About this property

Bright, Breezy Condo on the Palmy Shore

This two-bed, two bath condo stands in a spacious, breezy five acre communal garden that leads right onto the ocean shore where the surf crashes and dawn breaks. You look down from the spacious balcony onto the nearby communal pool and out through palms and casuarinas trees to the sea. There is a large balcony where birds come to be fed and you can relax and read after swimming, golf or exploring. The centre of the garden has shady sitting areas and a barbecue where you can grill the catch of the day - or carry your coffee fifty yards to the gazebo overlooking the wide, wild, romantic beach.

The development is tranquil and, being over thirty years old, enjoys mature gardens and much more space than is often the case with newer properties. Our particular condo still has the original bathrooms and some other fittings, so it's not a luxurious or state of the art environment, but everything works and there is a conscientious maintenance team who attend promptly to fix any issues. The aircon units, TV (with Netflix), fridge and stove are all recently installed however, and there is a good wifi network.
Neighboring condos do not overlook you, but the inhabitants are friendly! The grounds are well maintained and there is an excellent, conscientious management team (office hours) to look after you. Laundry facilities are on site, are communal and coin-operated.

The condo itself consists of two double bedrooms with A/C and ceiling fan - though from Dec-March the sea breeze is often enough to keep you comfortable at night. Each bedroom has an en suite bathroom with bath, shower and loo, with vanity units in the bedrooms. The living space is over 30 feet long with dining area and sitting area separated by a kitchen with breakfast bar. That wonderful sun streams in every morning and the kingbirds twitter from the highest boughs, where monkeys sometimes chatter and hide.

Very nice well-equipped apartment
We really enjoyed our stay at Island Paradise. The apartment was very good and in a great location. It is right on the atlantic coast - and the strong breeze from the sea meant the apartment never got too hot. The atlantic is a bit rough for swimming but the nearby Caribbean beach was lovely (3 minute drive, maybe 10 to 15 to walk - and dead flat/ with verges to walk on))and the pool was just the thing after a hard day at the beach/exploring the island, It certainly wasn't too cold! As the advert recognises the appafitment fittings are functional but a bit dated in style. Our only issue was with the resort staff. The day before we left one of them came round to ask what time we would be leaving. We said we would leave by the time given in the details as we didn't want to check out too early as our flight wasn't until 6pm. We agreed to strip the beds in advance of our leaving. We were very surprised when someone came round at 8am the next morning expecting us to hand over the bedding then when we had only just got up! We hope very much to return to St Kitts before too long and we would certainly stay here again.

In Need of Modernisation
We have stayed in many villas and apartments that we have selected through Homeaway and this one, without a doubt, is the most disappointing. However, there are positive aspects to the apartment. The apartment is a good size and has a large veranda at the front of it. The complex is very quiet at night. The air conditioning and ceiling fans work efficiently. It is also very close to the amenities of Frigate Bay. We found the people staying on the resort very friendly and helpful. We considered that the interior of the apartment had a general air of neglect and is desperately in need of modernisation. The bathrooms and bedrooms are the worst. There the wallpaper and wallpaper borders are coming away from the walls; the enamel on the baths is very badly marked and stained as they are so old; the shower curtain is torn and the design on it has practically worn away; the toilet seats are chipped and stained; the toilet brushes are housed in an old yoghurt pots; the shower heads are full of lime scale and don’t function properly. In the bedrooms, the sheets were grubby, mismatching and old and most of the furniture was old and broken; some of the furniture was encrusted with dust. In the living room there are torn curtains, lampshades that are very rusty because of the salt in the air, and the kitchen cupboards are chipped and need realigning. The cables behind the television are an accident waiting to happen. I also considered that there were far too many of the owner’s belongings in the apartment. Rather than lock them all away in one cupboard, they were all over the apartment. The day after our arrival I contacted the owner by e-mail about the above. She replied that she was sorry we were dissatisfied with the apartment, but she was new to renting out her apartment. I found this very strange, as it says quite clearly on Homeaway that the owner has advertised with them since 2009. We enjoyed our holiday in St. Kitts, but we wouldn’t recommend this apartment because of the state of the interior.

Well appointed Condo on a quiet property.
Our group very much enjoyed the well appointed and decorated condo. You can tell that Sue cares about her unit and is trying to provide whatever you might need for your vacation. I appreciated the pretty curtains instead of the old, broken plastic blinds that are so common at Island Paradise. The grounds and gardens were in great shape considering they aren't allowed to water due to the current drought. The pool was also in great shape and a nice place to relax on a hot afternoon. We appreciated having an Indian, Thai, Sushi and a new Lebanese restaurant all within a 5 minute walk of the condo! We would highly recommend this property for your next vacation.

The perfect place for my stay
This condo was the perfect "home base" for everything I wanted to do in St. Kitts. It has excellent proximity to beaches, shopping, and restaurants. The condo unit is well managed, and had everything I needed. I cooked for myself, and found the kitchen well stocked with cookware and implements. Communication from both the owner and the on-site manager were excellent. The unit was clean and pleasant. I was very comfortable and enjoyed my time there.

Great Location
Sue was very helpful answering any questions I had and the on-site rep, Jackie, was very responsive. The location of the condo is the best! Close to the ocean and steps away from the pool. Close to restaurants, coffee shop, grocery store and liquor store. My concerns are with the description of the condo, as I feel it was somewhat misleading and not as informative as it should have been. After talking with other owners of the condos, I was informed they were built in the early 80's...over 35 years old! Almost everything in this condo is original: floors, cabinets, countertops, bathrooms. The wallpaper border is pulling away from the wall, the cabinet doors don't stay closed and there is a large crack in the tile floor running almost the full length of the condo. The description on VRBO was not adequate to make an informed decision. We were able to see another condo in the development that is also available to rent and has been completely renovated. The price to rent the renovated condo is comparable to this one. We will come back to St. Kitts, but we will not stay here.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with St Kitts because it's a wonderful, atmospheric, old-fashioned island where you can enjoy traditional Caribbean lifestyle in tranquil surroundings while the waves crash and the clouds sail majestically across the lush mountain tops. Education is valued here, and there are many historic sites to explore as well as fabulous beaches. The island's careful development plan has ensured that the integrity of the main part of the island has been unsullied by inappropriate building, and at the island's heart is a mountain range covered with rainforest.

What makes this property unique

The garden at Island Paradise is a huge plus - five acres of mature trees and flowers right on the ocean's shore. The friendly and helpful office staff always make sure we are comfortable. And the condo itself, all on one level, with two en-suite bathrooms and right next to the pool, is incredibly convenient. Our huge terrace is a great place to chill out. PJ's Italian restaurant is just a step away and right next to Island Paradise we have a mini supermarket, wine shop and internet cafe. Walking along the Atlantic beach (at the bottom of the garden) is always a thrill, and the Caribbean beach is only a ten minute stroll away. And if you like golf, well... we're almost on the green! There's a cab rank outside the property so you don't even need to rent a car. But if you do want that independence, we recommend Bullseye Auto Rental - service that second to none and with a really personal touch.
