The Location

Flip-Flops is a self catering holiday let located on the Main Highway, just outside the village of Laborie on the Caribbean island of St Lucia. The apartment is only a short 15 minute drive from the international airport, Hewannorra.

Self Catering Accommodation St Lucia

The apartment offers accommodation just across the road from the Caribbean, and is well located to explore the south of St Lucia. There are small shops in the village, where there are a variety of places to eat.

Many of our guests walk along the road to the village, to Rudi John or Laborie Beach. Further afield are the beaches attached to the resorts or places such as Piaye. There are no private beaches on the island, but some are easier to access than others because we are on the slopes of extinct volcanoes.

You will pass supermarkets on the way from the airport, in Vieux Fort, and La Tourney (Massy is the chain across the island, but there are smaller facilities). Further along the Main Highway, there is another Massy Supermarket as well as other smaller facilities.

Travel to the north of the island can be done by road, small boat or helicopter.

Flip-Flops Holiday Apartment Reviews

  • Ellie and Tim’s place is absolutely incredible! They were the most gracious hosts from welcome drinks talking about our travels to arranging dinner reservations and massages at the apartment. The south side of the island is much quieter, especially in the offseason, and they were able to get us reservations at places where we were the only table. They have made a lot of great friends and you can tell the Laborie community is small and tight-knit. The apartment itself had everything we needed including plenty of towels, pillow style options, tv with streaming, and a gorgeous garden and pool. Close driving distance to the airport, Sugar Beach, Soufriere, and the Pitons. We felt right at home and would absolutely stay here again!

  • Sapphire House felt like a home away from home. I’m a solo female traveler and wanted a more peaceful and authentic experience so this place was perfect. With Ellie and Tim’s hospitality and knowledge of the area, I felt safe yet able to experience the local culture, cuisine and village. It was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had and highly recommend booking with them! It was easy to book tours based on their recommendations as well as explore the local village during the day. The apartment was perfect for everything I needed and the terrace with the pool overlooking the ocean was incredible!

  • We had an amazing stay at Ellie and Tim’s beautiful home. They were both so welcoming and helpful with recommendations. There’s a beautiful view and a short walk to the beach and the village of Laborie. There were a lot of options within walking distance. We rented a car and the parking was private and easy. We felt safe and comfortable. Will be back to visit again!

  • Ellie and Tim are wonderful people and hosts. It felt like staying with family. They are both so sweet and helpful and made our stay just perfect. Everything was clean and well maintained. Thier dogs were sweeties and it was great to interact with them as well. The pool is so nice to hop in when you’re feeling hot and they provide plenty of towels. The bed was comfy – we slept like rocks every night. The kitchen had everything we needed and we cooked a few meals and breakfast. The whole place was spotless clean and very welcoming. Ellie showed us around when we arrived, which was greatly appreciated. We were so happy to get to know Ellie and Tim and feel like we have family in St Lucia now. I could not recommend this place enough. They will gladly help you with anything you need.
