A villa above town has much to offer vacationers, and if the town is St. Barth’s little harborside capital of Gustavia?wow! Shops, restaurants, and popular Shell Beach are all within walking distance (steep). And the views from this luxurious 3 bedroom home are stunning. Guests love the panorama of the harbor’ gorgeous yachts and the bustle of maritime activity. The view encompasses the St. Barth’s signature red-roofed villas and extends to the ocean beyond, including neighboring islands. Fiery sunsets are a bonus and come nighttime, the lights are magical. An infinity pool is the focal point of a spacious terrace that offers a sheltering portico for alfresco dining  (seats 10) and relaxing. A sun deck bedecked with chaise lounges is cooled by an air-mist system.

Three en suite bedrooms include a master and 2 equally sized guest rooms aligned with the terrace. All have ocean views. A compact, well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar, perfect for a quick snack, is adjacent to an enormous living room, furnished for comfort and TV viewing. This entire area is air-conditioned and opens to the pool terrace. The décor throughout is contemporary, and the white color palette is soothing.
