For our recent trip to St Martin, we decided to combine it with several days on St. Barth. We looked for a villa and found Alouette. Before arrival, I was a bit concerned that the location would be too remote, but it's really very convenient to everything. By car, it's 3-5 minutes to Lorient, 5-7 to Grand Cul-de-Sac or St Jean and perhaps 10 minutes to the largest grocery and airport. It is a quiet, very private villa, yet it is a quick drive to almost anywhere on the island. The house itself is exactly as pictured and is well kept. The patio and pool are wonderful amenities and generally, it is a comfortable and very complete home. Before writing this, I was trying to think of a drawback to the villa, but honestly can't. Ludo was very helpful from beginning to end and we were made to feel very welcome. The value is very good. If you are looking for a private getaway location, and still enjoy all St. Barth has to offer, I strongly recommend Villa Alouette.
