Renting a Villa in St. Barths a No-Brainer
Yesterday, we took the Great Bay Express high-speed ferry over to St. Barths ($80 round trip). It was about a 40-minute ride, but the time flew by as we were treated to views of the different Caribbean islands (St. Maarten, Saba, St Barths, others that are uninhabited).
We landed in Gustavia Harbar and had a really nice day (stories to come), but one of the biggest surprises is the fact that accomodations are 70% luxury villas and 30% hotels - there's only about 500 hotel rooms on the entire island.
Not that you'll mind when you see what the villas look like - I was lucky enough to tour one of them yesterday.
Prices can range from a few thousand to over $25,000/week.
Check out this three bedroom, priced on the low end (which makes you wonder what the high end looks like):
