Map & Owner's Profile
Luxury Villa with Pool and Spectacular Ocean, Sunset View
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Pointe Milou
We had traveled through out the carribean for many years. When we landed on St Bart, we realized that this was going to be our Island of choice. We vacationed on St Bart for about 15 years. We decided to purchase a villa in 2002. We have never looked back. There is not another Island, that offers the privacy, the beaches, the chic shopping, the wonderful dining and sense of calm.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
Fortunately, for us, our family, friends and our lucky renters, all enjoy magnificent views and sunsets. We are private, yet convienient to everything. Our open floor plan allows air to circulate throughout the property. Enjoy our pool, shaded dining, rear terrace with day beds and water feature. Easy parking is a plus on St Bart. Maid service, daily, except Sunday included.

Calm Perfection in Paradise

Review Submitted: 01/05/10
My wife and I and our young teenage children were looking for a much needed vacation to relax and recharge before Xmas and the New Year. We had vacationed on St. Barts for over 20 years but have never been more pleasantly surprised than with our stay at this perfect villa. In prior visits to the island we had come to expect and accept a rather relaxed level of quality and service when it came to villa rentals and luxury hotels. But when I first spoke to Michael, the owner, I sensed that this trip might be different - a caring attitude and concern with how he could assist to make our vacation flawless. Like a private concierge he suggested a rental car company that provided discounted cars that would meet us at our landing along with the villa manager who would then lead the way to the villa (and also monitored our flight and called to confirm our exact timing after our St. Maarten connection arrival). Was there anything else he could do - did we have any special needs - groceries to be stocked or a chef one night perhaps? Upon our arrival at the hillside villa in Pont Milou overlooking the Caribbean, I could not believe that this level of quality and design was achievable on St. Barts. There were two large suiles each with a private luxury bathroom furnished with luxury boutique hotel fixtures - the overhead rain showers, a full length glass window in one shower, and designer dual sinks; a "great room" living room overlooking the infinity pool, terrace, sea and sunsets; a chef's kitchen with new stainless appliances; a dining room and additional seating areas with two waterfall zen fountains. Everything was in mint new condition and the villa was spotless. A wonderful sound system, the perfect lighting, cocktails and 7 nights of perfect sunsets provided all that was needed for this idyllic vacation. The staff was exceptional and caring - the meticulous daily maid, the villa manager, the plant waterers, and the pool cleaner. Pont Milou is perhaps the best location on the island with the best homes, a wonderful luxury hotel/restaurant at the bottom (a short walk), spectacular cliffs and views from the top, and a short drive to a wonderful supermarket and french bakery and to the restaurants of busy St. Jean and Gustavia. We highly recommend this villa -it is the best experience we have ever had on St. Barts. We left calm and refreshed and hope to return again in future years!
Owner response:Stephan, Thank you so much for taking your time to review my property. We work hard to satisfy our clients. We will continue to fullfill all your needs in the future. Happy Healthy New Year. Michael

Beautiful Spot

We have just returned from our week at Ecoute ton Couer. It was just as or more beautiful than the pictures on the site. Staff assisted us to the villa and kept it spotless all week. There are so many areas in the villa to sit and read or talk or just stare at the beautiful view that we barely felt it necessary to leave. When we did, we learned that St. Barts is unlike any other island in the Caribbean (this was our first visit). Pointe Milou was a great location to be on the island and this villa in particular was perfectly appointed and comfortable. We are already planning our next trip back.
Owner response:It is wonderful to cater to all our clients, but especially interesting for the first time visitor. We do our best to give pointers so clients will enjoy all that St Bart has to offer. St Bart is a special Island. Thank you. Michael & Arlene

We had the most incredible stay at L'Ecoute Ton Coeur. The house is magnificent and the panoramic views were breathtaking. The location was great -- as we were able to walk for cocktails and dinner to the Hotel Christopher if we didn't feel like driving. One week was not enough -- next time, we'll be going for two. The rooms are well-appointed and comfortable -- every detail has been considered. I can't wait to return. Book this villa today!
Owner response:I am happy that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you so much for a great review. We too, enjoy the amenities of the Christopher hotel. A very convienient advantage for our guests. Michael

When you drive up to the villa you instantly experience a sence of relaxation. Once you are in front of the pool overlooking the view you now begin to understand those feelings. The view is absolutely breathtaking! The villa and its 4 star amenities are everything you could want and/or need on St. Barths. The bedrooms each have beautiful wood furniture with gorgeous bathrooms. The color schemes complement the gardens and flowers you see throughout the island. I would reccommend a stay at this villa to everyone from honeymooners to vacationers, it is just that amazing.
Owner response:I think this is the first review that actually describes colors blending with nature. Many thanks. So happy that you had a great experience. Michael

our trip to this wonderful villa was magical. this being our 13th trip but first to a villa will now change the way we return to our favorite island. the attention to detail on the layout and comfort of the spaces was luxurious and refined. having stayed in point milou many times before we were certain of the orientation but the location at this spot is private and very close to the sea. one will not be disappointed on their visit here. just unhappy upon leaving is your only regret.
Owner response:Such a pleasant and personal review. Thank you so much. It is important that Hotel goers, try a Villa. It is a pleasant surprise. Hope to see you again soon.

The title says it all. A beautifully cared for and maintained comfortable two bedroom villa with pool. Magnificent views and sunsets looking out at Lorient, St. Jean, and St. Marteen in the distance. Sits just above the Christopher hotel, walking distance for great lunch, dinner, and spa coming soon. 2 minute drive from the famous Ti St. Barth's (if you're looking for nightlife). Would definitely go back.
Owner response:It has been 8 years now that we are renting our Villa. I am always pleased to hear such positive reviews. We work hard to continually satisfy our clients. Thank you so much for helping us maintain our success. Hope to see you soon.

Love Birds Nest
Guest: Suz

Date of Stay: 01/15/11
Review Submitted: 01/31/11
Over the course of our 2 weeks at the villa, we witnessed the perfect love nest being built by 2 sweet doves right above our bedroom door. It was lovely entertainment and we actually caught ourselves bidding the birds goodbye when we left. How simple life can be when we downshift into vacation tempo in such a beautiful, relaxing place. We have been coming to St. Barths for 30 years, and are still enchanted by the island....the colors, the weather, the relaxed life there. Ecoute Ton Couer is a very comfortable villa and we very much enjoyed being there. The attention to detail is evident, from the well appointed kitchen to the comfortable furniture...to the daybeds in the rear of the villa to escape the late afternoon sun. Although the villa has 2 bedrooms, we found it perfect for just the 2 of us as we like having the extra space. Another great feature is the water garden outside the bath as well as the waterfall in the center of the villa itself. We were close enough to the sea to hear the surf, but unfortunately that means being close to the small parking area below....although sitting in the villa itself (which is all open space) was a much better vantage point of the sea. The pool is small, but lying on the floats with the view of the sea was refreshing and pretty heavenly. Having the Christopher Hotel right there proved to be a plus, as we could walk over for drinks or dinner if we didn't feel like getting in our car to go out. The villa photos on the website are accurate, although one does not get a sense of how close to the road it is....even though the road ends one house away and it is a deadend. The villa was kept very clean 6 days a week by Aline, who was very respectful of our privacy. Michael, the villa's owner was attentive to our needs and I would definitely recommend this property to friends....but of course being a bit more descriptive of the location. Over 30 years we've seen a lot of changes on the island, although there's plenty that forever remains the same. For a wild Saturday night on the island, Le Ti St. Barths is a must. We had a fantastic cerviche meal at Bonito....a new restaurant, but the space has been one of our favorite spots in Gustavia forever! Also, L'Isola for a good Italian meal and we always take the pilgrimage to Viet Nam for Asian food and a change of pace from typical island dinners. We also had a great dinner at Christopher sitting on the terrace literally on top of the water. Enjoy!
Owner response:Thank you so much for this wonderful review. I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay. The lovebirds (doves) have been there for many years. Usually, we have a hummingbird nest on the palm, next to the waterfall. Hope to see you again. Michael

Review Submitted: 01/19/11
My wife and I have rented private villas on a number of Caribbean Islands over the years, but we're done shopping around. Nothing in our price range has ever come close to Michael and Arlene's villa and we give it the highest possible marks across the board. The online pictures made it look incredible, but really don't do it justice. The view is phenomenal, the layout, furnishings, decor, infinity pool, fountain, sound system, cleanliness, and attentiveness of the local management are all superb. We had the added bonus of getting to meet Michael and Arlene since they'd been staying at the Villa prior to our arrival and they were as gracious and helpful in person as they were on the phone while we prepared for our trip. This is an absolutely fantastic place and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation, particularly a couple looking for a private, romantic getaway. We can hardly wait to come back.
Owner response:Michael, Sandra, thank you so much, for taking the time, to write this pleasant review for our villa. We are very happy that you enjoyed your holiday and enjoyed meeting you. Hope to see you again soon. Michael & Arlene

Unsurpassed beauty and elegance

Staying at Ecoute Ton Coeur is like staying at the vacation home of favorite friends in the islands (provided one of those friends is a very successful designer with exquisite taste). Before and after our trip we had several e-conversations with the owner, Michael, who seemed genuinely engaged in making sure our stay was as pleasant as possible. Amidst the elegance and upscale attention to detail, it has warmth that pulls you into your surroundings. You can almost feel the stress and worries fall away. We loved the location, the privacy, the comfort, the lovely respite from the mid-day sun....just to mention a few of many things we treasured. It is ideally located to watch the glorious sunsets – close enough for a quick outing to town or the beaches, but far enough away from the lights of civilization that at night you’ll see a starry sky you’d forgotten existed! In fact, one of my favorite memories is skinny-dipping in the infinity pool at night, sipping Chardonnay and watching for shooting stars. Although we were alone, it is perfect for two couples because both bedrooms are located at separate ends of the house yet similar in size and décor with windows facing the ocean. For whom is it recommended? Anyone!! We are in our late 60s (are you thinking about the skinny-dipping now?) and thought it the perfect getaway. Whether you are an experienced traveler or on your first trip away from home, Ecoute Ton Coeur will not disappoint.
