About this cottage rental

This cottage was built in a bygone era (1858) in Windwardside and features stunning views of the blue Caribbean, the misty top of spectacular Mt. Scenery, and the picturesque village below. Within 1-3 min you can walk to 2 grocery stores, 6 restaurants, 3 bars, the PO, a dive shop, 2 tourist shops, 2 churches, and a lovely park with museum. It's been a popular tourist rental for 10 years now, especially with divers as the pick up point is just below.

In 2022 a second separate efficiency apartment of 230 sq ft (22 sq m) was completed adjacent to the original cottage. Peter Hytte can be combined with the main cottage if three couples are traveling together, for example, as a small dive group. The apartment has a fully stocked kitchenette however there's plenty of space to dine and socialize all together in Althea Cottage if desired.

For active travelers who don't need as much space as the main cottage offers, Peter Hytte provides the same views and amenities at an attractive price point.

Very nice comfortable casual accommodations. Very convenient to amazing bakery open for breakfast and lunch, other restaurants nearby. Only critique of Althea Cottage is that the gas stove’s flame controls didn’t work well.

Althea Cottage is in a perfect location for a trip to Saba. You can walk to everything in Windwardside—grocery store, bakery, restaurants & bars, and the Mt Scenery trailhead. No need for a rental car. Very well appointed kitchen, and the recycling aspect was easily complied with, and you felt like you were doing your part with little to no sacrifice. It is a stunning historic dwelling, and we hope to be back one day to a truly unique Caribbean island. Jeff was an amazing host, and he knows Saba inside and out. Well done, Sir.

Althea Cottage was absolutely amazing! It is a historic chattel cottage located centrally within Windwardside village. It is a short walk away from the Busy Bee Bakery, which is a phenomenal place to enjoy breakfast, a snack, or lunch. It is also in close proximity to the grocery store and restaurants. The cottage overlooks the village, and you can also view the sea in the distance from both the right and left. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need to cook. The living room is very spacious and comfortable. The bedroom and bathroom are very well furnished. The cottage has the most wonderful patio area with table and chairs and is framed with a beautiful rock garden.Jeff was aa wonderful host! He was there to meet us when we arrived. He provided us a tour of the cottage and answered any questions that we had. He was available during our stay for any additional information that we requested. The people who live on Saba are very environmentally conscious. Jeff upholds and supports this vision and has set up his rental cottage to conserve water and recycle. It was refreshing in my opinion and made me really think about resources such as water and disposables.Saba is an amazing island and it's beauty surpasses much I have seen in the Caribbean. The hiking trails are phenomenal. I highly recommend staying at Althea cottage!
