Beautiful ocean views
We traveled with another family and both had a wonderful time. The outdoor space and views of the ocean were amazing! Donnamarie and Daryl were helpful from day one. The roads were steep, but our small car did just fine. We even saw two monkey's as we drove up the driveway one afternoon. The pool was great and the door from the kitchen was our kids favorite. We had a peaceful week as we traveled to different beaches and enjoyed the pool each morning and evening! Highly recommend staying here!!

The view…..WOW!!!!!
Overall this was a beautiful place to enjoy our family vacation. The size was great for 7 adults, occupying all 4 bedrooms. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed having housekeeping every couple of days. Daryl, the house manager was very responsive when contacted and was helpful with dinner reservations and recommendations. We did have a consistent sugar ant problem in the kitchen that was a bit annoying, but we placed most of our food in the fridge to avoid issues. I really wish the fountains in the front of the house and inside the front door worked as I love the sound of water. If you’re looking for a house within walking distance from the beach, this is not it. It may be possible to walk DOWN, but the walk UP would have been brutal!The views were magnificent and allowed us lovely mornings with tea/coffee and lovely nights with good wine! Thank you for allowing us to make family memories.** Note - we hired a chef for a night and a steel drum player. It was the BEST night EVER **

gorgeous house
This house was perfect for us as we took our 3 adult children with their significant others. Each room has an ensuite and the property was very nicely kept. The only reason for the 4 star rating on location has to do with the steep driveway with a rental car that had issues going up it if it rained. The view is spectacular!

Absolutely Perfect!
We just left after 7 wonderful days at Villa Vista and I would go back in a heartbeat! The house is beautiful!! It is perched on a hill with amazing views of St. Barths! It is conveniently located- no more than 20-30 minutes to anywhere you want to go on the island- but secluded as well! Donnamarie has thought of everything for her guests, right down to the comfy robes! Just go ahead and book it already!!

The perfect place for our group
We were 4 couples visiting from various eastern US States. The host was so helpful and there was a person close by to welcome us at the airport and help us settle in. The home was immaculate and the beds were the best! There was as ample parking for the two cars we rented. What a beautiful view from this secluded location. We all agreed it was fabulous place to stay.

First and foremost, the host Pardi family is amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of before our arrival and were a tremendous help while on the island helping us with recommendations for everything (all were great & they even helped us access places we wouldn't have been able to on our own)! The house was very well stocked with everything we needed. The entire family had a great time.

Awesome vacation location
Gorgeous place, with gorgeous views. It is a strenuous walk to and from the beach but worth it. Kitchen is well equipped but not a lot of room to store food off the counters. We enjoyed the hot tub—not the most comfortable but very cozy in the courtyard. We loved it and would definitely recommend. I hope we will be back.

Villa Vista Excellence
Our stay at Villa Vista was made perfect by the owner and her property manager. This was the best experience we have ever had with a VRBO property due to her diligence and care for her customers! The property is immaculate, beautifully appointed, and the view is breath taking. We drove our own vehicle and found the island drivers to be very courteous. It does take a couple of days to adapt to all of their round abouts and steep hills but we found it to be quite easy. The restaurants we visited just over the French border were excellent! Villa Vista displays the very high integrity of its owner who truly cares about her customers.

Great views and large living area
We loved the views from the pool deck and spent most of our time there. The villa is spacious (we were 5 adults and 2 kids) and the kitchen is fully stocked which was great for cooking dinners. Note the roads in/out of that area are very steep, but you get the hang of it after a few days (you NEED a vehicle). The villa is about 15-30 min drive from everything on the island. The owner is very responsive as is the on-site property manager (Daryl). The villa was very clean, just needs a few minor fixes (eg some DW30 spray on the patio sliding doors so they open smoother...which Daryl took care of right away). We had a very nice family stay!
