A View

Among the many luxuries to be discovered at Villa A View (WVU) is the abundance of light and space. The rooms of this vacation rental home are gracefully, generously proportioned, with large amounts of floor space, an open-plan design, high ceilings and wide walls of windows. The feeling they create is one of being at peace with nature, part of a glorious ecosystem of sea and sky, sunsets and stars. The ample living quarters are laid out in an intelligent fashion that allows for plenty of quality togetherness—without ever stepping on one another’s toes—and for some serious privacy. And at every turn, there are stellar views of the crashing waves of the Caribbean as the lap the shore of St. Jean Bay, far, far below, and seemingly a world away.

With two master bedrooms, one in its own building and one on its own level, and two guest bedrooms, Villa A View has a versatile layout that makes it well suited to couples traveling together, or to families with grown children. Recently renovated, the property has a wonderfully understated, traditional St. Barth aesthetic, with weathered wood floors and seas of white for the walls, ceilings, tables, counters and sectional sofas, forming a backdrop that’s free of distractions from the loved ones you’re with.
