Hillside in Gustavia, this stylish villa offers privacy, sweeping views of the sea and neighboring islands. Glorious sunsets are a bonus. The iconic harbor, shops, restaurants, and popular Shell Beach are all nearby. Spacious, with four en suite bedrooms, Axel Rocks, is a perfect vacation home to share with family or friends. An abundance of outdoor living space, a stunning heated pool with a swim-up bar, a Sonos sound system, and a pool table up the fun factor. If guests must work while on vacation, Villa Axel Rocks is one of the few villas on St. Barth with Fiber Optic Internet.

A professional kitchen will delight the cooks in the group, or it’s ready and waiting for a private chef. Sliding glass walls can contain all the sights and sounds of dinner preparation. (St. Barth Properties can arrange for a chef for all or a portion of your stay.) Guests can dine alfresco on the terrace, and a lovely dining area is incorporated into an open floor plan with a living room that includes a wet bar. Furnished for relaxing and TV viewing, it’s an ideal spot for all to gather; a guest bath is nearby.

Air-conditioned throughout and contemporary in architecture, the modern décor is complemented with a cool white palette and unique artwork. The bedrooms are true retreats with smart TVs (There’s DISH Network and Apple TV.) and refrigerators; three are upper level with terraces and sea views. The fourth bedroom is on the main level and opens to the pool terrace. A small bedroom with a bath is located off of the third bedroom, and is also accessible from the outside; it has a trundle bed and only suitable for older children of a staff member. Axel Rocks also has a fully equipped gym.
