“Perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011

I had been to St Kitts previously so knew how beautiful it is, but also how expensive it can be! Luckily, we found Mule House on their Holiday Rentals page, which, while not budget in quality (or price if you’re used to travelling in Asia or Africa) is much more reasonable than the majority of other places on the island. The well-equipped kitchen also meant we could eat in some nights, saving our money for cocktails, diving and Caribelle Batik goodies.

I would highly recommend getting a car – there are little local minibuses, but they’re irregular and don’t serve the beaches/ tourist areas. Although MH is off the beaten tourist track, the size of St Kitts means that it’s a 10/15 minute drive to the capital, Basseterre and a 15-20 minute drive to Frigate Bay, the main restaurant/ bar area. The best beaches can be reached in about half an hour, (if your rental car can handle the appalling roads to the south-east peninsular, that is).

The views from MH down to the sea and up to the mountains are incredible, especially at dusk, and bring a bit of splendour to a sundowner on the balcony. The apartment (two bedrooms, bathroom, lounge/ dining and kitchen area are all good-sized rooms – two couples could easily share – and immaculate. Sue (MH’s owner) had left us some staples: fruit, rum and mixers for our arrival, and Ray (Sue’s husband) found us some coconuts from the garden for our run throughout our stay.

We really enjoyed Brimstone Hill, driving in to the rain forest, and diving and snorkelling in the beautiful clear water. St Kitts isn’t a place for high action, but is incredibly beautiful, and if you’re looking for a few weeks of blessed-out relaxation I would highly recommend it.

Room Tip: All the apartments have beautiful views, but two have access to the balcony - probably a bonus.

“A Trip To Paradise.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011

My stay at Mule House was like being on Paradise Island in itself. With a breath taking scenery, tropical flowers and plants that offers a colorful array of sheer beauty and serenity, authentic aromas of a tropical forest, many varieties of fruit trees, lush vegetation and sounds of birds and other wild life found on the island, in my opinion, is the closest place to 'The Garden of Eden'. The acommodation is clean, fully equipped with all the modern necessities and is self sustaining. There is a sense of history felt there. If you want peace and beauty, Mule house is the place to visit.

Room Tip: All the rooms are equally comfortable.

“Mule House is Beautiful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

I have stayed at mule house several times over the past ten years and I must say I would not
stay at any other place when I visit the beautiful island of St Kitts.
The apartments are clean and very well maintained and the hosts Ray and Sue are very friendly and helpful and can tell you anything you need to about the island.
The gardens are large and kept in gorgouse condition and the view from the balcony overlooking the sea cant be beaten. There is also a gloreouse view behind the property to the majestic liamega mountain.
It helps to hire a car to get around the island but there are regular mini buses and taxis to get to and from the town and around the island.
The apartments are fresh and clean and roomy and the linens and towels are changed regularly and there are washing facilities for laundry to be done.
Fresh frut from the gardens are available and a few staple provisions are provided when you arrive until you can get to the shops. These are great selfcatering apartments.
A warm welcome awaits you when you visit, Ray and Sue are perfect hosts. I thoroughly recommend the Mule House as the place to stay.

Room Tip: any of the rooms are good

“Great place, great hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

This is among the most pleasant, clean, and airy apartments/self-catering units we have stayed at in the Caribbean. The two bedroom apartment had a veranda overlooking the well tended grounds with the ocean in the distance. The kitchenette and all utensils were immaculate. The bath towels were changed frequently and there were ample clothes hangers (which is not always so at other places we've stayed). There is a washing machine available and clothes lines with plenty of pegs.

When we arrived there was a bowl of bananas and a papaya on the table and a bottle of fresh coconut water in the fridge.

Sue and Ray are great hosts. Sue will pick up essential groceries for you before your arrival. She meets all first time visitors at the airport. Ray refilled our coconut water.

A car is a definite asset for touring the island but one could use the mini-buses to get to and from Basseterre.
