Location: Anse des Cayes, St. Barthelemy, Caribbean (Located on Pointe Lezards, Seaview) View Map
Accommodations: Villa, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 2-4)
We have discounted car rental rate available to villa guests.The Villa is a 2 BR, with air conditioning (split system - very quiet). The master bedroom is 16 x 20 with cathedral ceiling, natural cypress planking and white rafters. All floors throughout are Saltillo red tiles. The master garden bath is spacious with two shower heads and unique artistic plumbing. The sink is custom made with terra cotta bowls and stone surrounds, a faucet that I designed with the roundness of the bowl and rock inlays. There is a rock wall with built-in seat for lounging, a garden, a privacy wall with an antique stained glass window from a church in the south of France. Living area is open and airy, with antiques collected from the Caribbean over the years of island hopping. Years of work as a professional chef, aided in the design kitchen, simple and easy, marble counters and custom-made cast sink with service bar, and all the equipment needed for a special night. Dining is on the Terrace overlooking the gorgeous view and pool.
Located between Anse des Cayes and Anse des Lezards, 100 yards from the yards from the waters edge, Villa Avril has the sounds of the surf all the time. Walking to the white sand beach of Anse des Cayes takes about 3 minutes down a gentle hill ... my children walk there all the time when we are on the island. The neighborhood is very calm and quiet, the road dead-ends at Anse des Lezards, so there is no thru traffic. You can walk to the beach in Anse des Cayes, and go swimming or go to Manapany Hotel for some food and drinks.
There is a nice little grocery in the neighborhood, also a Salon Mixte, beauty shop, and three local restaurants Chez Yvon, Chez Ginette, and New Born, which specializes in fresh seafoods. Gustavia is 5 minute drive, St.Jean Bay is 4 minutes.

Love the villa, the pool is right there and the design is very open and lush. The bedrooms are very cool and quiet and the bathrooms are very exotic. The orchids were in bloom when we were there and taking a shower under the moonlight was awesome... The kids loved the pool and the easy walk down to the beach of Anse des Cays. The villa is fully equipped including beach stuffs so we didn't have to bring anything except our clothes. I have stayed at other villas, but this one is special and very romantic..... and a wonderful value. Email the owner for a special rate , he is very understanding of the financial situation.. Also if you are lucky and the owner is on island, he brought us some fresh mahi mahi for our dinner ! Also check out the guest book, they had a celebrity guest named Pamela H.S.
Owner response:I am so glad you enjoyed the villa and look forward to your return visit ! Our original custom designed bathrooms are very unique and with the flowers in bloom, its very romantic tropical experience. thanks for your review.

I cannot say enough of the accomodations we experienced on Villa Avril, simply the most beautiful place I have ever stayed! The view, privacy and yet accessibilty hands down make this our number one preferred villa on the isle of St Barts. I almost don't want to write this review due to the fantastic value the villa is compared to many others on St Barts, it is always our first choice. My husband and I have stayed at many of the hotels and villas all over the island nothing is comparable. It mirrors sexy boutique hotels without the staff fussiness. I love the convenience to local shopping and restaurants without being in the congestion of town. Simply perfect, need I say more!

Thanks again for another fantastic vacation on SBH!! We really enjoyed ourselves back at Avril again. LOVED the heated pool! It was the first time in 7 visits that I actually got into the pool, the solar heating was a great idea. The new outside chairs and ottoman really add to the comfort of the villa, so does the table and chairs along the wall. The gardens are beautiful and well kept, I am already missing their colors. Having the SirusXM on the TV in the living room is also a bonus. Courtney as always your love and attention to your guests is above and beyond! We really enjoy our visits with you.

My husband and I were lucky to spend a week away from the hustle and bustle of NY and completely unwind and reconnect while staying at Villa Avril. Waking every morning to sunlight filtering through the windows was so peaceful and exactly how every day should begin! We spent a few days exploring the island - the amazing white sand beach at Gouverneur was straight from a movie (a quick 5 minute walk from the villa!) and dinner in Gustavia made for a perfect day, but we also spent a few lazy days sitting by the pool soaking up the sunshine and catching up over cocktails. We definitely look forward to staying at Villa Avril again and highly recommend the property to all of our friends and family when we tell them about our fantastic trip!

What a great time we had in the villa. The place is fantastic and the kids had a great time. The pool right there in next to the dining room and we couldn't have asked for a better location for the family. Easy access only one step into the villa, gorgeous jungle garden baths, showers under the full moon.... The children loved the Tv as well and we had a super time.
Owner response:Thanks so much for you review and look forward to having you return in the near future! Take care and thanks Byron
