Flamboyant Cottage - Spectacular View & Pool
Welcome to Flamboyant Cottage, our gingerbread-cute vacation home on Saba, The Unspoiled Queen of the Caribbean. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen and private pool, it's a beautiful and relaxing home away from home. The cottage is the perfect base from which to experience Saba's timeless charm. Come experience all the Unspoiled Queen has to offer!
Located in a secluded, private area on Booby Hill just a 10-minute walk from Windwardside, Flamboyant Cottage is perched 1,400 feet above sea level. The property is situated on the southeast hills of Saba, directly in the trade winds, and the terraces offer spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea and the islands of St. Eustatius (Statia), St. Kitts and Nevis. Let the sounds of the peeping of tree frogs and the rustle of leaves lull you to sleep each night,
Flamboyant Cottage's proximity to Windwardside means that you're within easy walking distance to groceries, shopping, and several enticing restaurants. To get around the island, taxis are just a phone call away, or better yet, don your hiking shoes and take advantage of Saba's spectacular hiking trails. Saba's dive operation offers excellent service, including transportation from the cottage to the dive boats docked at Fort Bay.
Flamboyant Cottage has two bedrooms (one queen bed, two twin beds), two bathrooms (each with a shower), a fully equipped kitchen, an outside dining gazebo, and tiled terraces leading to a beautiful private pool. The cottage is designed for one or two couples, and can sleep a maximum of four people.
Flamboyant Cottage is our relaxed, quiet, home away from home. If you're looking for a peaceful, restful environment for your vacation, this is the place for you. Days can be spent being as lazy or energetic as you want - you can sit by the pool with a favorite book, spend the day under the Caribbean Sea with one of Saba's local dive shops, or test your physical fitness on Saba's hiking trails. At night you have your choice of relaxing in the cottage's outdoor gazebo with a home cooked meal or walking into Windwardside to sample one of Saba's several restaurants.
Please consider spending your next vacation on Saba at Flamboyant Cottage!

Our stay was perfect from the minute we landed on the island. Easy communication with property manager, taxi prearranged and the cottage had everything we needed! Great views, walking distance to town, restaurants and hiking. Everyone we met was SUPER friendly which made our stay extra special!
My husband and I had a great stay at Flamboyant Cottage. Before we arrived, the property manager had arranged for a taxi for us for both arrival and departure. The property manager met us at the cottage and took us grocery shopping right away, which made it very easy for us to choose between cooking or going out all week long. The cottage was nicely laid out with several different spaces to relax in: pool, gazebo, and porch. We had a great time hiking various trails on the island. Every meal we ate out, whether in Windwardside or The Bottom, was delicious. We met many nice people. Overall, we found Saba to be a very unique, beautiful, and safe place to visit!
This place was beautiful, so peaceful and the views and pool were perfect. A well appointed kitchen and plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy. Michael was an extremely helpful host coordinating transport easily and even making the occasional dinner reservation for us. Wonderful island, visit if you feel like completely relaxing!
So lovely , whimsical, the view, the pool was so wonderful to cool off. Saba is magical.The cottage was clean and so many outdoor sitting spots.Could not recommend it more
We had an amazing trip to this beautiful islands, and loved staying at the Flamboyant Cottage. We walked into Windwardside for restaurants, and did many breathtaking hikes. Saba is a treasure. The cottage was quiet, very comfortable, and had a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea.
We loved our stay. The cottage was perfect…cozy with everything you need to have a great stay. Beautiful views and a short walk to town. Be aware the walk is short but lots of steep hills. Michael the property manager was great and made our stay easy. The island of Saba is beautiful and the people are very friendly and welcoming. Take note that if you’re looking for beaches and night life, this is not the place for you. If you want to hike, scuba, snorkel and relax this is the perfect island.
We had a great time at Flamboyant cottage. Sunrises were beautiful, the neighbourhood is quiet. The cottage has everything you need for a stay and the pool is clean and great for a refreshing 'dip'. The walk from Windwardside is a bit steep here and there. If you have mobility problems, it is good to rent a car. Nice that toilet paper, cheese, water, butter and eggs were provided. Michael, contact person on the island, was very helpful and friendly. We can recommend this stay to anyone.
You can't get a better spot/place in Saba. This quaint cottage has views to die for, as well as everything you need in a vacation rental. Plus it has a pool. No need for AC either since the breezes, along with the fans keep the place quite comfortable. I know some guests stated they walked to Windwardside....quite a hike. We rented a car which worked perfect. Communication with Michael the property manager, and Larry the owner was perfect.

Unique and Quaint and lots of cardio
Saba is unlike any Caribbean island. Quaint, quirky, and quiet and beautiful
There is no beaches and very few tourists. It one very very steep mountain that goes into the ocean.
This property is located above windward. The village and the house quaint and picturesque. It is great place to relax but there is not fast passed.
The property has an amazing view and a pool that’s a little chilly.
If you want yo relax, this is a great place.
Please note. The hill is very steep. Taxis are expensive considering the distance.
So cardio cardio cardio
We’ve had an amazing time in Flamboyant cottage. The location was perfect, great views, nice pool and walking distance to Windwardside. The service was great: from the pre-arranged taxi, welcome at check-in and the communication throughout our stay. Highly recommended when you’re looking for an unforgettable experience on Saba!
We had a wonderful stay at Flamboyant Cottage. From the start communication was well defined and instant. The house manager Cece was so helpful and her assistant Marc was available to review the house and answer questions. Cece arranged a taxi to and from the airport. It made our travel very easy.
We enjoyed our stay! Michael, the local property manager was tremendously helpful. This is down a very steep hill and most taxis won't drive down it which was a bit of a downside. It is a bit of a physical trek to get down and up walking to Windwardside but boy the view alone is worth it. Everyone must experience Saba at least once! A true diamond in the rough.

Exquisite!
Start with one of the most perfect islands in the world. Then, place a wonderful cottage in the most perfect location on that island - Welcome to Flamboyant Cottage, Saba!
One doesn't know where to begin when describing how wonderful this place is. The peace and tranquility? The priceless view? The feeling of comfort and "home", that the cottage wraps you in? I had stayed at another location on the island, but Flamboyant exceeded my expectations in every way. It was simply exquisite! Thanks Larry & Sherry!
The cottage is equipped as described. Everything you need is there! The basic supplied food items were greatly appreciated.
The pool and deck are great! We spent alot of our time there.
The only negative would be that the toilet paper disposal method was not disclosed until we received our check in instructions. That really should be listed on the web page . While it may be considered "normal" in Saba, it really is very much out of the norm for many other places.

A wonderful relaxing stay
A wonderful week at Flamboyant Cottage. A great place, quiet, lots of room, close to town with a wonderful view; and all the amenities. That pool is so nice after a day hike up Mt. Scenery!! The Internet was perfect for emails, news and terrific for streaming music. Thanks for having the iPhone 5 adapter!! Also to make it perfect ... The full Sea Hunt DVD set for late evenings!! Awesome! (The only issue there is the TV does interfere with hearing the lovely frogs)
We hiked a lot and chilled some days. All perfect.
Thank you and I hope we'll be back to Saba soon.
We stayed here for four nights and wish we could have stayed longer. The cottage is very spacious with multiple outdoor areas and a lovely pool. I honestly could have just sat on the front porch and looked out over the water for the entire four days. It was that peaceful. Our local host was very accommodating and assisted us with arranging transportation to and from the ferry. It was great to have some grocery staples on hand when we arrived. The cottage is a bit of a walk from downtown Windwardside with multiple hills. It was definitely a good workout. We never used the TV, but the Wi-Fi signal was good. Saba is an amazing island, full of friendly people, beautiful vistas and challenging hikes. It definitely lives up to its moniker as the Unspoiled Queen of the Caribbean. I would not recommend staying here if you are mobility impaired due to the steps and steep inclines. It was quite breezy at the cottage, so I would recommend bringing a sweater despite the warm temperatures.

Nice
Not at all handicap accessible, very tropical settings, buggy,musty, as an island would be. Everything you would need provided
My husband and I spent our honeymoon on Saba in the Flamboyant cottage, and it was the best decision we’ve ever made. All the advice given by the owners was useful and helped us to make great decisions during our stay. Michael and Tricia were friendly and helpful. The pool was amazing on hot days after the long walk up Booby Hill. The view from the house was gorgeous. Other reviews talked about the house being less modern than maybe other houses on the island, but we thought it was charming. It had everything we needed, and there was bread, eggs, cheese and yogurt left for us so we could make some breakfasts at home. They also left a cell phone to call local taxis, which was very helpful. The walk up the hill to and from the house was certainly challenging, but not impossible, and we enjoyed the exercise. Thank you so much - our stay was perfect and we can’t wait to come back!
