| Situated
on the leeward crest, this villa is located above the harbor in the Port
of Gustavia. To your east, sailboat masts and the lights of classic French
restaurants compliment the star-lit evenings. To the west, only the beautiful,
blue expanse of the Caribbean Sea, with the passing of visiting sailboats
and private yachts, fill your days with incredible views and serenity.
On a clear day, the islands of Saba, St. Eustatia, and St. Kitts provide an equally stellar backdrop. Located in the Preservation District of Gustavia, the center of life in St. Barths, Harbour Crest House is one of only a few villas available for rent in this historic port. |

The
villa is of French and Caribbean design, and furnished with a combination
of French country and British West Indies appointments. The style is casual
and relaxed, with a touch of elegance.
The villa consists of a large living room, dining area, kitchen, four bedrooms and 3 ½ baths. The three master suites open onto terraces which overlook the pool and afford panoramic views of the sea. For the nanny or occasional visitor, a fourth bedroom is available. |

Outside living is composed of three shaded terraces, a large pool surrounded by additional patio space, and two Jacuzzi's. All outside areas have comfortable furnishings appropriate for tanning or relaxing during the day or entertaining at sunset. Harbour Crest House offers the ultimate in privacy, comfort, and convenience:

| Privacy:
The pool, jacuzzi's and outdoor living areas are completely private.
Waves break against the rocks 60' below the patio. One can feel most
comfortable sunbathing "au naturel" or skinny dipping at most any time,
day or night.
Convenience: Although private and secluded, Harbour Crest House is located in one of the best locations on the island. Within a five minute walk (one minute by car), you will find a multitude of fine French and Creole restaurants (not to mention Italian, Vietnamese and Mediterranean) and, last but not least, the famous "La Select" for which Jimmy Buffet wrote "Cheeseburger in Paradise". In addition, several local boulangeries provide hot croissants and baguettes in the morning, as well as take-out for lunch and dinner. For the shopper, everything from Cartier and designer boutiques to local art shops, museum, and antique galleries are just part of what Gustavia has to offer - all within a short walking distance.

Comfort: The villa and outdoor furnishings were selected to provide comfortable yet attractive accommodations for all occasions. Whether you choose to read in the shade, tan in the sun, entertain, or just lounge about, a cozy spot is around every corner. During the day, trade winds and ceiling fans provide cooling breezes. For the evenings, all bedrooms are air conditioned. Daily maid service is also provided (except on Sundays and holidays).
Of course, one must not miss the harbor itself. Checking out the beautiful boats is a daily promenade for most visitors. Also within a 5 minute walk is little Anse de Grand Galet (Shell Beach) - terrific for shell collectors, as well as those wishing to swim long laps or snorkel. The beaches of St. Jean, Saline, and Gouverneur are only a 10 minute drive away. |
