THE AREA
The tiny, 8-square-mile island of St. Barts is one of the jewels of the Caribbean. Settled by the French, who continue to form the majority of the population, this cosmopolitan island combines French savoir-faire with a picture-perfect setting of turquoise seas and soft, white sand beaches. There are 20 or so different beaches, all beautiful, and you can sunbathe, snorkel or dive to your heart's content. On a clear day, you can easily see the neighboring islands of Anguilla, Nevis, and St. Martin. Development has been strictly controlled, and there are no high-rises or large hotels on St. Barts. In Gustavia, the picturesque main town and harbor, you will find sophisticated French restaurants, designer boutiques (often quite expensive), and a limited but diverse amount of nightlife.

THE PROPERTIES
We offer a number of private villas in several desirable locations on St. Barts. Your choices include beachfront villas and properties set on lush, green hillsides -- almost all with spectacular sea views. We feature villas at Pointe Milou, an exclusive residential area on the northern coast, in the hills of the Petite Saline area, and above the beach at Gouverneurs (a beautiful, secluded area on the west side of the island) and St. Jean (next door to the tiny seaside airport). The properties range in size from 1-4 bedrooms or more, but 2-3 bedroom villas are most typical. Most of the larger properties (and many smaller villas) feature private pools. The typical villa includes a terrace and/or garden, and is tastefully furnished in island style, often with comfortable wicker or rattan pieces and carefully selected artwork.

INTERIORS
The typical villa includes 1-4 bedroom(s), 1-4 bathroom(s), living room, dining area, and fully equipped kitchen. All are comfortably furnished, and extra beds may be available at some properties.
