The space
Surrounded by lush nature and the vibrant rhythm of the island, The Pink House invites you to experience Bequia at its best. Just a short stroll from the ferry, some of the Caribbean’s most beautiful beaches, and vibrant local dining spots, this retreat offers ocean views, lush gardens, and a true taste of island life.
With two thoughtfully designed private apartments—the Ocean View Apartment and the Garden Apartment—you can choose the space that suits your stay or rent the entire house to accommodate up to 8 guests. Perfect for families, couples, or groups of friends, The Pink House blends modern comfort with local Caribbean charm.
⛵️The Upper 'Ocean View' Apartment: Where Island Views Meet Comfort 🌊
Wake up to sweeping Caribbean Sea views in this bright, breezy retreat designed for up to four guests (with space for a fifth on the cozy daybed). The open-plan living area invites you to unwind with vintage Caribbean books, board games, puzzles, and locally crafted artwork that captures Bequia’s vibrant spirit.
The fully equipped kitchen makes meal prep easy, whether you’re cooking up fresh island finds or grilling on the charcoal BBQ. With two bedrooms and two private washrooms, comfort is key. One bedroom has two twin beds that convert into a king (with a plush 4” gel & copper-infused topper), while the other features a double bed overlooking the ravine and fruit trees—a peaceful view to start your day.
The wrap-around balcony is the crown jewel, offering front-row seats to sunrise coffees, sunset cocktails, and a natural soundtrack from bananaquits (aka "Sugar Birds"), doves, and mockingbirds. Don’t be surprised if Barrington, our friendly red-footed tortoise, makes an appearance—he’s a big fan of mango peels.
🌺 The Garden Apartment: Your Cozy Tropical Hideaway 🌿
Perfect for quick getaways or long, lazy stays, the Garden Apartment is a ground-floor retreat surrounded by lush greenery. It comfortably hosts up to four guests, with a private bedroom (twin beds) and an additional double bed in the open-plan living area, complete with a privacy screen for a little extra space when you need it.
The full kitchen and dining area are ready for everything from casual breakfasts to post-beach snacks. Both the bedroom and living space open onto a covered terrace, your go-to spot for morning coffee, quiet reading sessions, or afternoon daydreaming with garden views all around.
Both apartments are equipped with:
- Solar-powered hot water
- Wi-Fi
- Ceiling & pedestal fans
- Mosquito nets for all bedrooms
- Screened windows and burglar bars
- Transformers
- Smart TV/Projector Setup

Guest access
Guests staying at The Pink House will have full and exclusive access to the entire property during their stay. This includes both the upper apartment and ground-floor apartments, along with the wrap-around balcony, covered terrace, and lush garden areas.
Other things to note
Important Considerations
Perched on a hillside with breathtaking views, The Pink House is accessed via a short, steep path—ideal for adventurers but may be challenging for guests with mobility concerns.
We embrace island living with open-air spaces and cooling sea breezes. Ceiling fans are provided in all main rooms, with added pedestal fans in both bedrooms to keep you comfortable. Expect the soothing sounds of nature mixed with the occasional rhythms of local music—adding to the authentic island atmosphere.
Infrastructure & Connectivity
We use UK 3-pin plugs (220V). Adaptors are available if needed. To support sustainability, we kindly ask guests to conserve electricity by turning off lights, appliances, and the switches beside each socket when not in use. Each apartment includes at least 2 transformers and power bars, perfect for devices like coffee makers, blenders, laptops, and hairdryers.
Wi-Fi is reliable for everyday needs, though occasional Caribbean power outages may occur. We provide candles and flashlights just in case.
Getting Around
Public transport is readily available (and super fun!) around the island—expect to pay around 2 XCD each way. We also recommend renting a scooter or using local taxis for easy access to beaches and attractions. Our guidebook is packed with local recommendations and trusted contacts to help you explore the best of Bequia.
Eco-Friendly Practices
We use solar power to heat our water and aim to keep things as natural as possible. We’re committed to sustainability by supporting the island’s recycling program, encouraging guests to be mindful of waste, and promoting the use of reef-friendly sunscreens to help protect Bequia’s vibrant marine life. Your small efforts help us preserve the natural beauty of the island for future generations.
Air Conditioning: All bedrooms are equipped with split ductless air conditioning to keep things cool and comfortable. We are currently working toward our goal of making these units fully solar powered as part of our commitment to sustainability.
To help keep our prices accessible and to be kind to the planet, we ask that you use the A/C mindfully:
➔ Turn it off when you're not in the bedroom
➔ Keep windows closed when the A/C is running
Pet-Friendly Policy
We warmly welcome pets for an additional fee. Please let us know in advance if you’ll be bringing your furry friend so we can make the necessary arrangements to ensure a comfortable stay for everyone.
Looking forward to sharing Bequia with you.
Oli & Noel
