Absolutely gorgeous property. There are not many places you can go and get the view you get here. The house itself is very special - the pictures almost do not do it justice. The host is very responsive, and his staff is incredibly helpful in assisting you during your time on Saba. We ran into a snag with our departing flight, and Mark did everything in his power to assist us in getting home.Highly recommend staying here!

We stayed at Spyglass Villa on the island of Saba from April 15–18, 2026, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Without question, the 180-degree views are the best on the island—absolutely breathtaking from every angle.Our group of six family members had more than enough space, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The bedding was exceptional—honestly better than what you find in many five-star hotels. We slept with the windows open each night, enjoying the cool island breezes, and had some of the best rest we’ve had in a long time.The kitchen is spacious and thoughtfully equipped, making it perfect for multiple people cooking together. Every utensil we needed was there—nothing was lacking. The bathrooms are beautifully updated, clean, and well-designed.The grounds are just as impressive as the home itself. We loved wandering around and taking in the scenery… and the views—truly incredible. The provided binoculars were a nice touch for birdwatching, and there were plenty of games available for evenings in. We especially enjoyed playing Telestrations—lots of laughs.WiFi was strong and reliable throughout our stay, which was helpful. Transportation was easy as well—our cab driver, Coochie, was always available when we needed him.One of the standout aspects of our stay was the host’s kindness and flexibility. They graciously allowed us a late checkout to accommodate our diving schedule, which made a big difference.Our favorite VRBO so far!

World Class experience

The villa is even more beautiful than the pictures. The views and gardens are even more vibrant and incredible than we expected. We were amazed at the incredible construction and attention to detail in the house. The building itself looks like much of the wood work and interior is custom built and individually crafted. All appliances and appointments are top notch. The atmosphere is so peaceful. Overall the villa is airy, spacious, bright and with views into the infinity of the Caribbean.

Magic

The house is perfect—so peaceful with stunning views from the entire property. It was like a warm bath for my soul. Saba is beautiful but not for the faint of heart. The hike up the mountain is so worth it but bring a hiking stick—when they say 1,000 trail stairs that’s real and most stairs start at your shins. I rented a car but if you don’t have a decent sense of direction and nerves of steel don’t bother. The road is well maintained but there are NO signs and the road is crazy steep with hairpin turns. Everyone is super nice and helpful. The grocery stores have minimal offerings bring your own coffee if that’s your thing.I’d go back just to say at the house.

Wonderful home. Amazing location.

We absolutely loved our week at Spyglass! The home has the feel of a traditional Saba cottage, with some of the BEST views in the Caribbean. We love this small island. The hiking is amazing, the diving is world class, and we love the local food. The home is in a private location, very peaceful and quiet. We would definitely choose to stay here again. If you lead an active lifestyle and enjoy walking/hiking, you can easily walk to the main areas in the village of Windwardside where the local shops and restaurants are. We enjoyed the spectacular views of each sunrise and sunset with a good book in hand. We'll be back soon!

Very nice villa with some of the most spectacular views you’ll find anywhere in the world. Good hikers can walk into/from the village of Windwardside — be prepared for a steep hill on return. We were 4 adults, though 6 would be very comfortable. All conveniences are in the house. Mgmt: 1 sink awaiting repair parts; we never found the orientation book. We appreciated the mid-week cleaning service, but would like to be notified of that before they intrude on our privacy.

EVEN BETTER THAN WE HAD HOPED IT WOULD BE

We loved our stay this past week at Spyglass. I have NO complaints. We wound up just hanging out in the afternoons after our morning dives, the views from even laying in bed are amazing. I took so many pictures. Great work out walking back and forth to town. Make sure you use Peddy if you do need a taxi. One of the nicest guys I've ever met. Also highly recommend Jobean Glass Art, she is another beautiful person who is a pleasure to spend time with. Thank you for sharing your home with us, we will be back asap.

Stayed 10 lovely days at this incredible house!! People would come to the end of the drive, just for the view. (I gave a few tours lol) The house was one of the nicest we have ever stayed in! The kitchen had everything you needed to cook, we made most of our breakfast there and ate overlooking the beautiful Saba town. The Bedrooms were beautiful, no bugs while we were there, and slept with the windows open and felt very safe. I can’t say enough positive things about our lovely stay and the wonderful people of saba! Everyone was warm and welcoming. We were even offered a few rides home after dinner, when the uphills got a little tough after too much wine and dinner!! Thank You Barney and Mark for making this a vacated will always remember.

Absolute Perfection

Wake up to beautiful sunrises and also see the sun setting. Watched interesting weather systems form around us, going from sunny to being engulfed by clouds. Lots of activity watching boats! We adore the Spyglass. It is comfortable, clean, and has the best views on Saba. The walk to Windwardside is steep but burns off all of those yummy calories from the many restaurants. Hiking was so beautiful! We enjoyed watching the triathlon as well. The folks on Saba are so very kind and helpful. Thank You Barney and a big thanks to Jovi as well. He did a great job. The last month was so very nice:)

Lovely Views

This was a really great property in Saba Island. I love the ability to walk into town to eat at great restaurants and then get a little exercise walking back to the cottage. There is also a lovely bakery, where one can buy pastry in the morning. The cottage was beautifully decorated and well appointed to prepare meals at home as well. There are two beautiful bedrooms on the main level. The third sleeping space is listed as a bunk room, which is very accurate as it is not a bedroom but a small space below the cottage with a single mattress. Despite the small space, it does have a very nice attached full bathroom. We did some diving with Sea Saba, and also hiking on our own. Both great experiences. I would highly recommend Saba island and especially The Spyglass Cottage to future guests.

Saba is a magical place and the Spyglass has been our favorite place to stay. The 180 degree views of the sea are exceptional. Watching the boats coming and going is so interesting. The house is quiet and the breeze blowing over you at night is so relaxing. The open flow of the home makes it feel like living outside but with all of the indoor comforts. We never turned the TV on as Saba is full of so much to see and do. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back again soon.

Magnificent SpyGlass Villa with Stunning Ocean Views and Rainbows

My wife and I were fortunate to spend one month at Spyglass villa and our experience interacting with the Saban community was unlike anywhere else in our travels. Spending countless hours looking out at the ocean, sunsets and sunrises were never a dull moment. This is truly a special place to be on one’s bucket list. The frequent rainbows viewed from this cliff side porch at elevation 1250 ft were amazing. Barney has done a fantastic job landscaping his property with all kinds of fruit trees along with fresh lemons and limes to use for cooking or cocktails.. The kitchen is beautiful and fully equipped for making a special dinner. Wednesday is the day to shop for weekly groceries and fresh fish at Windwardside and the two grocery stores will deliver it and bring you back up to the villa. Barney’s support team (Mark, Jovi and Rodney) were all available throughout our stay. The Village of Windward side was a beautiful 15-20 minute steep walk down the “Road” where restaurants like Bubba Bistro, Tropics, Saba Snack and Briggadoons all have satisfying menus. One very special restaurant “Rendezvous” at The Eco-lodge is a must do with patio dining high up in the rain forest. There are about 10 taxi cabs available to call from the home phone. We called “Cero” Taxi #1 who was very dependable and friendly. Our daughters did work remotely from Spyglass via Wifi. Thank you Barney and we have already booked February 2023.

Magnificent

Throughout our time at Spyglass, we had to pinch ourselves to believe we were really there, witnessing such incredible views and charm. Everything was smooth and as expected. We were two and then in the last few days three people (one couple) and the house was just the right size for us. A few days before we arrived, Barney reached out about how to coordinate with Mark to arrange a taxi and pre-stocking with groceries. We took advantage of both services, which were great. The walk to Windwardside was easy and pleasant for us moderately fit folks, and by the end of our ten days we were even able to walk back to Spyglass (i.e., up the hill) with no pauses. The beds were comfy and everything was clean and fresh. We especially appreciated the many seating options outdoors, depending on whether we wanted to watch the sunrise or sunset, stargaze, or eat breakfast. It was incredibly hard to leave Spyglass and Saba more generally. Both are truly special and we look forward to our return.
