The brief

The reason to consider it.

House on The Path is a charming Saba-style cottage perched fifteen hundred feet above sea level on route to Mount Scenery. Secluded by a quick five-minute hike from the village of Windwardside, this intimate retreat offers tranquility and isolation from neighbors and traffic.

The location is also ideal for adventure enthusiasts craving an eco-experience on Saba, the Unspoiled Queen of the Caribbean. You are invited to relax in a hammock or plantation chair amidst the soothing sounds of Saba’s tropical forest. When dining by the kitchen’s historic limestone fire hearth and owner’s art collection, these remind you of a unique way of living.

When out on the patio surrounded by lush vegetation, Saba’s House on the Path built on a large piece of hidden land gives that special feeling of privacy. Restaurants, groceries, bank and the like needed to live on Saba are just another quick walk down to Windwardside.
