7 nights in High Season
When the Orfail family arrived last December, I had their favorite wine chilled and a reservation at Bonito already booked — all from our WhatsApp conversation before they landed. That's what direct service means.
After 30 years on the island, I know which beach has the calmest water for toddlers, which restaurant just changed their chef, and which sunset spot only locals know about. No agency rotates staff who can match that depth of knowledge.
Villa rental agencies and direct booking by the owner are two different models — and for a single-villa stay on a small island like Saint-Barth, the direct approach simply makes more sense. When you book through an agency, you may speak to a different agent each time you call: staff rotates, and your file gets passed between desks. Recommendations tend to be templated — the same restaurant list sent to every client, regardless of your tastes. Agencies also add a 15-20% commission to the owner's rate, which means you pay more for the same villa. Response times can be slower too, especially during peak season when agencies are juggling dozens of properties at once. When you book directly with the owner, you get one point of contact who already knows your preferences, real-time answers on WhatsApp, and the best available rate with zero markup.
I have lived on Saint-Barthélemy for over 30 years. What began as a love affair with the island became a lifetime commitment — and Villa ONLY VIEW is the expression of that passion. Over the years, I have personally welcomed hundreds of families, couples, and groups of friends to our home in Pointe Milou. I am on the island year-round, which means I am available before, during, and after your stay to make sure everything is perfect. When you book directly with me, you are not a reservation number — you are a guest in the truest sense of the word, and I take personal pride in every detail of your experience.
When you book Villa ONLY VIEW directly at onlyviewstbarth.com, you deal directly with the owners who have lived in Saint-Barthélemy for over 30 years. Unlike villa rental agencies in St Barth that charge a 15-20% commission on top of the rental rate, our direct rate eliminates these fees — saving you between $1,800 and $9,000 on a typical high-season week.
Villa rental agencies in Saint-Barthélemy — such as Wimco, St Barth Properties, or Eden Rock Villa Rental — offer a catalog of dozens of properties. They add a service commission (typically 15-20%) on top of the owner's rate. When you book directly with us, you get the exact same villa, the same services, at the best possible rate.
Moreover, as on-island owners, we know every detail of Villa ONLY VIEW and the island. We can recommend the best restaurant for your anniversary dinner, arrange a private boat to Colombier Beach, or make sure your favorite champagne is waiting when you arrive.
Absolutely. When you book directly, we provide a formal rental contract signed by both parties that details dates, rates, and terms. Payment is made via secure bank transfer to a verified account in the villa owner's name, with a clear payment schedule: a deposit to confirm and the balance before arrival. You receive written confirmation at every step. This is the same process used by every professional villa owner in Saint-Barthélemy.
Our cancellation policy is clearly stated in your rental contract. Generally, cancellations made more than 60 days before arrival receive a full refund of the deposit. Between 30 and 60 days, we work with you to find alternative dates whenever possible. We understand that plans change, and we always try to find a fair solution.
Yes — and it is better than what any agency offers. Because you deal directly with the owner who lives on the island, your concierge service is truly personal. I handle restaurant reservations, private chef bookings, boat charters, airport transfers, grocery pre-stocking, and any special request you can think of. You have my direct WhatsApp number, and I respond in minutes, not hours.
When you book on Airbnb or similar platforms, you pay a service fee (typically 10-15%) on top of the nightly rate. You also communicate through a platform that can feel impersonal. When you book directly at onlyviewstbarth.com, there are zero platform fees — the rate you see is what you pay. You also get a personal relationship with the owner from your very first message, and the villa is exactly the same one you would find on any platform.
