Taking its name from the alter ego of the Greek god Apollo, who was said to be the sun god personified, Villa Phébus is a joyful, exuberant celebration of light, warmth and eclectic design. It’s an unorthodox, inviting place to let your hair down, kick your shoes off, and succumb to the sunshine of the Caribbean. Villa Phébus’ flexible layout makes the rental property appealing for couples, groups of friends traveling together, or extended families on vacation. Here, in this tranquil retreat, you work far less hard than the Phébus of mythology ever did, and succumb to the sea views and ocean breezes coming in over St. Jean.

Even though it’s an audacious experiment in design with a lime green kitchen island, Villa Phébus is an imminently livable and relaxing home. The views over St. Jean Bay are tremendous, and the design makes the most of those vistas.

The villa unfolds across two levels, with everything facing the sea. The upper level comprises a living area as well as the gourmet kitchen.

If you choose to venture out, Nikki Beach, St. Jean Beach and the shopping area are nearby. Or stay in and soak up that sunshine and those views. The main terrace has ample areas for sitting, dining and barbecue, along with plenty of chaises downstairs by the pool.
