WEST VIEW

As you head down the track towards Villa West View, you wonder if you can really be on the right road. Less than a 10 minute drive from the main town of Gustavia, this extremely secluded home offers one of the most extensive views on St Barts, from St Martin right round to St Kitts and beyond, with the entrance to Gustavia harbour in the foreground.

Step out onto the terrace and the silence says it all - nothing but the gentle gurgling of the pool. Look around and you'll find everything you need for a relaxing time - hammocks, loungers, Jacuzzi, an underwater bench in the pool - plenty of choice for sipping your sunset cocktail, and oh, those sunsets can be spectacular.

The villa is full of personal touches provided by the owners to make you feel at home, such as a huge library of films and music, and even their favourite ribs recipe for your barbecue evenings.

Villa West View is more than just a rental villa - it's a home from home which brings guests back year after year.
