wonderful place for swimming, hiking, reading and bird watching.

Ideal for four, perfect for two, Burke House has two large bedrooms each with their own private bathroom. Maid service is included, as is your own private cook so all you have to do is relax and be spoilt. Maybe a private BBQ on your beach? Fresh fish, lobster (in season), conch and other local specialities will be prepared especially for you.
Dramatic cliffs dropping off into the Caribbean ocean on one side and the secluded Moonhole Beach on the other side, Burke House is ideally situated on the crest of a hill on this private penninsula to provide you with views of beaches, islands and tropical flora.
Burke House is situated on a ridge 100 feet above sea level. Surrounded by large shade trees it has great views of both sides of the island. It is situated right above the beautiful Moonhole beach.
On one side of the building dramatic cliffs drop down to the Caribbean ocean and one of the best dive sites in the islands. Here you can swing in a hammock and watch the yachts sail by with the island of St. Vincent in the distance.
On the other side of the building , directly off the lounge, there is a large tiled patio overlooking the Grenadine Islands to the East and South. To one shady side you will find another hammock ideal for reading, relaxing and enjoying the views.
One awakens to the music of mocking birds and the Bequia Black Birds singing, "Bequia Sweet Sweet Sweet" - an ideal place for those of us who are at one with nature and a wonderful place for swimming, hiking, reading and bird watching. (Frigate Bird, Booby, Mocking Bird, Heron, Osprey, Tropic Bird and many others.)
The house has two large bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king-size four poster bed and the second bedroom has a large queen-sized bed. Both bedrooms have private bathrooms with hot showers, toilets and wash basins. The living and dining areas have beautiful views of the island of Saint Vincent in addition to about twenty of the Grenadine islands. Here you can sit and watch the sailing yachts passing by. There are spectacular views looking both north and south.
Daily maid service is included so all of the cooking and cleaning is someone else's duty. The secluded Moonhole beach is just two minutes walk away, ideal for swimming. Always popular is a moonlit beach barbecue. Your cook will take care of the food preparation and dishes. You just have to turn up and enjoy!!

Guest Book
Before our fab holiday becomes a distant memory I thought I’d get this email to you!
Our experience with you and Lucille at Grenadine Escape was second to none. You both looked after us exceptionally well with no moans or annoyance at the constantly changing spec. Your recommendations and help were utterly invaluable and very much appreciated: from flight panics to lost phones, ensuring a hire car was at the airport to meet us and sorting a driving licence for us.
Our first week at Burke House was truly magical. Not only is the location absolutely stunning but the house really encompasses the true Bequia feel: relaxed, genuine and unique. No, it does not have the hot and cold running comforts some people expect and yes, there are a lot of stairs but we firmly believe that it is the better for it. Besides with views like that (including the loos and showers!), who cares! We are also utterly in love with Marva. The way she looked after us was exceptional: from subtle, surreptitious housekeeping to advice on buying lobster at the fish market, Marva’s help was invaluable. She really was the icing on an already scrumptious cake.
Thank you again for all your amazing help and a wonderful holiday.
