Accueil chaleureux, aide à l'organisation, cottage plein de charme et calme
Un peu loin de la plage accessible par route fréquentée et des restaurants hors saison
Lovely apartment close to Kingstown. I ended up extending an extra night here and the accommodation was excellent. Great communication and a friendly owner. Easy to get a bus to Kingston, you can even walk. Supermarket and restaurants nearby. Would definitely stay here again!

Cute cottage. A/C in the bedroom was very much appreciated. Good kitchen facilities.
Extremely steep hill to the cottage.
Really positive staying thanks to the kindness of the owner Phelia that welcomed us at the airport with the car that we booked with them for a very goood rate, Good position nearby Kingstown, some beaches and supermarket that leave smoothly the stays.
I suggest to put complete cuttlery and dishes for at least 2 people
It was spacious, very clean and has everything you need fridge microwave utensils.
nothing I can think of
Locatie curata cu terasa mare, spatios, chicinetă utilată cu tot ce ai nevoie, doamna de la receptie foarte politicoasă, după check in ne-a lasat sa depozitam si bagajele 3 ore deoarece aveam zborul spre seara, am comunicat foarte bine cum sa ajungem la locatie de la aeroport cu microbuzul, trebuie sa traversezi parcrea apoi faci la stanga ( este o panta usoara) si mergi pe jos aprohimativ 500 de metri pana la o intersectie unde este statia de microbuz. Supermarket la 700 de metri, statia de microbuz ca sa mergi spre centrul orasului este la 300 de metri, plaja conform descrierii.
Lovely little cottage that had everything we needed. The staff really went above and beyond for me when I forgot some of my electronics. The lady delivered it to me where I was since I was without transportation and I tried to pay her, but she disnt accept. I am so appreciative and grateful, thankyou!
Anfragen wurden immer sofort beantwortet Empfang war äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit mit vielen guten Tipps Zimmer war groß und es war alles vorhanden für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt
Die Lage ist etwas abseits aber das hat mich nicht groß gestört
The response time was excellent and really safe location
A little upgrade is needed especially the bathroom and fresh paint throughout
Quietness and relaxing

Simpatia da proprietária, muito atenciosa.
Localização um pouco longe dos principais pontos turísticos da ilha.
Lovely neigbourghood, nice service and very good location - everything needed is walking distance.
Not enough mugs.
I had such a great time at the Buttercup Airbnb! The staff was amazing—by the end of my 8-day stay, I honestly felt like I had gained another family. The place was spotless, and everything was even cleaner and nicer than I expected. I also really appreciated how they checked in on me regularly to make sure I was comfortable. The only funny part was the roosters—they made it their mission to wake me up every morning! But honestly, it just became part of the experience, and it didn’t take away from how much I enjoyed my stay. I’d definitely go back again! It was a delightful stay!
The place was receptive, staff was friendly and well kept. It's a must stay when visiting St Vincent
Good budget option, well stocked kitchen, walkable to most places. Would definitely go back
Apartment was so comfortable and the view was stunning, with mango trees around, The host was very friendly. Would love to come here again.
The living area and kitchen were spacious and well appointed. Air conditioning would have been better than fans. Washing capability helped us in our travels. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Lots of hills and stairs, especially with our bags. The location was a bit away from town, harbour, and even shops. Roosters and dogs made a racket during parts of the night.
Fantastic place almost right in the middle of both the capital and the airport - in the fampus Arnos Vale area. You can walk to the nearest beach, You can get a bus just from the main road. We spent 3 nights in our (European) wintertime, and both the room and the whole villa exceeded our expectations as it was unusually tidy, comfortable, spacious, renovated, modern with some kind of "colonial feel" to it. All necessary items were inside - cutlery, tea or coffee, plates. We could use all kitchen amenities, cook, bake, chill or freeze drinks. Big fridge, big dining room, big bed. Our little one was so happy to look at the TV or simply run through the corridor. The owner helped us immediately with anything and made sure that we had everything to make our stay both happy, memorable and safe. The place is so welcoming. You can have Your own piece of mind or You can meet and chat with other travellers or even owner/workers. For both a a longer stay or just a quick transfer in this paradise, look no further than Buttercup Cottage`s gorgeous rooms. You get here scented towels, aircon, great pillows, spacious wardrobes plus shower. You can have some nice sightseeing/dining/drinking/shopping/walking opportunities in the area as well. Buses plying the streets in both directions are easily avaiable just on the other side of the street which is anther great deal - the same apllies to the shop with beer and coke just across the road. Nobody can beat both the service and warm hospitality of this place (PLUS the price in the whole of the island)!!! Hope to visit and stay once agan in the future in this magnificent piece of glorious Heaven On Earth;) Thanks so much for Your amazing hospitality! Cheers and regards Artie, Agnes and little Katy.
Nothing to be disliked here, so sorry Guys!
Very clean and safe, easy to walking access the beach, supermarkets and vans to town. It was a comfortable walk 20 minutes the beach and many supermarkets between 10-20 minutes walk depending on which you choose to visit. Situated in a residential location, with a lovely verandah and Mountain View from the two bedroom apartment. We were grateful for the aircon in the bedrooms, the fly nets on the windows, a laundry space and cable tv with cartoon channels suited our family needs. The apartments are very traditional Caribbean style, with cockerels crowing in the morning outside. This is what we were looking for as we were here to visit family. Perfect for our stay with our two children. Would highly recommend!
The space is nice but they really need to change the pillows: 2 of them are enormous and extremely hard, and 2 are falling into pieces. Overall, the unit is nice and spacious. I really loved the two chairs they have inside the unit, it makes it cozy. The only thing for me was the location: the street is very dark at night and even though is close to young island (the best place I’ve visited in at Vincent - which was not my favorite island so far), I would stay here again without having a car!
Pillows Dark street area at night
It is awesome for a family.
The shower is kind of difficult to use, and location is a little bit odd, but not bad. Rather than that, everything else was awesome.
The property was lovelyandclean hadeverything we needed
Amazing location great views the owner and staff wasso kind a nd very helpful
Lovely, quiet apartment with a very warm welcome from Phelia. I can highly recommend the accommodation.
Great location for being able to get around the island. Walking distance to Indian Bay, supermarkets and bar restaurant. Friendly locals. I stayed in the mountain view room and really enjoyed relaxing on the balcony of an evening enjoying the view.
I like that it was close to all the places I visit with family.
The apartment can do with some upgrades. The upgrades need to be in the bathroom, make sure everything is working properly, and put an AC in the living room. That fan is not going to cut it. If you have a clock on the wall, make sure it works. You need bigger ice trays. Sometimes, it's nice to have a starter kit for your clients because when you get off of a flight, no one wants to worry about what to get for the next day. Starter kit should have coffee, biscuits, bottle water, tea bags, small creamer/milk, and maybe a small juice. Plugs that can be used by international clients. The outlets for international guests are far and few in-between. I loved sitting on the veranda.
The bed was very comfy.
It was Good
Very cosy and spacious apartment. Just THE KINDEST hostess we met on our 6-stop Caribbean island hopping tour! Good location in calm residential area with a couple of restaurants and a bus stop within 5 minutes walk. In total: Excellent value for money.
We loved using the local buses (5 minutes walk to bus stop), but if you're not into that, you'll need a car.
Great place to chill after a busy day. Loved the balcony view and quietness. Lovely neighbourhood. Easy access by bus to town and airport (but be aware that buses are often full)
I like everything. There were two minor issues. The place is wonderful. I enjoyed my stay there and plan to return whenever I visit Vincy. The location is central—that's exceptional. I love it.
There were two minor issues but nothing to worry about.

Nice apartment, centrally located. The owners are simply delightful. They also facilitated a car rental which was very helpful. My partner and I had a great time in St Vincent

Well ventilated Clean Comfortable furniture Near to a supermarket Got a refund for unused nights
Internet wasn't available because it was windy - left early because of this - no provisions were made as an alternative( was fine when moved to another location in town) Left after 1 night into original 4 night booking because of this Tried to rip me off when refunding. They charge you by the current exchange rate XCD to USD - when refunding you they make up the rate and try and withhold money Loud Don't use property who take payment themselves as opposed to the through the website
The central location made getting around the island fairly easy. There’s a supermarket, doctor’s office, as well as a few food places near by. It’s less than a 10 minute walk from the closest bus stop (p.s. I walk slowly…lol). They provided more basic necessities than I thought they would have. For example, in the kitchen, they had a variation of pots and pans, bowls and plates, containers to store food in, cups and mugs, spoons, knives, spatulas, strainers, they even had kid friendly utensils. The set up of the apartment was simple and functional, very cozy and homey. The bathroom facilities were basic but functional, they provided a soap dish and hand soap as well as towels and toiletries. Though I’m not sure how often, they did have someone come in and change the sheets and towels, maybe clean as well but I’m not sure since I didn’t make much of a mess to begin with. My trip was also only 5 nights so I can’t say for certain.
As much as I have a lot of praises, there are a few things I think can be improved. For example, although it’s not a big issue or a deal breaker, the inner doors (bedroom and bathroom), have latches instead of door knobs. From a visual perspective that’s something I wasn’t expecting, but as I said, it’s not a dealbreaker. The doors themselves on a whole could be replaced as some parts towards the base were chipped away and fragile. The only other thing and probably the biggest issue I had, was the poor to okay Wi-Fi quality which I believe isn’t any fault of the apartment. I would sit directly in front of the router and be unable to stream a Netflix show because it kept buffering. As a result, I ended up just using the Wi-Fi to download the shows I wanted and watched them offline. In another scenario, when I tried video calling someone, the call would always say “unstable connection “ before the call dropped. To counter that, I bought a local sim and called using data. All in all, as much as those things were not 1000% satisfactory, it was okay because it was either negligible or a work around is possible.
Very comfortable, good AC, good location lovely staff.

Breakfast was not offered at this property. The location was very good for amienties. You can walk to all amienties i.e bars, restraurant, super markets and the bus stop which will take you into the town of Kingstown, Villa Beach and so on but, if there was more street lighting you would feel a little more safe walking as it gets dark very early. The bus service is very cheap and regular. The taxis (we used Slice) is very well priced also.
There was not enough street lighting down to the main round where all the bars, shops, restraurants and bus stop was.
Super clean apartment in walking distance to busstop and supermarket.
I love the location and the cleanliness of the room
So clean! Comfortable bed .. Beautiful location.. Friendly helpful staff 😌
Near shops/bars. Air conditioning.
Ok for 1 or 2 nights. Dislike the pillows. VERY lumpy. Never slept well at all! Bedside table would help too. Had to put contact lenses etc on chair or arm.
It was comfortable
Couldn't use my credit card
The apartment had everything I needed, clean and comfortable and amenities nearby.
Close location to Chillspot restaurant, inner Arnos Vale, and Sion Hill.
Extra towels (beach)
We liked the location, facilities, clean towels/sheets every other day. Nice touch having cable TV, oven, fridge freezer, microwave, toaster and kettle. Good Aircon in both bedrooms, water always available for showers hot or cold. Owners/staff very welcoming and friendly. We were fortunate enough to be allowed a later check out and even allowed to pick some local fruit on the grounds. We also enjoyed waking up to the sound of rooster crowing every morning.
The room was better in person than seen in pictures. I got to relax under A/C having nothing to do but enjoy myself.
Our stay at Buttercup Cottages Apartments did not cater to or require them to provide breakfast. Our Buttercup apt is called Frangipani #3 in a very quiet area off the main street. The apt is outfitted with a complete kitchen which we used. We could cooked if we wanted to but chose to eat out instead. It included a full cooking stove with oven, refrigerator and all kitchen appliances and utensils. Wifi, internet, tv, air con also included. Two beds, closet and dresser in the bedroom, complete shower and complete laundry room just outside of the apt. Convenience stores, restaurant and bar, and supermarket within walking distance, gas station around the corner and bus down the street to Kingstown which is 10 - 12 minutes away or Georgetown or anywhere else. Buttercup Cottage Apartments has all outside conveniences.
Shower spray head could have been cleaned
Buttercup Cottages is a quaint set of apartments. The apartment I stayed in (Anthurium - middle floor on the right in the pic) was lovely. Very basic, but equipped with everything you might need for a self-catering stay. I popped to the supermarket without checking the kitchen first, and came back to find the essentials (matches, sugar, tea bags, water, kitchen roll, washing up liquid) were already there. The staff were very friendly, always available either on site or via WhatsApp/email, and very helpful. The location is lovely. Just around the corner you can find: The Joshua Centre - the local mall - 5 mins drive London Dessert Co - a dessert eatery - 5 mins walk KFC - 2 mins drive Local supermarket (next to KFC) And Indian Bay Beach - 5 mins drive There are also a lot of other hotels/ restaurants including the wonderful Coconut Grove, within a 15 min drive. St Vincent is very hilly... VERY hilly.... so it was a bonus for me (first time to SVG) to know that I didn't have to drive and/or park my rental car up and steep hills to get 'home'. Other things to note: Lots of storage space for clothes/ luggage Iron and ironing board in room Plenty of crockery, cutlery and kitchen utensils A/C in the bedroom Plenty of space to park a rental car Hot shower I would stay here again.
These are first world problems, but I'll mention them anyway. The WiFi did not work throughout the whole apartment even though it's small, and the connection was particularly bad in the bedroom. I assume it's because of the concrete walls. The shower has two shower heads, an overhead one and a smaller one on a longer hose. Unfortunately the overhead one had bad water pressure and could probably do with a descale as the water shoots out in all different directions, and the smaller showerhead had nowhere to hang so had to be used by hand. It would be great if towels were changed more often or if a few could be left in the apartment for ease, as if you're going to the beach/ showering multiple times a day, one towel to last 3 days is not sufficient. I'm not sure if my visit had unfortunate timing, but there was building work going on in the space of land opposite and the grounds around the apartments seemed to be being tended to everyday, so a lie-in or quiet morning was not to be had.
Very friendly staff. Off the beaten path. Very clean and felt safe the whole time.
The host was extremely accommodating and helpful ..it was easy to collect the keys and payment was done on sight. They ensured our comfort and ability to check in without any major issues.
Breakfast was not included but the restaurant and bar down the street was awesome. Food was delicious.
I felt a separate living area would have been preferred. A few condiments such as package coffee, tea, salt, couple bottles of water in the fridge...
Location couldn't be much better if there for the cricket at Arnos Vale, which we were so basing review on this. Very close to stadium and also 2 good bars in Chill Spot and Tree bar. Tree bar has excellent food! Communication from host was awesome. Apartment was big. Aircon in rooms great, and would cool the whole apartment in short time. Very clean, tidy, and safe. Ok Beach about 10mins walk away.
Nothing for what we were there for.
Clean, safe and very convenient
More food options near by
I had a really good stay at Buttercup. The room was clean and a good size. The room came with a full kitchen and free tea and coffee 😁. The bed was very comfortable. AC worked perfectly. Great Wi-Fi and TV channels. My interaction with the host was very pleasant. The location is great, just a walking distance to shops, supermarkets, restaurants, beaches, and easy access to public transportation. Overall a satisfying stay and I highly recommend it.
Location was great, all the amenities, and facilities nearby. A lovely neighbourhood, a bus stop into town and beyond was easy to get to. I loved the location. The apartment had everything I needed, the host and cleanliness spot on
There was nothing I didn't like.
The location was great, near the capital city, and transportation was easy. It was quiet and cool with a nice breezy verandah
We had a bit of a walk to the beach which we were not prepared for, but it was a nice walk all the same.
Very nice studio, well equipped (some real coffee to go in the machine would be nice). Wifi excellent, a/c a bit ropey. I was offered a late check out, as my flight was at 8pm,without even asking for it.
It was a bit far from the shops and main road, I couldn't find the laundry and there was no-one around to show me.
Good Location. Near to bar/restaurant. Near to bus stop, bakery and supermarkets. About 10 minutes by bus to nearest beach.
Only one single 13amp socket in the bedroom and it's not useable, as the AC is plugged in to it. No light over the bedroom mirror.
The property was ideally located for all my needs, 20 minutes drive by public transport into the capital Kingstown, restaurant/bars is within the area, a 5 minutes drive will take you into the popular Villa area with beachfront properties and has public access to the beach, numerous restaurants, bars and nightlife..the property is well equipped with all the amenities for self catering, balcony/patio with views, nice gardens..room was comfortable and quiet, check-in process was smooth and easy with Kanezia as my host, lovely lady...definitely a consideration for a future visit
Could do with a little TLC, updating and maintenance, having better blockout drapes would've been nice as well
The facilities were clean and the staff very welcoming. The location was easy to find and is well placed in relation to town and other happening.

Nice hosts, quiet neighbourhood
Some small lamps would have improved the lighting. The overhead light was the only light.
The location and infrastructure.
Great location - the apartment was fantastic and the area was so friendly! Chill spot, Mac&C's bar, Troutman's, TreeBar and BarCode all excellent!
All great!
The place has everything, very well equipped. They allowed me to do an early check in. Near to the main road, bus stop and supermarket are nearby.
Everything was fine
Everything was so comfortable and clean and there were no pests to worry about, I really loved that. The bedroom smelled so nice and the beds were clean. The bathroom was also great and had clean towels. The kitchen was stocked with salt, sugar, black pepper, a mug of water, tea bags and coffee. We stayed in the downstairs of the 2 story apt building. There were hardly any people around so it was noise free and quiet. The area is safe and beautiful. Really enjoyed the rocking chair and fast wifi too.
Alright well there's a couple stuff I didn't like: 1. The chairs outside are old and they didn't look clean. 2. The curtains by the doors and windows in the main area were so sheer you could see out and anyone could see in. 3. There are no door knobs, just small hooks to pull it in and a flimsy latch. 4. The shower head was trash and there are no seperate switches for hot and cold, so you either get cold water or boiling hot water. 5. There's are no drawers in the kitchen, just cupboards. 6. There are no drawers in the bedroom either and barely any hangers so bring your own. 7. The sink in the bathroom was tiny. To the point where it was uncomfortable to even wash your hands. Had to wash my face in the kitchen sink.
Great apartment, great location!
All was lovely!
Real neighbourhood,with my friends the cows and the roosters.
Staff were incredibly helpful and kind. Such a convenient location.
Nothing
Apartment was great. Nice space, comfortable and clean. Short walk into Arnos Vale. Possible to walk to Villa Beach area and into Kingstown if fit (hilly)
Mosquitos in the apartment!
1) The location was perfect. A few minutes from Kingstown downtown. A supermercard nearby. Bus stop 100m from the property so you can easily move around on the island. Just one fare (3ici). 2) The receptionist (Phellia) was very helpful. Gave me tips about the buses, sightseeings, etc. 3) The apartment was perfect: clean, god bed, pillows, tv, ... 4) I have been traveling around the Caribbean the last two months, and this property is the only one I can give a number 10 in everything. 5) Phellia checked the timetable to Bequia ferry for me, if Fort Charlotte was open, price for the boat to Fort Duvernette, i got all the help i needed. 🥰
I liked everything!! It's a lovely place to stay. Thanks, Phellia! I just loved St.Vincent. Nothing to complain!
Balcony
There is was a clear lack of any usable equipment or cooking utensils Everything was filthy. No tin opener or sharp knives. Pots were all pitted & should be in a bin. It’s disgusting that they take money & give you such rubbish The taps kitchen & bathroom were rusty so difficult to use. Kitchen taps leaked dreadfully. All unit doors were filthy & sticky.Fridge pitted all over with rust. Even keys to doors were rusty. Air conditioner was only in bedroom so hot elsewhere. No check out information no body in office. Left keys in apartment
