It was a very nice experience
The vacation was great. The house was as we expected, I would have two things that may have been better. One was that the air condition in the living room was not working, when we asked the maid about it, she told us that the owner didn't want to turn it on. The second was precisely the maid, she didn't take any care of cleaning dishes and kitchen, we did it ourselves , but I learned that in the other houses that my family rented the maids took care of everything.
Very Nice
Perfect island with a very nice, very private villa.
We had an excellent time and loved our stay and the villa.
Nothing to add, was excellent all around. Everyone was very helpful and easy to get a hold of. Everything worked and was as advertised. Thank you all for a great holiday.

the villa was fantastic!
St Barts was a fantastic place with stunning natural beauty. The West Indies villa set's on the point over looking Flamands and has everything you need to make a gourmet dinner or just dance on the deck.
Very nice
Everything was in place, organized, maid came in everyday in time and did a good job. William Benson was very good at organizing the trip.
Fabulous views, central location, friendly people to work with!
The villa has amazing views, almost total privacy and a wonderful infinity pool overlooking the harbor. We would definitely stay again if the mattresses were changed. (very very firm). Everyone we dealt with concerning our stay in the villa went above and beyond. Exceptional service. The availability of the car was a big plus as we used it every day. We also loved the location. We were right in the center of everything.
Very happy moments :)
Overall a great experience booking thru your company:
starting with Amanda who was very patient and attentive, to William our wonderfull concierge, our welcome person on the island (forgot her name :( , Karima our wonderful cleaning lady and Brice the manager.
TOUR OF 50
Great time, amazing house... could not ask for better service at the house.
Is this what they call a paradise?
Everything was better than how we had imagined. The villa was more beautiful than the way we had envisioned it looking at the pictures on the Internet. We can't wait to go back. We felt si much at home in terms of comfort but it was also so much like a dream in the way everything was so well thought out and designed. It was hard to come back to real life. The villa was designed and decorated tastefully with a breathtaking view, it was kept cleaned and well-maintained with nice plants and everything functioning properly.
A magical experience we must do again!
It was an amazing holiday with fabulous recommendations, very helpful staff members and just an overall wonderful experience. All the staff members especially Andreea were extremely prompt and helpful, the restaurants were all superb and the villa was exactly what we had hoped it to be. We would definitely use Luxury Retreats again in the future and also spread the word to all of our friends.
Thank you all for an amazing trip, it could ‘t have been easier!
Perfection
Everything about the villa was just perfect. Everything we needed was right there and everything was very well organized. There wasn't one thing that we could think of that was missing. The design and set up of the villa was simple, elegant, modern and sophisticated, yet had a laid back, peaceful feeling. We were able to enjoy all areas of the villa and got a lot of use out of things. The outdoor shower was heaven, the master bedroom has a stunning view and the downstairs bedroom was perfect for two! The pool and living area are stunning and the view takes your breathe away each time you return to the villa and enter through the front door. Before we left we were already talking about our next visit and are looking forward to staying in the same villa!
Fantastic villa, private and comfortable
We had an unforgettable stay at Villa Delirium.
The purpose of our trip was to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday in St. Barths. Our villa, Villa Delrium, was beautifully designed and perfectly situated to enjoy the breezes and view. While 6 of us stayed at the villa several other friends traveled to the island for the celebration. Pascal , the concierge, helped to arranged 2 catered parties during the weekend. One was a casual cocktail party on Shell Beach and the other beautiful dinner party at the villa. He made all arrangements with the caterer, Fabulous Feasts - indeed they were fabulous!!!
I was a bit nervous hosting such events on foreign soil and Pascal took care all of the details so that I could truly enjoy the weekend. My husband and all of the guests had an amazing time. I could never have pulled it off without your help, so Merci Merci Merci!!!
A perfect place to celebrate 25 years of marriage!
Villa Tichka was absolutely perfect. Every little detail was perfect, down to the huge white bath sheets. The kitchen was well equipped. The openness of the main living area out to the ocean was wonderful. The ease of getting to the beach was a nice surprise. We also love the air conditioned bedrooms after a long day of enjoying the Caribbean sunshine and blue water.
Kyody was amazing!
We loved the villa. It was huge, had amazing views and the free calls to US and Internet were great. The greeter, Fred, was also helpful. The drawback for me was the geckos. I didn't realize the villa was completely open air and there is no way to keep geckos out. I know they are harmless but I have a fear of them. Screens on the windows would have given me more comfort.

Clean, new, comfortable space with fantastic pool and view.
Palm Beach is a great villa. It is a brand new, very clean, modern space that retains a comfortable, communal aura. It should be noted that although the pictures can be interpreted as the villa being on the beach, Palm Beach is NOT on the beach. Lorient Beach is a short walk away. You have a rocky waterfront and road in front of Palm Beach. One could swim from the rocky point (or from Lorient) but with all the rocks and boats in the harbor, we found it better to stay in the pool and drive to nearby Saline or any of our favorite beaches for a good swim in the sea. Beach or no beach, Palm Beach is a great villa and we would book it again knowing what we know now.
Wonderful accommodations. Very private and excellent view of the sea.
Mahogany was a great experience. Fully equipped. The view of the sea was spectacular from the from every room in the house including the deck. The plunge pool was great. Easy access to Flamans Beach. Definitely need a car to get around the island.
Great property, great location
Really enjoyed Matajagui. Perfect villa for 2 couples. This is my 6th villa rental in St. Barts and this villa is my favorite so far. No issues at all. If I had to give a negative, I would say proximity to road. Since on a steep incline, you could really hear the traffic climbing the hill. I was a bit confused when I arrived to St. Barts because the local company ICI did not have a booth at the airport. The folks at the Si Barth counter called Fred who promptly came to greet us. He was very friendly.
Hilly House Experience
Hilly House is a beautiful place, perfect for a couple. Great location and very quiet.
Breathtaking view.....convenient drive to restaurants and beaches
Great place for a family vacation - lots of water activities close by, great restaurants, world class shopping. Arrowmarine Villa is a well designed space for a family; steps to the beach are too steep to really take advantage of although our sons did the climb daily to snorkle; car is essential; landscaping is impressive and view towards the water is amazing.
Nice and particular place
We had a nice stay everything was in order.The house is very well done and very comfortable. The only thing was that the kitchen equipment was not very clean but ok anyway and that we had not been told that the house was so close to a very busy road so it was very noisy in early mornng and all day long.
Stunningly beautiful and relaxing
Great location and fantastic view. Very entertaining watching the beautiful yachts anhored below us. Wonderfully equiped kitchen and very private.

It was an amazing experience, as always.
This is my fourth trip to St Barts in the last 5 years. Luxury Retreats took care of everything, from inception to completion.
As we were leaving the island via ferry, our luggage was inadvertently left on the dock. After we arrived at St Martin, no one (literally no one!) was the least bit interested in helping us locate our things, never mind getting them to us after we left. I was able to get Nick on the phone, and he arranged for a representative on the island to go to the dock, find our stuff, and take it to the local office in Gustavia. From there, it was a matter of getting it shipped back to the USA. Without the help of the staff, our luggage would no doubt have been lost permanently. Nick, Jeremie, and Fred were a tremendous help and should be commended!
Great Villa in a Fantastic Location!
Villa FEL is a wonderfully located villa with views that cannot be beat. Villa is fully furnished with all the amenities that one would need.
The best view in 8 years of villa renting
Wonderful 12 days of relaxation.
Beautiful villa with incredible views of the ocean. Really great to have the concierge service just to help organize the arrival, food in fridge, lunch reservation, car rental etc....made things very easy.

As close to heaven as possible!!
We absolutely loved La Tor. The villa was perfect for two. The view was absolutely spectacular. The concierge was excellent and their staff were very professional, gracious and accommodating. All services were beyond our expectations. We will absolutely use you again as well as refer your services.
Perfect!
The staff of Luxury Retreats handled absolutely every detail, from house selection, financial transactions, restaurant reservations, airport transfers perfectly. On top of it, whether communication was via email or in person (in St. Barth's) each employee was a pleasure to deal with and extremely responsive.
Very nice
Very happy with villa being so new, clean and well kept. Liked the open floor layout and comfy beds. would have liked a larger pool.
it was clean relaxing and very private
we had a wonderful vacation in st bart one of the best vacations ever I loved the villa even the roosters and the barking dogs because I felt that I was in a neighborhood and it wanst at all touristy... the beaches were gorgeous we had a great snorkelling day with Didier and his dog Cookie they took us out one afternoon. we enjoyed getting up early to see the fishermen come in with their catch and one day we bought fresh Mahi Mahi to cook at home I came home so relaxed and refreshed also we enjoyed going to a patisserie each morning for coffee and a pastry....
Exceptional experience with Audrey & Bruno, great view & beautiful
The villa realoly worked for us. Great view, fabulous bedroom and bath.
Wireless internet and terrific central location on the island. From our initial meeting with Audrey to th prompt service from Bruno we were very happy. The only problem we had was the phone didn't work for several days and the wireless internet went out the last two days......
excellent
Villa was luxurious, views of Gustavia we incredible. Sibarth staff were very good.
Had a problem with a car rental and it was fixed quickly.
Excellent
Aside from being down a bathroom secodary to water damage on the 1st night, our vacation was perfect!

Heaven on earth.
Every aspect of the villa rental was handled in a very professional and comprehensive manner.
Heaven every day!
Perfect little house (complete with a nespresso machine). Couldnt be more comfortable
Amazing private dock on bay for long swims
Heaven on Earth!
Upon arriving, we were all taken back at the sense of grandeur and simplicity of this villa. The view was something to behold. The infinity pool was perfect. Enjoying the sunsets, dining in the outdoor dining area and lounging by the pool were some of our favourite things to do. It was a peaceful and private environment. The gym came in handy and was appreciated by all - too much eating and drinking fabulous wines and champagne! We plan to return again next year!
Wonderful. That simple.
The villa had been recomended by friends, very picky friends, who had stayed there before so we had a sense of the quality. The pictures on the web site can sometimes be a bit misleading so having the personal reference was good. Monica has worked with us for the last 5-6 years so we always go to her to make the booking even though our friends recomended someone at a competitor.
Villa 21 is just perfect.
Villa 21 was just perfect for our family. The location was good, we were pretty close to everything. The area around it was very nice and well maintained. The villa and property were very well maintained. It was very private and the views were spectacular. Villa 21 is so spacious and it really has 2 master suites, so it was just perfect. Great choice.
Definitely provided the relaxation that I needed from my deployment
St. Bart's is a very clean, peaceful and low key Caribbean island. We enjoyed the many beaches and variety of restaurants.
Really a good time
We enjoyed our stay at Mahogany Villa. The common areas are spacious and it's great to be able to make dinner,sit out on the veranda with cocktails and watch the sunset. We were only 2 blocks from the most beautiful beach. Truely a delightful stay.
Loved it.
Beautiful view. Great location.
Great time and very relaxing
We enjoyed the villa a lot; great location and good set-up.
amazing!
the Villa was fantastic and jeremie was an amazing Specialist always did his best to please us.
we had a great time in St Barth !
Very comfortable and easy
The house is charming. Very comfortable and easy to feel at home. The view is great. The pool doesnt get much sun light, but nevertheless, is quite nice.
Tranquility at its best!
We loved our stay at MLO Cottage Breeze. The SIBarth folks were jsut wonderful and took very good care of us. The villa was well appointed with everything we needed and the view was beautiful. We especially love the turtles that joined us in the afternoon at dust for a taste of the grass! I only wish the pool as warmer and the mosquitos were less hungry!
Thank you for a wonderful vacation spot!
Fabulous.
Wonderful place, people and food. Made even better by the seamless concierge services.
Gourmet views in St. Barts
We loved the villa. It was the perfect place for us and our little one to hang out for a week. The kitchen is gorgeous, equipped with any gadget you can think of to create delicious meals. Top of the line everything, we especially appreciated the Nespresso machine! The living room leads seamlessly onto the patio, equipped with lots of places for lounging. We used the Bose stereo throughout the house/patio so we could listen to music everywhere. The infinity pool overlooks the hillside and ocean and although I wish it could have been warmer, it was great for a quick cool off after a hot day around town. All in all, the perfect place for a couple or small family - we can't wait to go back! Thanks to Luxury Retreats and the on location staff for making sure no detail was left unattended - we were well taken care of throughout the entire trip.
we had a wonderfull and relaxing time
villa was very clean. the pillows on the beds were very flat and uncomfortable so we needed to take all the pillows from the other bedroom to make it comfortable. View was great. people at ici and la were very nice...Fred and girls in the office. Christiana the cleaning woman was very nice and did a great job. The wine you left in the fridge for us was delicious and the fresh flowers put in the villa was a nice touch.
Perfect Villa in SBH
All was perfect except that we had to leave - wish we had another week in paradise. The villa could not have been better - it was everthing we expected from the pictures and descriptions.
Fantastic!
Mahogany villa was incredibly private, clean and fresh! The pool and sun deck were fantastic along with the villas amenities. We could not be any happier with our villa an dtruly enjoyed our relaxing vacation in st.barts!
I love St Barth! The view ogf the villa was stunning but I think we cf
I want to say that Jeremie Comeau was outstanding in his customer service and suggestions
He was the driving source in terms of having our stay in St. Barth be amazing
Location, location, location..and a very nice, simple villa
We have been at many islands in the Caribbean, and St Barth definitely wins by far! Beautiful, clean, safe, perfect beaches, really really nice and happy people. Very expensive, but not gas or supermarket, so budget can be adjusted. The villa was far less luxurious than others we have been at, but it was just great. It is located in a very secluded beach, so although it is on the water, remains very private, with only occasional surfers walking by. Rocky and difficult to get to the sea just in front of the villa, but beautiful beach with waves for surfing or boggy boarding just 100 m walk to the right. There is always a sea breeze, which keep mosquitoes to a minimum. The living room does not have a ceiling fan, which would have made night movie watching more comfortable. I would rent the same villa again. Overall, the best Caribbean vacation we have had.
Beautiful villa with views and amenities that did not disappoint
This was our first time in St. Barts. The island was welcoming, beautiful beaches
and wonderful restaurants. We will be back

Villa 21/ St. Barths
Villa 21 is located in Lorient, which is a great location for stores, restaurants and beaches. The views are lovely and the villa has everything that you need for a basic stay. Bedrooms are the only rooms with a/c with the rest of the space being open air.
Wonderfully Relaxing Honeymoon
Beautiful escape in a great location. We ran into trouble with our airline, and Luxury Retreats was greatly accommodating in getting us situated on our changing timeline.
Phenomenal
We had the perfect vacation. Hilly House (our villa) was so much nicer than it appeared in the pictures on the website -- e.g. there were no pictures of the jacuzzi tub in the bathroom, a very pleasant suprise.,
A great week at a beautiful villa in an exceptional location
St. Barthelemy is among the best destinations in the Caribbean and the Blue Indies villa must be among the best locations on the island. Access to the Guanahani Hotel is a unique amenity, and one which we found to be worthwhile. The villa is just beautiful, with exceptional open-air architecture and craftsmanship.
Villa Manon - peace on earth
Staying at Villa Manon gives all your senses a workout! The driveway certainly wakes you up and the final approach to park the car is as smooth and quiet as the rest of the drive wasn't! The peacefulness of relaxing on the lounge is unreal. Birds singing all day. Turtles strolling through the grasses. Mega yachts and sailboats silently cruising along the Caribbean. Constant sea breezes and the warmth of the sun. French bread and pastries from the nearby Le Petit Columbe. All the amenities one could possible need in the villa. Truly a spectacular property. And if that weren't enough you have Irma to answer all your questions and take care of your daily cleaning!

Extrordinary! We loved the villa, especailly the pool, and the view
The villa was superb. We loved the view, and the music system really made the atmoshere there wonderful.
Everything was great.
My only complaint:
The shopping could have been better for the money. No water, not knowing that we could not drink the water, and only one days worth of food was not worth the shopping fee, especially with things closed on Sunday (our first full day there)
