Villa Harbor Haven, Gustavia

Carefully decorated in a welcoming, casual-chic style, Harbor Haven provides our guests with a unique opportunity for experiencing St. Barth a different way. Situated right in the heart of Gustavia, with a magical view out over the harbor and the boats at their moorings, this apartment charms everyone who sees it. Recent guests have remarked on the unexpectedly relaxed lifestyle that comes with Harbor Haven, once they discover the convenience of being walking distance to so many of their favorite restaurants and clubs, all the best boutiques, and of course Shell Beach.The main living room is integrated with the dining area and kitchen, creating an open, loft-like feel. Sliding glass doors open out onto a balcony that runs the length of the apartment, which makes a great spot for a sunset apero while watching the yachts return to port. A “vertical garden” decorates the wall at one end of the terrace, and a grill at the entrance to the kitchen makes hosting a barbecue simple. The kitchen itself is modern and designed for ease-of-use, with a large center island, Siemens appliances and a Lavazza espresso machine.The living and dining areas are light and open, with comfortable seating, a home theater system, and a pleasing decor employing light wood and eggshell shades, fine art, and French country-style antique furniture. Also located on the second floor is the master bedroom, with a king bed, ensuite bath and a view onto the flora in the building’s central 2nd-story courtyard. The bathroom is outfitted with fixtures by Gessi and Villeroy & Bosch and comes with the convenience of a washer/dryer. The second and third bedrooms and their shared bathroom are located one flight up, one with a queen bed and the other with a full. Natural wood floors and plenty of light give these rooms an open and airy feel.
