Personal Comments and Feelings
After living in the region for many years, I (with my architectural background) decided to design a home where all the benefits of Caribbean life can be enjoyed. The Sea, the Sun, and the Nature… at Black Pearl Estate you feel the presence of these three elements around you at all times. With this open-style Villa, you have breathtaking views of the Sea and neighboring islands. Almost every day, the Sun is shining and Nature is all around you. The house is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation with many flowers and fruit trees such as lime, mangoes, avocados, golden apples, guavas, coconuts, sugar canes, bananas, breadfruits, pawpaws, local plums and more. We also like to grow our own herbs and vegetables.
Staying in this environment gives you a real feeling of being away from everything, yet you are just 7 minutes´ drive from Rodney Bay.
We do recommend a vehicle and as we are on top of a hill, access will be more comfortable with a 4×4 or AWD vehicle.
We look forward to welcoming you!
Bruno & Sylvia
Customer Reviews
EXCELLENT Based on 96 reviews Posted on EllenVerified My friends and I had a lovely time at the Black Pearl Villa. The house was beautiful and luxurious and absolutely worth the price. Bruno and Sylvia were very warm and welcoming, and made sure we had a good time. I want to come back here for years to come! One reminder to guests: wear Bugspray! Thankfully Bruno provided some.Posted on DominicVerified Nous y avons passé deux semaines et nous étions un couple accompagné de deux amis. Nous avons adoré notre séjour. Il y avait tout le nécessaire pour bien commencer notre voyage en douceur.À notre arrivée comme à notre départ, nous avons fait affaire avec le chauffeur recommandé par Bruno (Egbert). Nous n’avons absolument pas regretté ce choix, puisqu’il a pu nous renseigner un peu sur le fonctionnement de l’île. Sans compter que nous sommes arrivés tard et que faire cette route sans la connaître n’aurait pas été la meilleure idée.Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis par Bruno, qui nous attendait avec un punch au rhum et des acras (petits fish cakes de morue). La piscine a été utilisée dès la première soirée.Nous gardons de merveilleux souvenirs de ce séjour, et la vue depuis notre balcon y a grandement contribué. C’est irréel de voir des bananiers, des manguiers, des figuiers et plusieurs autres arbres fruitiers à portée de main.Vivre avec les oiseaux dans la maisonPosted on ElaineVerified Bruno and Sylvia were so welcoming and helpful. The house was stunning and the view was amazing. Loved every minute of our stay and highly recommend. Also, we loved trying fruit right off their trees and hanging out with their dog Merlot!Posted on AcieVerified Lovely place in a great area of Rodney bay. It’s easy to get to the marina/beach of Rodney bay and the strip is about a 10 minute drive. Friendly and welcoming host that greeted us with delicious fish cakes and rum punch. I enjoyed the view and the pool was very nice. They were helpful with any questions and I would recommend this stay to others to explore Saint Lucia for first timers!Posted on DustinVerified Bruno and Sylvia was excellent and extremely helpful throughout the whole stay. We all had a great time and look forward to a trip back.Posted on JessicaVerified My husband, daughter and I stayed over new years at the Villa and Treehouse. We loved our stay at Black Pearl. Bruno and Sylvia were incredibly helpful and welcoming hosts, and it was great to have them so close when we needed anything. The space is open and breezy and the views from the hill were fantastic. The kitchen is well equipped and the water pressure and hot water were great. There are lots of separate spaces in the house so it would fit a large group well, but was great for a small group too. Everything was perfectly clean when we arrived. We appreciated the creative vibe of the decor. We saw the fireworks all over the island at midnight. We rented a car which was very helpful in getting around the island as you are not in a spot where you can walk to town. Rodney bay was a good spot with lots of restaurants and beaches. We would return and bring friends!Posted on ShannonVerified The Black PearlThe name of this estate sparks intrigue and spiciness. In a tropical orchard, high in the hills overlooking Rodney Bay, lies an oasis that can accommodate large groups of people. This well thought out property begs its occupants to host a lime (get together) with ample space for everyone to enjoy a shared meal or pool time. The hosts, Syvia and Bruno, begin your adventure with rum punch and house made fish cakes, a delicious welcome after travel. True to its tropical climate, warm days are interrupted by cool breezes and short tropical rains. The villa holds spaces that allow for quiet time away from everyone. Our time spent here was relaxing, enjoyable and easy. Barely 10 minutes away from Rodney Bay, this villa is situated in a developing area of Gros Islet with wide, freshly paved roads. Look no further, this is the place for you.Posted on DesireeVerified We could not have chosen a better home for our family vacation! Stunning views, great pool, and incredible communication from Bruno &Sylvia. Thank you for sharing your home with us!Posted on KindaVerified Our hoist Bruno and Sylvia were absolutely amazingPosted on BruceVerified Bruno was the best host I’ve had thus far (staying at Airbnb for 7 years now). The first evening they provided us with a local staple rum and punch also provided a virgin option. Night one we had an issue late at night and he was more than willing to quickly resolve it. Very responsive and gave us some great recommendations for what to do on the island
