it's many bars & restaurants, The Spice House is set on the hillside above the golden beaches of Princess Margeret's and Plantation.
Tucked into the hillside with exceptional panoramic views across the harbour, The Spice House is a newly built 3 bedroom villa with a 30 foot infinity pool. Full width folding mahogany doors open onto a covered veranda to reveal magnificent views of the yachts anchored below.
Set within an acre of lush tropical gardens, there are mango & lime trees above the house and cinnamon and cedar below, attracting a wonderful variety of the island's local wildlife including hummingbirds, geckos and wild tortoise.
The main living area has a soaring 28 foot ceiling, full width folding doors - perfect for catching the hillside breezes - and a generous & comfortable seating area with a large Italian leather reclining sofa. The covered veranda runs the whole width of the house providing a shady platform from which to observe the comings and goings within the harbour below. Natural coral stone paving around the pool creates a non-slip deck where cushioned loungers and shaded corner seating provide an utterly private & restful sun bathing haven.
Bedrooms All bedrooms have dual aspect full height double opening doors with ocean views and tall 'tea-tray' ceilings, & all are equipped with air-conditioning & ceiling fans. The master bedroom boasts a super-King sized four poster bed has a generous en-suite shower room with double basin and large shower. Guest bedroom 1 has extra long twin beds that can be converted into a super comfortable 6 foot double. The fully equipped shower room is just across the hallway. Guest bedroom 2 has a queen sized four poster bed & en-suite shower room.
LOCATION - Bequia, St Vincent & the Grenadines Bequia lies 9 miles to the South of St Vincent & is the largest of the Grenadine chain. It has a small airport and so is easily accessible with same day connections from the major airports of Barbados & St Lucia as well as via Puerto Rico, Grenada, Martinique and Trinidad. While the Spice House is set high enough on the West Hills of the island to enjoy fantastic far-reaching views, it is only a 20 minute walk to the gentle bustle of the island's capital, Port Elizabeth. Specifically located within the exclusive & private Bequia Estate, the villa is far enough away from any neighbours to enjoy absolute privacy & peaceful seclusion while still not feeling isolated. The high volcanic peaks of St Vincent are visible in the far distance beyond the harbour to the North, & the coconut palms of Plantation House can be seen just before the Water's edge to the left of the harbour.
Looking After Our Guests The Spice House provides a maid service twice a week for a full house clean and change of bed linens. If you require a more frequent service please speak directly to our lovely housekeeper Aneka who will greet you on your arrival. Aneka will also prepare & cook evening meals for an additional charge. Again, you can arrange this directly with her. A basic welcome package of groceries will be stocked including bottled water, eggs, milk, butter, bread and bottles of the local Hairoun beer. The kitchen is fully equipped & stocked with many basics, such as salt & pepper, cooking oils and some staples such as pasta and rice. Because this is our home as well as a rental villa there are many items left at the house which you are welcome to take advantage of.
We also like to welcome new guests with a complimentary basket of luxury skincare products and beach towels are provided for your use. There are two island phones available which will be fully charged & with a small pre-paid amount already provided. Top-ups are available at Digicell (Flow) on the main road in the harbour. If you require a car, which we do recommend to fully explore this bewitching little island, we can arrange a hire car for an additional US$50 per day. A local driving licence is required, which we can also arrange, and this costs US$50.
Getting Here As Bequia thankfully remains slightly off the Caribbean tourist radar & does not yet have an International airport, it is still relatively unchanged. Luckily it is easily accessible with a selection of options to choose from. International Flights Barbados' Grantley Adams Airport is the most popular gateway to St Vincent & the Grenadine Islands. Arrival times of international flights allow for swift onward connection to Bequia with various inter-island scheduled or charter flights. There is and alternative direct service via St Lucia or travel from Trinidad, Martinique, Puerto Rico or Grenada via the largest of the Grenadine Islands, St Vincent.
Inter-Island Flights International arrivals into Barbados usually arrive approximately one hour before the onward Bequia flight with a travel time of 50 minutes directly to Bequia (SVG Air). Alternatively, there are flights to St Vincent where one can catch a ferry to Bequia, although ferry times do not always allow same day travel (LIAT).
Ferry Service There are two companies that maintain a regular ferry service from St Vincent and Bequia: Admiralty Transport and the Bequia Express. Ferries depart the Kingstown ferry terminal on St Vincent at varying times throughout the day - times are available on their websites, but do note these times are liable to change. Please do check all services before travel

We had a wonderful 3 days at this lovely home. The pool and yard are the standout. The view overlooking the harbour is outstanding. Everything you need to do your own cooking and grilling is there. Town is close by and taxis were readily available if you didn’t want to walk back up the hill. We were a group with 3 couples, but could definitely see bringing my parents or kids here for a longer stay. We hope to make it back!
Excellent stay. Property is amazing. Quiet place and very well maintained. Fernanda is amazing as a host. Her staff is also incredible. Amazing views. Highly recommend it.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review and thanks also for the new restaurant recommendations.
It’s always good to be reminded that there is a great choice of eateries on the island with new places opening up all the time.
I’m delighted that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again in Bequia soon
Bequia is a wonderful island and the Spice House is the perfect place to experience it. It is ideally located between the harbour and the beaches at Lower Bay and Princess Margaret. Aneka - the housekeeper is extremely helpful and keeps the home spotless. A car rental should be a consideration as the road to the Spice House is very steep and Gideon’s Taxi and Jeep Rentals is the best. Provision in Lower Bay is a must for lunch or dinner (cash only).
Our host Fernanda is an excellent communicator and answered any questions we may have had prior to and during our stay in a very timely and informative fashion.
We had the most wonderful month at the spice house - a very special holiday
From the moment we arrived and met Aneka to the day we left we couldn’t fault the property and the support Aneka gave us
It’s a superb property and a good location if privacy and quiet is what you are looking for
It is high up and has a steep road to the property but we walked down to beaches and town and got a taxi back - we didn’t hire a car and we didn’t feel we needed one but others may prefer to have the flexibility of a vehicle at the premises
The internal facilities were fantastic as was the pool sunloungers and bbq area
Aneka cooked for us on two occasions both of which were gorgeous
It was just such a homely place to be and so open plan light and airy with fabulous views
All in all it was pretty much perfect
We hope to return next year !!
