Does anyone know of any sites that have long term rental listings (price, photos, etc) in the Rodney Bay & Cap Estates area? My husband & I are moving there in May 08!

What exactly are you looking for ?

LittleTorchGirl

Thanks for the response Island Girl! 2 or 3 br and bath. Air conditioning throughout the place would be ideal. It doesn't matter if it's a house or an apartment, but we do have a 40 pound dog who will be coming with us. Would be nice to have a bit of a yard but if not that's OK too.

Sorry, meant to say "thanks for the reply pgtps".

LittleTorchGirl, check the house in Bonne Terre Gardens on my site, 5 min drive to Rodney Bay, but a big house and lot with plenty of room for dog to run around. http://www.rodneybay.net/Rodney%20Ba...%20Estate.html. You will need a jeep as this one is very private, but great sea view and high quality accomodation at a fantastic price for what you get.

I also have access to a 2 bed apartment and 3 Bed apartment directly opposite Rodney Bay marina, which form the ground floor of an executive house, again with plenty of yard space for dog (though there is one already, but seems friendly enough).

I know of a two bed apartment in Marigot Bay that I am sure the owners wont mind you having a dog in as they have some themselves, they are just putting a website together so I can send the link soon,however if you want further details please personal message me and I will send over photos and details.

Can any one help , we would be looking to rent long term and possibly buy something, land or house. We currently live in Jersey, quite active lots of sports. How much would we pay to rent average place , how much does food cost, eating out occaisonaly. Steve R

Hi there
I moved to St Lucia about 9 months ago and love the lifestyle, the island and the people are so friendly. Its great!

Eating out in touristy places is slightly cheaper than the UK depending on where you go, but there are some great local eateries which have lovely food and are very cheap in comparison.

Renting depends on where you decide to stay, in Rodney Bay and Cap Estate the prices are a lot higher than some of the surrounding areas.

If you are planning a trip over sometime look me up and I can give you a helping hand. I can also put you in touch with someone in Real Estate who could advise you.

Got all that not sure what EC stands for , presumably all of those figures are per month , including the last one. Steve

redbreast - EC stands for East Caribbean Dollar - which is the local currency. Check out the exchange rates on http://www.xe.com/ucc. I think at the moment the UK pound is about 5 to 1EC$.

Redbreast - EC stands for East Caribbean Dollar. it's the local currency used here (it's also used by other Caribbean islands as well). I think the current exchange rate between the UK pound and the EC$ is about 5 to 1.
