GROS ILET

The advantages of its location within walking distance of Gustavia are self-evident, but rental Villa Gros Ilet always manages to surprise guests by its spaciousness. The large single room of the upper floor comprises a comfortable sitting area with an office corner, the beautifully outfitted kitchen with all mod cons and breakfast bar, and even a small dining table, although most of that takes place al fresco. A conveniently placed window in the kitchen provides a highly practical serving hatch straight to the dining table on the covered terrace, where the 180° view over Gustavia to the Caribbean and its islands will take your breath away.

Two typical St Barts red roofs just in front of the pool deck house the two bedrooms on the lower level. Both have ocean view and private bath, and open onto a shady terrace looking over the garden to the sea beyond. This perfectly maintained villa feels brand new, and features air conditioning throughout, ample private parking and a gas barbecue for your burger evenings.

Energetic guests love to walk up to the gym in Lurin, or down to the famous Shell Beach, site of the Do Brazil restaurant and snack bar, but for those who prefer a more relaxing vacation, two minutes in the car is all it takes. The shops and restaurants of Gustavia's harbour are practically on your doorstep.

Villa Gros Ilet is a practical, comfortable hillside perch with fabulous views and close to the action. The perfect recipe for a relaxing, fun vacation.
