My wife and I stayed here for 6 days. I loved this property because it is off the beaten path, but still centrally located so that all the hot spots on St Barths are within a few minutes’ drive. When you want to get out of the busy Gustavia or St-Jean, you drive over the hill to a world of rugged, and rustic natural beauty. The quarters are small, fun, and funky, reminiscent of a summer camp cabin. It is air conditioned and has some basic kitchen accouterments such as microwave, toaster, coffee maker and tiny fridge. The unattached bathroom is part of the rental. Being separate from the cabin will be a negative to some, but I felt that it added to the rustic charm of the place! The swimming pool is shared with another cabin, but we were alone on the day we used it. Saline Beach is described as being “steps away.” Maybe if you are a hiker or a runner, but not for us! We preferred driving to Gouverneur Beach which is also not far away! The owner, Cat, was the consummate hostess, showing us superb hospitality and flexibility when we texted her about a delayed arrival. She met us in the dark of night after an arduous journey and immediately made us feel at home. We interacted with her a few other times and she introduced us to her pet Macaw, “Cookie.” As animal lovers, this was a real treat for us! If you decide that this is your place, consider cocktails or dinner at Le Tamarin, right outside Cat’s back gate. It is not inexpensive, but breathtaking in its beauty

Quiet and private property away from the hustle and bustle but walking distance to one of the great beaches on St. Barts. Great garden setting with parking and wonderful pool.

Can't beat the location! It's less than 2 minutes by car from Saline Beach, and some great restaurants right there, including a back entrance to Tamarind. Easy access to roads to Lorient and St. Jean (4 minutes to either) or Gustavia (7 minutes). We stayed in the room with the bathroom outside, and it's fine, the bathroom is really nice! Mildly annoying if you need to use it in the middle of the night but that didn't bother us. Only downside is that the A/C barely works - you're going to sweat inside at 3pm, but be ice cold at night. Upside, the private pool is a haven in the afternoon. There's only one other rental here and we never saw the guest. The larger room has a separate outdoor kitchen, which looked nice. The mini fridge can't keep up in the heat, we had to rely on the provided cooler with ice from Lorient. Not a deal breaker, just be prepared for that. The best part is that the owner Cat is extremely flexible, she let us check in early and because there was nobody renting our space after us, she let us stay until our 5pm flight. That was amazing, thanks Cat!

We had an absolutely lovely stay at Cat’s property. She is a warm and gracious host that made us feel welcome and at ease. This is not obvious when travelling as a gay couple. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to return to this fabulous cottage in a magical garden. The location is amongst one of the best on the island.

Unique and charming property. Walkable to Tamarin restaurant. Short drive to Saline beach. Outdoor bathroom is nicely appointed and private. Beautiful pool onsite. If you like quiet time surrounded by birds and greenery this is for you.

Such a beautiful environment and welcoming host. Disconnect from the outside world and connect with nature. Safe and conveniently located. Awesome vacation 😎

It was lovely to experience St. Barts probably the way it used to be at the bungalow. The sounds at night were amazing and Cat was a wonderful host.
