About this property

For people who love to be at Princess Margaret Beach

The apartment can be rented as either one bedroom or two bedrooms. See rates. One queen size bed and 2 twin beds that, on request, could be made up together as king. Both bedrooms are the same size with the same bath facilities. One bedroom rental includes both shower rooms - his and hers!

A Shade of Blues is a Caribbean style villa on the hillside above Princess Margaret beach in Bequia, an island in The Grenadines. Note - on a hill. Please be prepared for steps to improve your fitness.

The Apartment sits privately at the top of the building with its own balcony. Each bedroom / bath area is the same size. The eat-in kitchen is nicely equipped for holiday living with your own bbq outside.

The rooms were designed for open-air living with wide louvred folding doors opening to the balcony and the stunning view of Princess Margaret beach and anchorage below. Rooms have cathedral style ceilings with ceiling fans in all areas - including the balcony - and (limited) air conditioning in the bedrooms.

A shared pool is perfect for cooling off during the you will really enjoy swimming at Princess Margaret, which you can walk to / from in your bathing suits. At early morning or sunset periods you can be the only person in the water... The waters are crystal clear and sometimes a turtle swims offshore.

The apartment faces west - great for enjoying a sundowner and the often magnificent sunsets. Can enjoy Cocktails at Jack's Bar just below us. Jack's is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and will also deliver a takeaway - easy eating!

You have the option, at additional cost, of more housekeeping services.

There is a beautiful cliff-side Trail from Princess Margaret into The Harbour or over to Lower Bay, so can walk most everywhere. Vehicle hire not really necessary.

About Bequia: To find out more about this unspoilt, beautiful island, try google It's all there...
Visit Bequia This Week and Bequia What's On online to get a flavour of nightlife. Expect more music and dancing during the winter season.

Bequia is less expensive than Barbados. There are inexpensive places to eat out.

There is no need to hire a vehicle, unless you do not like to walk. The island is small, and safe for walking. Taxis are fun and inexpensive - either a boat or a traditional back of a pick-up truck. There are also air conditioned vans. Very cheap dollar (EC$) buses run the main route from harbour to airport-side (but not to the airport).

About travel to Bequia: Please feel free to email with any questions. Bequia remains special largely because it requires more effort to get there. As most tourists choose to return, most find it well worth it!

Money: The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar ($EC). This is tied to the US dollar at 2.67. Local currency is easily obtained from the two holes in the wall / automatic tellers in the harbour - remember to tell your bank that you are travelling to St Vincent & The Grenadines before you leave home.

US dollars are always well received.

Almost all restaurants and shops take credit cards.

Idyllic
Our family of 4 stayed in the upper apartment, which allowed for privacy and a magnificent view overlooking Princess Margaret Bay, a short walk down the hill. The infinity pool and adjoining sun deck were perfect after a day at the beach. Monica and David were excellent hosts, hooking us up with Julian the taxi driver who was timely and available for us our entire stay on the island. We would definitely recommend this beautifully decorated in blue whale motif guest house.

Great Place
This property was in an ideal location, just above and overlooking Princess Margaret Beach. We were able to walk to grocery stores and some great restaurants! A Shade of Blues was a quiet location with just the waves putting you to sleep. Monica was always quick to respond to our needs. I would highly recommend this beautiful property. Hope to return!

About the host

Hosted by Monica Harper

Host profile image
Originally from Cornwall and Birmingham. Have lived for many years in the USA, primarily Florida. Loved the Caribbean islands as soon as we discovered them and have visited many.

Decided to build an active retirement home in the Caribbean in 2003.

Why they chose this property

Bequia was our choice because of the friendliness of the local people - and the absolutely beautiful Princess Margaret Beach, perfect for swimmers.

We had to be At The Beach.

What makes this property unique

For us, the ability to go for a swim in the warm Caribbean Sea at Princess Margaret, one of the World's most beautiful beaches, whenever you feel the urge, without the need for transport or long walks was so very, very special.

And we love the views - bring binoculars if you like watching people on boats!
