Luxury apartment with birds-eye view of Gustavia’s iconic yacht harbor.

What comes to mind when you think of the island of St. Barts? For most people it’s the island’s iconic harbor in Gustavia, with its exclusive marina, luxury shops, fine dining restaurants and crystalline water. t is the entry point for nautic activities, major events as Bucket Regatta in March, Voiles de St Barth in April and so much more. It’s a frequent stop for the yachts of the rich and famous, who prize the island’s laid-back atmosphere, beauty and privacy, and the three-bedroom villa known as Town House offers a comfortable and cozy birds-eye view of it all. It’s hard to identify what we love best about Town House, but its location is at the top of the list. Its second-floor location affords stunning views of the water, the sky, and the city, while its position between fine grocery stores, bakeries and the new L’Atelier Joel Robuchon restaurant means immediate access to gastronomic pleasures and the town’s remarkable boutiques, and a 5-minute walk to Shell Beach with its millions of shells in every color, shape, and size. Inside you’ll find soothing natural colors and soaring white beamed ceilings accenting an open floor plan that comfortably accommodates six. The well-equipped kitchen is complete with a breakfast bar that provides an amazing harbor view, and the three equally sized bedrooms are each equipped with their own king-sized bed and luxurious en suite. The sunny front terrace provides a view of the city, while the back terrace offers a restful respite complete with a combination swimming pool and jacuzzi. The apartment is air conditioned, offers HDTV and Canal Satellite, Dish Network, Apple TV, programmable safes and Wifi. Add to all of Town House’s conveniences the wide array of concierge services offered by One St Barts and you truly have the ultimate in a luxurious, private escape: from dinners prepared by the island’s premier chefs to arranging for private yacht excursions or spa treatments, it’s always our goal to combine the very best properties with the very best services. Apartment Town House rental comes with a parking spot.
