Just about every villa on St Barth claims to have a fabulous view and for that reason alone the island is truly special; views do abound. Some are narrow, some clipped by terrain, some expansive, but sweeping is a bit harder to come by. Add to that an original design, imported materials, a private art collection and beautiful appointments and the potentials diminish quickly. Then add privacy and voila! - there is one - VILLA GRAND VISTA.
Wrapping around St. Barth's tallest peak lies this chic sprawling villa offering a breathtaking (really!) view from each of its three high-beamed pavilions. The central pavilion features one of the largest ( & loaded!) gourmet kitchens, with the latest stainless steel commercial appliances including a Traulsen glass-door ref/frz, Miele built-in coffee machine, huge solid maple Boos butcher block, and an enormous Lacanche stove (with pot-filler, oven, deep-fat fryer, simmer plate, electric and gas cooktops). The spacious dining area includes one indoor and two outdoors offering both sunny and shaded eating and entertaining areas.
Four arched double French doors provide the sunken living room with a direct view of the infinity pool & emerald sea below. Each pavilion and its separate rooms are uniquely designed in vibrant colors and textures and beautifully appointed. Because the villa is located in a rural area, it offers complete privacy and seclusion. Character, detail, and an unrivaled (no kidding!) view define Villa Grand Vista.
The master suite, located in its own bungalow with private steps to the heated pool has a plush leather bed and an enormous bay window room, and spacious bathroom. The Morroccan style bath has shower and free-form tub where you can take in yet another view of the ocean (truly!) and wash of the Caribbean breezes are yours for the taking.
Winding around the master suite is the guest bungalow and outdoor kitchenette. Both guest rooms have king beds and baths with open showers. The view from each guest room continues the sweeping view of St Martin, Anguilla and surrounding islands from East to West.
Guests, rental agents, hotel owners and service personnel, who have seen hundreds of villas on St Barth, agree that Villa Grand Vista is truly magnifique!
Daily maid service, fresh linens, and complimentary airport transit are included..
Handicap-friendly because I am and glad to make motorized scooters and chairs available free of charge. There's even a brand new beach-going chair with the finest paint an fattest wheels, made by Colours, so you don't have to be villa-bound.
Payment by bank wire transfer. Security deposit required.

Why the Owner Chose Vitet
My daughter and I built this villa after getting a fabulous opportunity to snatch a piece of unrivaled property. I still have the original sketches I made of the villa concept and room designs.
The Unique Benefits of this Villa
Really, it's the view. It is so vast, seemingly endless sea. It's so funny to think of the houses near the ocean in Santa Cruz trying so hard to build a small terrace on the SW corner of the second floor o that they could see a sliver of water and honestly say they had an ocean view! Here it is nearly impossible not to see ocean and it's so clear - no smog, no haze, no fog.

Description was accurate. Refreshing and clean! An idyllic location with amazing views I have locked into memory forever. Much more than I expected with plenty of rooms and space for family and privacy. Secluded from the noise and excitement of the island, yet close enough to be in a great restaurant in minutes. Decor and comfort better than my favorite inn. Very efficient yet discreet help. I give this 5 out of 5 stars and hope to return for another Holiday.

I havehad the opportunity to stay at Villa Grand Vista two times and each has been so enjoyable. The villa is ina greatlocation, away from the noise and traffic of thetowns butjust a minute to the best snorkeling beach at Lorient. It's quiet and private and the view -WOW! I was a cruise ship captain in the caribbean for 10 years andvisited many, if not all, the islands including St Barth many times and this view is unsurpassed! And every room has the view. The villa was built with quality materials, is artfully decorated, clean, and the service is outstanding! It's worth every penny!
