Representing Villa Belle Bague, which is a classic traditional St. Barts villa rental, has been nothing but pure joy. The villa rental business has always been extremely competitive on the island of St. Barts with over 400+ villas. Over a couple of decades, we have found it to be extremely rare to find such a consistent performing villa that has always had a high quality level of features and amenities. The owner puts financial resources back into his property.

Some of the key features of Villa Belle Bague include:

1. Four private bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms, five star furnishings, and parity in size. This makes it great for couples when they share the expenses. There will be no ugly decisions as to who gets which bedroom. No couple will feel cheated.

2. Wonderful layout and floor plan. Each bedroom is connected by an outside covered walkway, but has the privacy of being its own building.

3. Incredible view - one of the most requested requirements when renting a villa is the view. Villa Belle Bague will not disappoint.

4. Heated pool is just what the guests want so they can swim during the winter months when the evenings can get a little cool.

5. Indoor/Outdoor dining is a wonderful option. There is a dining room that has air-conditioning along with outdoor dining, which is covered to protect you from the elements.

6. Of course guests travel to St. Barts for the sunshine, but after being in the sun for any period of time shade will be required. Villa Belle Bague has some fabulous outdoor seating that is in the sun, but more importantly has lots of comfortable seating in the shade.

7. If you like to cook or want to bring a chef in to do the cooking, it is rare you will find a better equipped kitchen. The kitchen has a great location in the layout, which makes it easy to serve inside or outside.

8. Fitness rooms seem to be a standard requests. Villa Belle Bague has a well equipped fitness room for those who want to maintain their routines.

9. Sound system is nothing short of fantastic. Listening to your favorite music inside or out is very easy.

10. Consistency in quality and how Villa Belle Bague makes you feel. Below is a long, long list of some of the feedback Villa Belle Bague has received over the years. The owner does not sit still in terms of living off the positive feedback, but is always looking forward to see what he can do to improve the next guests adventure.

“What a fabulous home! We have been to St. Barth many many times and this was our favorite spot by far!  Thank you for opening up your home to us - we plan to be back soon and often.  This was our 40th anniversary trip and this was the perfect place to celebrate!”

- I & J,  MAY 2022

“Another very special time at our favorite place to get away - we love staying here - the view is so spectacular we spent more evenings having drinks and dinner watching the sunsets.  When friends ask if you win the lottery where would you take your family? It's always St. Barth's!  Thank you for opening/sharing your home with us and we look forward to our next visit.”

- S & M,  MAY 2022

“We have stayed in your home several times & once again loved every minute of being here!  The kitchen is wonderful and we enjoyed the many fun dinners here loving the view.  We hope to return soon as St. Barth is a favorite spot for our entire family!  Thank you for letting us enjoy this special villa.”

- D & M,  MAY 2022

“We have had the pleasure of two glorious weeks in your beautiful home since 2014.  We have always cherished our time in this magical place with our family.  We started here with young children and we are now here with 2 daughters and a fiancé. This year is especially sweet, arriving after two years of Covid shut down.

We love the wartime that fills this home - the well-appointed kitchen we use every day for meals; the stunning gardens and outside terraces; the French West Indies vibe combined with the modern updates; and, of course, the breathtaking views and sunsets.

This home is an amazing oasis for us and we deeply appreciate and respect all that you have done to create this home!  This is a beautiful spot to be cherished.“

- A,  MARCH 2022

“Thank you for your attention last week!  We appreciate it.  You made our stay very welcoming.”

- W,  MARCH 2022

"I cannot find enough words to describe this exquisite house.  We have been coming to this island for 23 years and have stayed in many beautiful houses.  But this house has such great character.  Every day we find something else we love about it.  Had a party and everyone wanted to rent it.  The maids were so nice and really helpful.

- C & B,  JUNE 2021

"What a truly MAGICAL place to find sanity in our crazy world!  We so enjoyed our visit here during these unprecedented times.  Coming from the US we had to undergo 2 COVID tests before coming to St. Barth’s and we would do it all again.  Upon our arrival, the people and this wonderful place were so very welcoming - we are so thankful to this beautiful island for restoring our love of life"

- M & H,  JULY 2020

"So lovely spending time at VBB again. After 5 years in a row spending anywhere from 2 weeks to a month at VBB, we can knowledgeablysay it is the best villa on the island! The privacy, views, garden, kitchen, layout, furnishings and hosts are extraordinary. We appreciated your being on the spot whenever anything came up, too. Having you reliably always on top of our household takes away the worries that come with other places we have stayed. The housekeepers were very efficient and did an excellent job too."

- P,  FEB 2019

“(We’ve) been coming to St Barth since 1987 and have never stayed in a more beautiful, well set up, comfortable villa ever before."

- K & H,  DEC 2018

"We loved the villa its exceptional view and location, so quiet ..
on top of everything we were very lucky with the weather. We will surely come back!"

- J,  AUGUST 2018

"Thank you for a magical week, it was so easy to drift off into paradise here.  The beautiful house, the moon, the sound of water, the sunsets, the starry nights made it other-wordly.  We will be back next year! Thanks again!"

- C&J, A&M, C&A, K&T,  MARCH 2018

"We so enjoyed our stay at VBB! Our family has been looking forward to this vacation for months and it was everything we could have hoped for and more! The will is just spectacular and perfect for us and our 3 grown kids (and SOs)  The pool was perfect and the kitchen a delight for all the cooks in our family.  Such stunning sunsets! We had such a lovely weekend escaping the NY cold.  Card games and cocktails went by in a flash.  Thank you for sharing your marvelous home with us!"

- THE W FAMILY,  MARCH 2018

"Merci! Belle Bague is a dream!  Every morning, every sunset.  The turtles, hermit crabs, and the birds!  The croissants from Le Petite Corumbe and the hike to Colombien we enjoyed every second. XOXO"

- M M, MARCH 2018

"What year is this..? 4, 5, 6?? What week are we in..? 2, 3? What day is it and what is my name?  Thank you for entertaining us again in this beautiful house that has become so dear to us.  We adore Dawn, Paulette, Paulina, and Mr. & Mrs. G for bringing it all together.  Good luck with Irma repairs and here's to a wonder year and hopefully returning soon."

-  P, M, L, P, T, S, FEB 2018

"Awesome -- 

Fabulous --

Best Week ever."

- D&T, B, D,  JANUARY 2018

"We were not sure what this year’s trip to St Bart’s and our stay at VBB was going to be like after the devastating Hurricane that savaged much of the Caribbean. We were presently surprised how St Bart’s was able to put their best foot forward with great restaurants and food, a lively downtown in Gustavia and our Villa VBB as great as years past. We are so glad we did not miss this year."

- FAL,  JANUARY 2018

"We were there in early January and had braced for the worst of course. Miraculously the only thing missing at Villa Belle Bague (hands down our favorite place on St Barth and we've been vacationing there for thirty years) was one four foot piece of rain gutter which was to be replaced the day after we left. I had to get my favorite laptop screensaver out which is a shot of the terrace from a couple of years ago for comparison of the landscape. A branch or two are gone, a few palm leaves. Still one of the most beautiful views anywhere. I think of it as the mole on the face of Eva Mendes."

- W & M B,  JANUARY 2018

"We leased your fantastic villa the week of Dec 10, 2017.  We initially had some doubts about going to St. Barths at that time because of the hurricane damage from Irma, but we found that almost all the shops/restaurants/services were intact and we had a spectacular St Barths' experience.  VBB was fully operational and spectacular in its own right.  We cannot wait to get back."

- BE & DC,  DECEMBER 2017

"Thank you so much for another magical stay!  We loved every moment of this amazing island and this very special villa with the best views in town! We will be back for sure!"

-  F & L ABUALI, J & B MCMAHON, S HONG APRIL 2017

"We have spent two glorious weeks in your stunning home - this is our fourth year and we thank you so!  This is a cook's kitchen and I am a cook”

-  P & R ANSTY MARCH 2017

"What an absolutely beautiful home - the lovliest we have ever rented. It is so well stocked - we lacked for nothing.  Thank you for a perfect vacation.  We hope to return.”

-  B & C WELLER NOVEMBER 2016

“Villa Bella Bague is a special place that feels like home.  Oh my gosh, the jaws that dropped when our friends arrived.  We could not have picked a better villa for us to introduce our friends to St. Barts.  Thank you to the villa manager for coming so quickly to deal with the door issue.  Thank you to the staff who cleaned for us every day (sorry for those blasted ashtrays in the morning!).  Thank you to the Boston owner of the Villa, who’s personal investment in the villa is obvious and appreciated.  Please let the owners know that we think Villa Bella Bague is very special and simply spectacular.”

-  PETER & TYLER  MAY 2015

"We came from a snowy Sweden to your beautiful villa on St. Barth.  This is our 3rd tie on the island and we love the lifestyle! We have visited all the beautiful beaches such as Colombier, Saline and Gouverneur.  There are many nice restaurant for lunch and dinner on the island but we spent a lot of time in your magic villa!  We really enjoyed our vacation and staying in our house, so well equipped, and the style is beautiful and well fitted on the island, super nice spots to hang out in as the living and dining area outside.  Many thanks" 

-  HASSELQUISTAPRIL 2015

-  FRED L. JANUARY 2015

"Villa Belle Bague is one of the few villas that falls under the umbrella of near perfection.  The spacious living areas, the views, and setting lure you into comfort that makes you never want to leave.  Truly a beautiful home, heads and heels above your average rental villa."  

-  J.L.  DECEMBER 2014

"We truly enjoyed our stay at this lovely villa. All the comforts of home with the gorgeous setting and every attention to detail. We hope to be back next year."

 - C.R. AND FRIENDS, MAY 2014

"Thank you for sharing your beautiful villa with us. We enjoyed staying the week . Amazing time with friends on St Barths and staying here was the perfect compliment to this fabulous island. Dawn and the housekeeping are wonderful. Thank you!!"

- DEBORAH AND FRIENDS FROM NEW YORK CITY., MARCH 2014

"We all visited VBB at the end of February, and had a fantastic time!"

- D.M., MARCH 2014

"Our family just wanted to thank you for helping to make our stay in St Bart's at Villa Bague one of our favorite holidays ever!  The villa is so beautiful and everything works flawlessly and we had everything we needed.  Paulette and Aime were wonderful, too.  Have a great season and we hope to see you next March!"

- THE ELIA FAMILY, MARCH 2014

"What an amazing time we all had at Villa Belle Bague. The villa is stunning, and I particularly loved the location. Given it is at the end of that final road in Colombier, we had a very quiet and peaceful setting at the villa. The hike down to the beach was enjoyed by all every day!
  The entertaining space and pool area, as well as the four separate bedrooms, are so incredibly well thought out. Kudos to the owners for making a home with such a terrific flow! We congregated for cocktails in the outdoor living room and then enjoyed several meals in the outdoor dining area. The views are so beautiful and given the villa's design, you get to see them no matter where you are in the house! I also loved the décor they chose, it is very elegant while being comfortable at the same time.
  I can not say enough about this wonderful place. We are already coordinating our calendars so we can return next year! Having traveled to St. Barth no less than ten times myself, I have a lot of experience with regard to where to stay on the island- which is why we will be choosing Villa Belle Bague for our future visits because it is, without a doubt, the best place I have stayed!"

- J.P, JANUARY 2014

"Something about the way it's laid out weaves magic. Looking back we don't say 'it's the most beautiful and beautifully appointed place on the island' (which it is).  We say 'I can't remember when we've had such a wonderful time with good friends'. As it should be. Really is a great hang down there, congrats to you both on an incredible job." 

- BILLY, JANUARY 2014

"VBB, what a great villa for for entertaining and hosting guests. We all thank you for a fabulous two weeks full of fun and fantastic memories."

• FRED L AND OUR GUESTS, JANUARY 2014

"We loved your beautiful house. The perfect location. Privacy for so many people in one place. The hike at the end of the road. The pool. The views and the breeze. The decor and great music.  We had a blast." 

— RICHARD, NOVEMBER 2013

"The outdoor spaces and pool are just a joy.  Everything is so clean and lovely.  I loved the outdoor living rooms, I napped in them every day and read.  We swam with the children in the pool 3 or 4 times per day. Not to mention the insane view!  The wifi was excellent.  The quality of linens.  The satellite TV with US Channels....A dream in St Barth 5 Star"

— JON, NOVEMBER 2013

“Our stay in Belle Bague was the perfect compliment to our recent vacation on the lovely Island of St. Barts. There is so much to love about your island, and Belle Bague is the perfect way to compliment a week in Paradise. We could easily have simply stayed put each and every day and enjoyed the spectacular view from the pool area. I doubt there is a better place to call home anywhere on the island, and we are already planning our return next year. Please let me know what weeks are available, because we will definitely schedule our vacation around the availability of beautiful Belle Bague. Many thanks for all your effort during our week to make sure all went smoothly. It certainly did.”

— JENNIFER, APRIL 2013

"Villa Belle Bague is a simply a wonderful, beautifully appointed, and very

spacious gem. The luxury envelopes rather than overwhelms, and tasteful comfort feels more important than opulence. It is as good as it can get on St. Barts – incredible panorama of the surrounding sea from Anguilla to Statia and all in between, a constant movement of warm air in both during the sun of day and the moon at night, and the delightfully designed areas that urge you to be as social or as separate as your mood dictates. Our visit could not have been more pleasant and relaxing, and we can think of no place more welcoming during a cold Northeast winter…"

 — JOHN, MARCH 2013

“Villa Belle Bague was a big slice of heaven on Earth. As beautiful as the rest of St. Barts may be, we found it difficult to leave Villa Belle Bague, because the view overlooking the azure blue waters from the pool (and indeed pick any spot on the property) kept calling us back to it. The property is extremely well kept and every detail was tended to expertly. We tried mightily to find a single flaw with the place; we failed. If heaven has a VIP room, this is it.”

— YUKI & CHRIS, DECEMBER ‘11

“Thank you for making our stay in St. Barts comfortable, easy, and thoroughly enjoyable. The villa is simply stunning.  Please let the owners know how much we appreciated being able to rent their lovely home.

Thank you again for your kindness, & hard work keeping this villa in great shape.”

— NICOLE & ANDREW, APRIL 201

Thank you so much for such a great place to get totally tanned up!! This is a paradise & will be extremely hard to leave!!! Nothing quite like tying one on in St. Barts!!!”

“It was perfection. Thank you for such a beauty of a home.”

—TODD, JANUARY 2006

“This was a very special vacation for us – our friend's 40th Birthday – there were 14 of us around the island  (they stayed in different villas around the island) — but this house was and has been the best we’ve had so far. This house was our meeting place, our break from the beach and our resting place. This house is beautiful and we hope to return soon. Amazing!”

— THE GANG FROM NYC, APRIL 2006

"Thank you for creating a paradise in paradise — exquisitely designed and considered a privilege to have been a guest."

— RICHARD, JANUARY 2006

“From start to finish we had an amazing week at the Villa — what a special place. Everything was just perfect for us. We can't wait to come back!"
