1 Bdrm Condo with Superlative Views of St. Barts

Description from the owner

"Superlative views of St. Barts" is how one renter described the view from Princess Heights unit 402.

From the time you walk in through the mahogany front door, you'll know why this luxury boutique hotel with its granite counter tops, recessed lighting and marble floors, is consistently rated by visitors as one of the top rental experiences on the island.

Unit 402 is a spacious, 1000 sf, 1 bedroom, 1 and 1/2 bath condo. Our condo has been repainted, a new central a/c unit has been installed and the kitchen has been upgraded with stainless steel appliances, blender, and a coffee/cappuccino machine. New living room furniture includ...es a queen size pullout sofa and an over-sized single pull out chair, both with extra plush mattresses. There is a flat screen TV and DVD player and free broadband internet. The bedroom has a king size pillow-top mattress, 500 thread-count duvet comforter, flat screen TV and DVD player.

A short walk or drive down the hill will put you on Dawn Beach which you've already seen from the balcony. Rated by many travel magazines as one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, you can relax under the palm trees or find great snorkeling right off the beach. However, there are many world class beaches a rental car drive away! Visit Orient Beach, the most famous on the island with many bars, restaurants and activities. Pinel Island, a 10 minute ferry ride from French Cul-de-Sac, with warm, calm crystal clear water. Plum Bay (Baie aux Prunes in French) and Baie Longue are both beautiful nearly deserted mile long beaches. There are many more beaches to discover as well, each as beautiful as the next! You may want to take a day to cruise to Anguilla, St. Barts, or Saba, beautiful islands which can be seen from St. Maarten/St. Martin.

After a long day at the beach, take a dip in Princess Height's Olympic size pool, which is never crowded, or relax on the large covered balcony with a cool exotic drink.

With a full kitchen, you can easily eat meals in, though the island boasts many world class restaurants. Grand Case is well known throughout the Caribbean and the world for its restaurants. But there are many other fine restaurants throughout the island.

We take pride in our condo and want to make your visit as comfortable and as memorable as possible. Never hesitate to ask a question or let us know if there is something we can do to make it more enjoyable.Read more

  Perfect place to come home too

  My sister and I stayed at this wonderful apartment for the duration of our stay. We made the most of our time and explored every day. Knowing what were coming home to at the end of the day made it so much better! Away from the hustle and bustle of tourism, the apartment is completely self sufficient, so we cooked dinner most nights and ate on the balcony with a glass of vino. (A side note, make sure to take a cord for your ipod to connect to the TV - we played music this way). We were extremely happy with the choice we made in this apartment for various reasons. The owner Rick was incredibly helpful right from the get go, giving tips on the island, offering to help in car rental etc. And extremely prompt on all his email reply's. I searched for weeks for apartments and this was the top of the pile! It was also great that the apartment was in a hotel complex so we were able to use all the amenities, such as a cleaner for the room, gym, pool, laundry facilities. Check in was effortless, just like a hotel, no needing to meet the owner to exchange keys, this made it very convenient! Also a security guard at night, so you know your car is safe, although Dawn Beach is a very safe place on the island. To make the most of your trip a car is a necessity! Top spots on the island would be - Mullet Beach (Simpson Bay), great beach with little to no waves and extremely clear water. Loterie Farm Ziplining followed by Rose and tapas in the lounge area. Bamboo Bearnies (Maho) Best Sushi in the world, go for dinner and try the Birdsnest roll with an espresso Martini or Mojito. Horse Riding at Bayside (Le Gallion) take the swim with the horses option - truly amazing! Capt. Bob's (Soualiga Destinations) boating tour of the island - great way to see the island, very informative, excellent tanning opportunity, unbeatable beaches and snorkelling with lunch and drinks provided. I hope you enjoy your trip as much as we did ours! Thanks Rick and Barbara for making our holiday perfect!
