Wow, Ocean Crest is a great place to stay. This was my wife and my first time to St Lucia and we were looking for a place where we could rest and relax. We could have went to Sandals, The Landings, or some other all inclusive resort but we wanted to near the local community and we found the perfect place. The villa is exactly like the pictures. The pool water is warm. The view is amazing. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and clean. The living area was comfortable. The cable TV was sufficient and the wifi was fast enough. We interacted with owner, Chris and his staff on several occasions and they were professional, helpful and always pleasant even when I used the grill. The location of the villa was essential. Its in Castries, not too far from Rodney Bay and not too far from Soufriere and not too far from Vieux Fort. After 3 days , we rented a car and travelled all over the island and did the tourist stuff such as visited the Pitons, the mud baths, the volcano, the banana plantation, rum distillery, went to Mass and booked three water excursions. We ate some of the best ox tails, goat meat, roti, plantains, rice and beans, lobsters and even some tasty KFC. We ate amazing food at the local places like Hardest Hard Cafe, the Triangle, Sylvia Place in the Castries Market and fancier places like Coal Pot, Matthew Rooftop, Spinnakers and Ritual Sushi in the Marina. We drank the best rum punch at the Friday Fish Fry Party, Sugar Beach, and Bamboozle. However The best part of the vacation was meeting the people of St Lucia. They are some of most warmest, kindest, friendliest people we have ever met. Especially Mr. Anthony, our outstanding taxi driver and new friend. We were meant to meet Anthony. He is an amazing person who operates a professional business with integrity, character and honesty. God only made one Anthony and we were glad to have a chance to spend time with him. We admire him and we learned so much about his life which explain why he really looked out for his customers like family. When we come back next year, we will hire Anthony again. If you are planning to stay at the villa, hire Mr. Anthony for a few days, even if you rent a car. You will not regret it. We did so much to make our vacation in paradise successful that we cannot describe it all. It all started off by us choosing Ocean Crest Villa as the place to stay and we were so glad we did. It was well worth the money!!
